"They performed at our festivities at Club Social El Mirador in Toledo and it was spectacular. After a full week of celebrations, with the audience already exhausted, Kalifornia Party Band managed to get everyone back on their feet with their energy. They took us to full throttle from the very first song. They have a different, modern and very approachable concept. They connected with the crowd from minute one, with an impeccable stage presence and a genuine desire to enjoy the moment with us. True professionals, fun, and with a repertoire that made people of all ages vibrate. We will definitely book them again. "

"The Aangename Gasten added something really special to our wedding party. As agreed, they started playing entering the room where we just finished our dinner, resulting in pleasantly surprised guests, Their charming and warm appearance in combination with their beautiful (guitar supported) music made people wanting to dance and sing along. Overall, more than we hoped for and therefor a big thanks to them!""

"BY THE ORDER, performed at our club on Saturday. wow, what a night! They involve the audience throughout, and always do the utmost to get people dancing.
