Los Angeles Cover Bands

The best live music bands for Los Angeles weddings are the ones that understand the event is focused on the bride and groom and their family and friends having a great time. These bands can sense the vibe the room is giving off and what songs will draw the most amount of people to the dance floor. They raise the energy for dancing and lower it for dinner, slow dances, and the newlyweds’ first dance.

One of the things that make weddings unique for bands is the age range and ethnic diversity of the audience. The best Los Angeles wedding bands have a playlist that spans hits from the 50′s to current top 40. They guarantee they can even get the grandparents of the bride and groom on the dance floor! Part of the way party bands do this is by playing music of timeless artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, and Nat King Cole, perfectly fit for both the newlyweds on their first dance and as a slow ballad for the older audience.

A lot of the younger audience wants more hip and upbeat dance tunes. Oftentimes the musical taste of the bride and groom differs so much there must be a balance between the two. Wedding bands and DJ’s create a bridge of music between the bride, groom, and their guests, spanning different tastes, flavors, and styles. The bandleader (usually called the emcee) will call the right songs at the right moments and know when to raise the volume to get people on the dance floor or lower it down for light dinner conversation. These helpful tips will help you pick the best DJ and/or bands for your wedding in Los Angeles.

Tips on choosing the wedding band in Los Angeles that best fits your needs

Posted on April 25, 2013 by admin

A typical Los Angeles wedding band usually knows and can cover hundreds if not thousands of dance tunes. As the client, you will probably have a certain type of genre that suits your needs. If in doubt, pick music of timeless artists such as the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Frank Sinatra, and Nat King Cole, as well as songs 9 out of 10 people if surveyed would recognize. You can also try to imagine what your audience will like based on the age range and ethnicity, and you could even ask a few of your most special guests.

One of the first things to do when shopping for bands is to ask for their song list and decide how many musicians in the band you are willing to pay for. The size of the group and the instruments is vital to the sound you are looking for. If you want music to be one of the highlights at your wedding, find out what instruments you would like, such as horns, male and/or female vocalist, percussionist, string quartet for the cocktail hour, or electric strings, which are quickly becoming the premiere choice of clients for cocktail hours and even wedding dance music in LA.

Los Angeles wedding bands don’t require you to give them a set list, as it is a courtesy to let the musicians choose some of their own repertoire. Selecting songs that are of emotional significance to you and your partner will ensure your evening will be memorable for years to come. As a plus, your guests will know both of you a little more by the end of the night!

Los Angeles Dance Bands-The LA Players

Posted on October 28, 2011 by admin

Recently I had the opportunity to check out a new Los Angeles Dance Band The LA PLAYERS live at the Hotel Intercontinental located in Century City.This is a great Los Angeles dance band that is available to play at weddings and events. They are young and talented and can play a wide variety of current music and classic hits. Some of the musicians are graduates of Musicians Institute and have spent a lot of time perfecting their craft. Currently they are performing live music every saturday night at the Intercontinental!

Having never been to the Hotel Intercontinental or seeing this Los Angeles dance band perform live I didn’t know what to expect but the night turned out to be delightful. After walking into the lobby my eyes lit up. It is spacious and elegant, adorned with beautiful flowers and lighting. I sat in the lobby bar area, which was also decorated beautifully and watched as Funk Shway livened the room. Each guest either entering or leaving the hotel noticed the classic songs coming from the band and I could see a little hop in their step as they walked by. One group of buddies from Australia were overly joyed by the tunes that they shouted for an encore, and they got one! They were absolutely blown away by these young musicians and gave numerous compliments. Some servers were even dancing to the music behind the bar and while they served food and cocktails.

That is another great thing about coming to watch The LA PLAYERS perform at the hotel Intercontinental; the food is flavorful and delicious! My table ordered hamburger sliders and fries and I couldn’t keep my hands off! After enjoying The LA PLAYERS’ fine performance and a few mouthwatering fries I spoke to some of the members and I realized that the group was filled with awesome, kind people who all have a true passion for music. This Los Angeles dance band has true talent and chemistry between themselves and their audience.
