About
UnderCover is a cover band for hire in Toowoomba, QLD.
Gayle Dixon sings lead and Ian Dixon plays the kit, and between them this Toowoomba pair cover a lot of ground. Live vocals and live drums sit over professional backing tracks, which is how a two-piece ends up sounding like a full band on the hits everyone already knows. They can drop it right back too, so dinner gets a soft soundtrack rather than a wall of sound. The gear and lighting come with them, and they turn up about an hour early to set up and sound check. Speeches are easy as well, since you're welcome to use their microphones. Both members are insured and hold Working with Children blue cards.
The show
Live vocals and live drums over professional backing tracks, which is how two people end up filling a room the way a whole band would. Gayle and Ian turn up roughly an hour ahead of your start time, get the gear standing and run their sound checks while the venue is still quiet. Lighting is theirs too. And if there are speeches to get through, one of their microphones is yours for as long as you need it, so nobody has to shout across the room.
On the day
Two things are asked for and neither is complicated. Power that can be relied on, meaning a supply that won't drop out halfway through a set. And a flat patch of ground with a roof over it, since the gear and the drum kit both need to stay dry. Everything that plugs into that power arrives with the duo.
