What is the Live Band Karaoke Rock Star Experience?

LBK is probably the best corporate events band operating in Australia, and with a unique feature. Any guest at your party is welcome on stage to be the lead vocalist and experience real rock stardom!

The band plays with you and for you and all the lyrics to the songs appear on a screen in front of the singer.

Our line up includes electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and our own vocalist to help you along. All the musicians sing vocals, so we make you sound like a star!

BASIC GIG INFORMATION

  • You do not need to know all the words to come on stage and be a rock star.
  • We provide an MC unless you want to use your own.
  • We can sing and play all night if you are a bit shy, although this has never been required.
  • Even if a particular guest can't sing, our band will drive the song and can make anyone sound good! We guarantee a great show regardless of how much musical talent is at your party.
  • Our roving MC distributes song lists and generally encourages guest participation.
  • A standard show is three hours (which is 3 x 40 minutes with 2 breaks). We think the last three hours of the party are the best time for us to play, but we can adapt to most formats.
  • You can use our PA system for speeches and presentations if you would like to.

FORMATS, OPTIONS AND INCLUSIONS

  • We love an open mic free-for-all but we can include a talent competition in the evening if you wish.
  • Idol-style nights have proven very popular as part or all of a gig. (We've had clients appoint guest judges like Paulini and Kyle Sandilands)
  • We can provide all production (sound, staging, lighting etc) or deal directly with your technical providers.
  • We have an extensive list of rock and pop songs selected to put energy into a party.
  • Our list of songs spans 6 decades, from Elvis to the Chili Peppers and more.
  • We have travelled all over Australia and can work offshore subject to availability logistics.
  • We have played at everything from investment banking conferences to fundraising events, awards nights and even private birthday parties.
  • Our smallest show so far has been for about 20 people, our largest over 1,000.
  • Yes people can dance to us, and they always do.

What did they think about the gig?

"We host awards nights every year….when we heard about LIVE BAND KARAOKE we immediately booked. As a result we had the best Awards night ever" Raine and Horne ( Hired LBK 2006, 2007, 2008)

"I have seen LBK on four separate occasions - one corporate at KPMG (350 people), one charity ball for Marist Youth Care (250), one Sydney Uni rugby club party (120), and one private birthday party (70) - and although crowd numbers and ages changed each time, the result was always the same. Great rock and roll, and fantastic fun for all the instant rock stars!"  Andrew Logan

"The entertainment you provided far outshone anything we have done previously."

Guys thanks for doing a great job last week! We will definitely keep both you and the band in mind for anything further that pops up. (Feb 2008)

I will definitely be recommending this for our next corporate function.

"Feedback from colleagues has been nothing short of excellent"

"I had a fantastic time up there with the band on Tuesday night and know that everyone at  thought that the entire night was great!"    (Feb 2008)

OTHER GIG GUIDELINES

  • While we encourage duos and trios, stage sizes and safety issues will prevent too many people on stage at once as a group. We will have to make the call on a gig by gig basis.
  • We cannot without notice add songs to our list: we will always try to help but the answer might be 'sorry, no' or it might mean incurring costs. By all means ask though.
  • Our insurers and our lawyers warn us not to let overly drunk people on stage: Your insurers and lawyers probably agree.
  • Not all venues are suitable for a live band so talk to us first so we can make sure that everything works well for acoustics, power-points and so on.
