t's hard to pick just one "best gig" as Straight Up has had so many incredible experiences! Playing festivals like the Isle of Wight and Rockstock were definite highlights, with huge crowds and amazing energy. But honestly, every wedding where we see a packed dance floor and guests singing along is the best feeling. As for the best venue, performing at iconic places like The Ritz and The Savoy in London was pretty special.
Our repertoire gives a good clue to our influences - classic rock bands like Bon Jovi, The Killers, and Guns N' Roses are definitely up there. Picking a single favorite artist is tough, but I (Jeremy, the lead singer) have a real soft spot for Bon Jovi ever since we opened for them back in Australia. And the greatest song of all time? That's an impossible question! It probably changes daily, but today I'm feeling "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen.
We've all been passionate about music from a young age, dedicating ourselves to honing our skills and performing at every opportunity. Jeremy began my musical journey fronting a rock band in Australia, where we toured extensively and played numerous festivals. I even had the incredible experience of opening for Bon Jovi on their Australian tour, which solidified my love for performing and connecting with audiences. The other band members have equally impressive backgrounds. Ewan, our bassist, studied at the British Institute of Modern Music and has a knack for laying down a solid groove. Simone, our lead guitarist, honed his skills at the Institute of Contemporary Music Performance and brings a wealth of experience in both studio and live settings. His impressive solos add another dimension to our sound. And Sebastian, our drummer, trained at the prestigious Queensland Conservatorium of Music and provides the driving force behind our music with his powerful drumming and backing
Weddings are definitely a favorite! There's something so special about being a part of someone's big day and creating a soundtrack to their celebrations. The energy is always amazing and it's incredibly rewarding to see everyone having a blast.
We'll be on site for a full 7 hours, from 5pm to midnight, ensuring your event has a fantastic soundtrack from start to finish. Ideally, we require 90 minutes for setup and soundcheck, allowing us to create the perfect atmosphere for your guests.
However, we pride ourselves on being flexible and accommodating. If you have any time constraints, we can be ready to go within an hour if a sound engineer is booked as an add on.
Our performance includes two energetic 60-minute live sets usually from around 8pm, guaranteed to get everyone on the dance floor. In between sets, we'll keep the party vibe going with carefully curated background music, ensuring a seamless and enjoyable experience for everyone.
Yes as long as the weather is suitable or if there is a back up option or cover for the band and the equipment.
The clients can make suggestions for songs from our repertoire, and we always offer a one 'off the menu' request that the band can learn, either as a first dance or to go in the band set.
They were truly professional musicians and they have an incredible sound. They were so helpful in terms of communication, set up and start times and kindly let us use their microphone for the speeches. The dance floor was filled for their entire set and they appealed to the entire age range of guests at our wedding.
