About
Wheelhouse Deluxe is a cover band for hire in Toowoomba, QLD.
Wheelhouse Deluxe are a Toowoomba trio at their core, with solo, duo and four-piece versions available, and a horn section if you want the big brassy version. The set is Australian pub rock and classic hits: Khe Sanh, Boys Light Up, Am I Ever Gonna See Your Face Again, Down Under, alongside Everlong, Mr Brightside and Sweet Home Alabama. Harmonies are tight and the gear is good, which is not a small thing when a room is bouncing. They'll play a relaxed acoustic set early and shift to full volume once the floor fills. One standard power point covers most configurations. They carry liability insurance.
Watch
The show
Classic rock, pub favourites and singalong anthems, spread across the decades, chosen because they work rather than because the band likes them. The gear is good and the sound comes out full, which matters when a room is meant to be bouncing. They shift gears through the night as well, chilled background early, full noise later. Punctual, prepared and easy to deal with from your first message to the last song. Corporate events, private parties and festival stages all get the same treatment.
On the day
One standard power point does it, 10 amps minimum, and that covers most of the ways the band sets up. So unless you're doing something unusual with the space, there's nothing else to organise on the technical side.
Performance options
The core lineup is a three piece, and it's a loud one. From there you can go down to a duo or a solo, or up to a four piece, and if you want the big brassy sound they'll bring in a full horn section. A common request is a laid-back acoustic set early on, then the full band once it's time to fill the dance floor, and that's easily done. They also work with a wider circle of musicians when an event calls for a particular combination.
