Stage presentation and Image is an important aspect of the show and the band dress in Forml attire suitable to the event. As part of our written booking process, we request from the client the preferred dress codes, ranging from casual to formal.
It takes 30 - 45 minutes to set up the equipment subject to access to the Room. The band generally arrives to an event around 8pm (earlier start times can be arranged). So generally,the band arrives on location 1hr 15 minutes prior to start time.
Alias have an extensive almost inexhaustible set listing, which has been tailored over the years to suit all ages and all tastes of music. The list comprises of hits from the 40's to the present day, and from waltzes through to traditional music. We play at events ranging from weddings to corporate events, and have played at Christenings to our oldest Celebrant who celebrated her Birthday at 80 years young.
Very often, the most worrying part of a wedding day, or other event, is wondering if the band will show up. Alias pride themselves on the professional service that is provided. We excel in customer service and punctuality.
Alias has a state of the art sound system. We increase or decrease our levels on the night, depending on the venue, crowd and the client's requests. The band can play quietly in the background, or very very loud! The choice is entirely yours, but the band generally knows the right level to play at.
For a wedding, the band leaves this choice to the bride and groom. However, the band do suggest placing a limit on the numbers as inviting singers onto the stage tends to slow down the party atmosphere. Plenty of time for a sing along at the after hour session that we can host in the residence Bar later
Customer Feedback
... Again, many thanks for your wonderful performance at our wedding! Everyone raved how great the band were and really enjoyed the night!
You played the first song to a tee - but our feet didn't move quite so well - it was all a bit surreal for us, the whole day really but we did enjoy it once we loosened up a bit!
Thanks again and we will be sure to recommend you to anyone in the future! Best of luck to you and Alias
