About
Mo' Swagger is a cover band for hire in Sunshine Coast, QLD.
Mo' Swagger scale from an acoustic duo up to a full band, and everything in between: trio, four piece, whatever the room and the budget suit. The set list is wide on purpose. Bill Withers and Van Morrison sit next to Sia, Meghan Trainor, Fleetwood Mac and Crowded House, with Otis Redding, Taylor Swift and the Violent Femmes not far behind. They'll play an intimate dining room or a wedding ceremony, then turn the same night into an award show or a reception dance floor. Sunshine Coast based, and they can bring extra production and lighting if the venue needs it. Outdoor gigs need cover and an hour to set up.
Watch
The show
Mo' Swagger are good at reading which kind of night they've walked into. A small dining room where the music sits behind conversation, a wedding ceremony where it needs to be right on cue, an award night, or a reception dance floor that has to stay full until the venue turns the lights on. Same band, very different jobs. The atmosphere is the thing they're selling, and it changes shape depending on where in the evening you are.
On the day
Power, obviously. If the gig is outdoors they'll generally need to be undercover, with enough floor space to fit everyone out of the weather rather than half in it. And they want a minimum of an hour before the performance starts to get set up and sound checked.
Performance options
Size it to the moment. A duo or trio suits a wedding ceremony, and the reception can go trio or full band depending on how much dance floor you're expecting to fill. For functions the same choice applies: duo, trio or the band, with the shorter bookings running two hours and the full band typically three. Extra lighting, PA and staging can be added if the venue needs more production than it has.
