About
The Knots is a musical duo for hire in Bendigo, VIC.
Ten years of weddings between them, and it shows in how the day is put together. The Knots play as a duo with vocals and acoustic guitar, or as a trio with drums when you want the dance floor busy. Pop, rock, RnB, funk and soul all blend into the acoustic sound, so the ceremony can sit soft and the reception can lift. Adele, Ed Sheeran, Vance Joy, Tom Petty, Michael Buble, The Lumineers. Multiple female vocalists are available. Based in Bendigo and Melbourne, and happy to travel anywhere across Melbourne, central and northern Victoria. All sound equipment comes with the band, so nothing needs hiring. They hold performer's public liability cover.
Watch
The show
Pop, rock, RnB, funk and soul, all filtered through an acoustic sound, which is what lets one booking cover a whole wedding day. Soft enough to sit under conversation early on, then loud enough to fill a floor once the drummer joins for the trio. Ten years of weddings between them shows in the timing more than anything: they know when the room is ready to dance and when it isn't. Full PA and setup come as standard, background playlists run through the breaks, and the microphone is there for speeches. Request songs for the ceremony or first dance are welcome.
On the day
All the sound gear travels with the band, so there's no hire to organise and nothing to cross off a list. They ask for a space of about three metres by two with power to it. Outdoors, some cover over the performance area, which protects the instruments and means a shower doesn't end the music early.
Performance options
Book them as a duo on vocals and guitar, or a trio with drums and percussion added. Three wedding packages sit on top of that. The Party package is three 45 minute sets through the reception with background music, lighting and one special request song included. Romance and Dance keeps all of that and adds the duo playing your ceremony, plus a second request song. The Premium package covers ceremony and reception, then adds a duo set over canapes, a third request song and a background playlist built for you.
