We're Vintage Voltage, a 70s Rock Experience (covers) band from Brighton (UK). We're here to prove that not only old men in wigs can play #dadrock! Just to be clear, we LOVE our dads (and their wigs) and wouldn’t be into this type of music if it wasn't for them. Having said that, we think we appeal to a larger and younger audience given we’re under 30 and can still unbutton our shirts like Page and Plant used to ... During our gigs we transport the audience back in time to (re)live the heydays of Rock; when guitarists were gods and bands religions. We play many classic hits as well as deep cuts by the likes of Led Zeppelin, Free, Sabbath, AC/DC, Aerosmith, Heart, Fleetwood Mac, Santana, Queen, and many more ... Don't expect us to Rock up to your wedding in suits .... It's all about the Hair, Flares, Boots, and Tassels ... ;- )

We need a space big enough to accommodate the 4-5 of us including gear. We also need adequate power and sockets. We can supply a full backline if needed but prefer using house equipment if available.
We have a PA system and laser/oil projector lamps.
We need to know what the best spot to park, if there is a sound limiter, if there will be a an in-house engineer, and whether there is a backline available.
Yes we can play appropriate music in-between sets and whilst packing down. (Might incur extra cost if we are required to stay way beyond the last set finishes).
Last summer we played a gig at a golf course. Everyone there (largely an older audience) loved seeing people our age play the music they grew up with. Next to this we played an awesome birthday in a huge church, when we started out none of us thought we'd be playing Sabbath and AC/DC in church someday ... definitely a highlight! Lastly our Cosmic Xmas in London, as well as our Halloween gig in Brighton were amazing, big vibes and a lot of dancing!
We're a covers band and our favourite bands to cover include; Free, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, The Rolling Stones, The Doors, and many more ....
We're all full/part-time musicians based in Brighton. Most of us met at BIMM where we studied/or are still studying. We started this project because we love Rock music from the 70s, and normally only see older people cover this kind of thing . It seemed like a really cool niche to fill! Besides, it's either this or playing Mr. Brightside and Sweet Caroline ... which we'll leave to the other soul sacrificing musicians out there (respect to them though).
Parties, Club Nights, Birthdays, Funerals, Pubs, we do it all. If the audience dig it, so do we!!! Of course we can tailor our set to the occasion!
We normally arrive 2 hours before the performance to set up and perform 2 x 45 minutes or 2 x 60 minute sets. We’re happy to play a bit longer or shorter but we’ve found that these set times suit us and our audiences best. Of course we always have a couple of encores on hand.
Yes, if the weather allows and/or there is adequate shelter/a tent. The location must be easily accessible tho and not too uneven or wet/damp.
We normally make our own set list. We can learn specific songs before the event given enough time, but we usually limit this to 2 songs and charge and depending on what/when/how might charge an extra fee. The clients are welcome to pick a set list from our existing repertoire
