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.

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

What working with us looks like

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

We stay out of the way

Quiet load-in, self-contained rig, no engineer to accommodate, and we're packed and gone on schedule.

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 — insurance, references, a showcase, a site visit — and we'll get it to you.

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