About
Retro City Band is a cover band for hire in Melbourne, VIC.
Retro City Band front a female lead vocalist over guitar, bass, live drums and keys, five pieces working out of Melbourne. The set is 80s and 90s heavy and keeps coming forward: Dragon, Blur, INXS, Alannah Myles, Amy Winehouse, U2, Katrina and the Waves, Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, AC/DC, Kings of Leon. The aim is a full dance floor early and a full one at the end. For weddings they'll cover the whole day, acoustic love songs during the ceremony, the bridal waltz, the parent dances, then party music to finish, and they'll MC if you tell them how you want it run. They need a stage or level flooring around three by three metres, reliable power, easy access for gear, sound check time, and rain cover outdoors.
Watch
The show
Five pieces, a female lead vocal out front, and a set that starts in the 80s and 90s and keeps walking forward to whatever is charting now. Energy is the point. They're aiming for a dance floor that fills early and is still busy when the lights come up.
On the day
A stage or level flooring of at least three metres square, reliable power, and an access route to the stage that doesn't involve carrying a drum kit up a spiral staircase. They'll want time on site to set up and run a sound check before guests arrive. Outdoors, the stage has to be under rain-proof cover.
Performance options
For weddings they'll take the whole day. Acoustic love songs through the ceremony, the bridal waltz, dances with the mothers and fathers of the couple, then party music for the rest of the night. If you want an MC as well, tell them how you'd like the night run and they'll run it.
