Bio
Live Band Karaoke. The name says it all. Karaoke with a LIVE BAND. Combining
the silly fun of karaoke with the energy of a live rock band. Live Band Karaoke allows
anyone to fulfill their
rock and roll fantasy.
Singing is only half the fun! Watching others performing their unique
renditions of rock's greatest songs also contribute to the hilarity.
Some singers really belt out the tunes, while others make up for a lack of singing ability with
rowdy stage presence.
Either way, the irony and humor work on many levels as the band rocks
out the songs true
to the original recording. Band members can also contribute as back
up vocalists and help out with forgotten lyrics.
Live
Band Karoake provides lyric sheets for any song on the list. The lyrics
are printed in large type so they are easier to read while singing. There are tons of songs
to choose from covering
all areas of rock and roll providing something for everyone.
Here's what some people are saying:
"I just wanted to shoot you an email saying how much we loved having Live Band Karaoke at DrakeUniversity for our Homecoming 2011 events. They were a huge hit among the students and were a joy to work with. Their interaction with the audience was wonderful, especially by not making them feel embarrassed, even if the singer's karaoke skills were lacking. For next year's Homecoming Co-Chairs I have recommended getting Live Band Karaoke again, so I hope this turns into a wonderful Drake tradition. "
Thank you – that was the best LBK gig that I’ve seen here, and students are
still talking about it. Everybody who wanted to sing got on stage, but there
was such a demand that they had to cut off sign-ups halfway through the show!
Steve, Tim, Scott and John were all so talented and wonderful to work with as
usual. The student emcees were amazing; they dressed up, gave away prizes, and
came up with a creative introduction for every single person who sang. Live
Band Karaoke is an absolute favorite at Bluffton – rocking out is a heck of
a way to end the year.

Dear Live Band Karaoke,
The Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Department at Naval Station Great Lakes
would like to thank you for your band’s recent performance at the Great
Lakes Idol Competition on Sunday, May 2nd, 2010. Your band members’ cooperation,
conduct and timeliness was recognized and greatly appreciated. Their presence
greatly enhanced our competition state atmosphere, and their enthusiastic performances
helped encourage the audition contestants to make the stage their own. The judges,
audience members, and audition contestants thoroughly enjoyed the evening and
are looking forward to a similar special event in the future.
Your band members’ interactions with our patrons were enjoyable and professional.
All were able to leave with memorable moments that occurred throughout the evening.
Again, on behalf of the active duty, spouses, retirees, and other civilians
associated with Naval Station Great Lakes, we would just like to thank you for
helping us to make this a special and memorable event. Your talents will be
thought of for future special events.

Scott,
The Student Activities Committee at Southwest
Minnesota State University would like to take the time
to thank you for the quality entertainment and
professional courtesy and correspondence we have
recieved from you, your agency, and your artists.
Looking back at our Fall semester we have had a busy
season with a lot of knock out events. All of us here
at the Student Activities Committee share the
sentiment that our best event of the semester was by
far Live Band Karoake. We had our largerst turn out
of the semester and perhaps of our committee's recent
history. It was a great event for everyone in
attendance. One particular SMSU student told us,
"This was the best night of my whole year, I have
never had this much fun!" He said he loved the chance
to be a "Rock Star," and he was!
The musicians from Live Band were so much fun, and
great to work with. People were having so much fun
late into the night, and the band even played extra
for us. It was a huge favor. They also said that
they were having fun with us and loved our crowd.
They told us they were excited to come back. We are
excited to have them here again and looking forward to
it very much.
Please feel free to share our sentiments expressed
here.
Thank You All,
Student Activities Committee at SMSU
