About
The CEOs Band is a cover band for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Five musicians, a Newcastle base, and a song list that runs from the 60s all the way to Blinding Lights and As It Was. The CEOs Band can sit back for dinner music, then lean into Mr Brightside and Thunderstruck once the floor fills. There's a country rock streak in there too, with Shania Twain and Dolly Parton turning up alongside the pub rock. For weddings they'll cover the ceremony, the quiet early hours and the dancing later on, and the group can strip back to a duo or play instrumental sets where a full band would be too much. All they ask for is power and enough room for five players and their gear. Insured.
Watch
On the day
Enough space for five musicians and their instruments, plus a power point on site. Nothing beyond that. Worth thinking about the footprint honestly if you're squeezing them into a corner of a function room, because five players with amps and a kit take up more floor than a mental picture of it suggests.
Performance options
Normally you get five players working through rock covers from the 60s up to Blinding Lights and As It Was. It doesn't have to stay that size. A duo works where a full band would be too much, and the group can play quiet instrumental sets for dinner music before lifting into the party material later. Weddings get the whole arc covered: music for the ceremony, background playing through the early part of the celebration, then the dance band for the back half of the night. A sound engineer can be brought in as well if the venue calls for one.
