About
Zenith is a cover band for hire in Newcastle, NSW.
Horns. That is what separates Zenith from every other covers band on the Newcastle circuit. Trumpet and sax sit over guitar, bass, drums and vocals, and the material runs old and new through pop, soul, disco, funk and jazz: Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Earth Wind & Fire, Kool & The Gang, ABBA, Amy Winehouse, Bruno Mars and Harry Styles among them. They can hold a room at background level or push it onto the dance floor, and they read which one you want. Size is flexible too, from a duo or trio up to a ten piece with extra horns and Latin percussion, and they are good at squeezing into tight rooms with a cut down kit. Their own sound and mixing gear comes with them. Insured.
Watch
The show
Playing time, break structure and even a few song requests all get worked out with you rather than handed down. If you're not sure what you want yet, that's fine. Zenith are happy to talk it through and land on something that fits the event.
On the day
Sound and mixing gear is Zenith's own, so power is what they need from you, plus access to the venue at least an hour before they start playing. Tight rooms aren't a dealbreaker either. They're good at fitting into small spaces, and a cut down drum kit can be used where a full one won't go. Send them details of your space and they'll tell you which line-up suits it.
Performance options
Band size is genuinely flexible. Duo, trio, four, five or six piece, and it can stretch all the way out to ten players when the event calls for a wall of sound. What changes between them is how much of the horn section and percussion comes along, and how much floor space you'll need to find. Charity nights, community events and small private functions tend to take a smaller line-up. Corporate events and weddings usually go bigger. Tell them the room and the occasion and they'll suggest a size.
