FOR VENUES & PLANNERS

The band you don't have to manage

Everything you need to evaluate Hot Popsicle for your preferred vendor list, in one page: what we sound like, what we need from the room, and how we behave on site.

Add Us To Your Vendor List

See and hear the band

Sixty seconds is usually enough to know whether we fit your rooms.

One line-up, two gears

Three players at every event. What moves across the night is the volume and the energy, not the personnel — so one booking covers arrival through last call.

TURNED DOWN

Arrival, cocktail hour & dinner

Sax on the melody, rhythm section sitting well back, held at a level guests can talk straight over. For the stretch of an event where music should furnish the room rather than run it.

  • Conversation-level by default
  • Holds a fixed decibel cap on request
  • Works around toasts, speeches and AV cues
TURNED UP

Dance floor & after party

The same three players with the brakes off — pop and dance hits with a live horn over the top. This is the part of the night the room remembers.

  • Live sax, no backing-track brass
  • Built to fill and hold a dance floor
  • Shifts gear without a set break or changeover

We set up fast and stay out of your way

Between us we've loaded into a lot of rooms. We arrive knowing what we need, set up quickly, and keep clear of everyone else's work — no questions for your staff, no delays, no extra hands required.

01

We don't need a hand

We bring and run our own sound and monitoring. No engineer to accommodate, no extra bodies at load-in, and nothing for your staff to set up or strike on our behalf.

02

We work the room out ourselves

Point us at the space and the power and we'll sort the rest. No running list of questions for whoever's trying to run your floor an hour before doors.

03

We're gone on schedule

Load-out starts when the last song ends, and it moves fast. We're not the vendor still coiling cable while your team is trying to reset the room.

Your caterer, florist and AV crew shouldn't notice we're there until we start playing. If you need exact footprint, power or timings for a floor plan, just ask — we'll give you the real numbers for your room.

Working with us

01

We answer the phone

Inquiries get a reply within a day or two, not a week. If we can't play a date, we say so immediately so you can move on.

02

We confirm before the day

Timeline, footprint, power, and volume get sorted in advance with you and your client. No surprises at load-in.

03

You deal with us directly

No agency in the middle and no account manager relaying messages. The people you talk to are the people who will be on your stage.

Press kit

Photos and logo are free to use on your vendor pages, blog, or social posts — no permission needed, no credit required.

Let's get on your list

If you keep a preferred vendor list, we'd like to be on it. Tell us what you need from a band before you'll recommend one — references, a showcase, a site visit, paperwork — and we'll tell you straight away where we stand.

Happy to come walk the room, meet your team, and see the space before we ever quote a client on it.
