About
Mr Samsonite is a cover band for hire in Bendigo, VIC.
Mr Samsonite have been working the venues of Bendigo and Central Victoria since 2014, and they've played to rooms of every size in that time. A standard night is three or four sets of 45 minutes and up, often starting acoustic, moving through pop and rock, and finishing on the classics that fill a floor. The setlist keeps shifting but currently holds "Everlong", "April Sun in Cuba", "Better Man", "Holy Grail", "Horses", "Dumb Things", "Hoops" and "Blister in the Sun", among plenty of others. They'll adjust the style to the room, loud or subdued, whichever the night needs. Weddings, football and netball club balls, corporate nights and birthdays. They carry everything for crowds up to 250, PA and lights included. Just supply power.
Watch
The show
Three or four sets of 45 minutes or more. A night often opens acoustic, moves into pop and rock you can dance to, and lands on the classics with the big singalongs. They've been playing Bendigo and Central Victoria since 2014, to rooms of every size, so they'll read what your crowd wants and shift the setlist accordingly. Want it loud and party-shaped, that's fine. Want something quieter sitting behind the conversation, they'll do that too. Just say which before the night.
On the day
For crowds up to 250 they bring the lot, PA, lights and all the instruments and gear. All that's wanted from your end is power.
