Thin Men Band

• Roger Kidd - Drums and Vocals
• Chris Lanier - Bass and Vocals
• Paul Schaefer - Guitar and Vocals

The Thin Men Band is a new trio built from members of the former bay area party band Danzband. The song list has been broadened to include classic standards from the 50's, jazz, oldies rock, classic rock and funk from the 70's and 80's, and some contemporary songs too. Our state of the art audio system provides crystal clear sound at a lower level than most bands, to keep your guests happy, and we provide you with a wireless mic for toasts and speeches. Leveraging decades of gigging experience the Thin Men fit into tight spaces and budgets.

• The Thin Men were a big hit at our party. Great repertoire that got everyone dancing. They set up early and were very professional, friendly and accommodating. So many of our guests commented on how much they liked the music and the fun they had dancing. I definitely recommend them and will hire them again for our next party. -- Kim J, Mountain View, CA, 8/21/2010
• Will Re-Hire Them and Recommend! Very Professional and friendly! It was a great private party! Thanks for playing my father's favorite songs and your flexibility!!!! -- Fernan K, American Canyon, CA, 10/2/2010
• The Thin Men Band, were the life of the party. They came when they said they would, they played all the songs we had requested, even learned a few to please our guests. Our group ranged in age from 40 to 80. Everyone enjoyed the selection. The sound was perfect for our hall. They were friendly and relaxed. Many in our group were very impressed that we had found a band that we could afford and that played so well. -- Kathleen S, Berkeley, CA, 1/15/2011
• everyone really enjoyed the band, they had an extensive list of songs to choose from. extremely nice guys -- Doug F, Scotts Valley, CA, 11/13/2011
• They were great. Very professional and accommodating to a wide variety of requests from quieter and louder. Really nice to work with Paul. -- Elizabeth A, Berkeley, CA, 2/12/2012
• I gotta do all 25 stars, cuz these guys are amazing. Their drummer did the entire Santana rhythm section on his small kit for Black Magic Woman. I watched while he did it and I still can't believe he had all those beats going at once. Last call was Whiter Shade of Pale in perfect organ and voice. They would have played another hour if we hadn't had to shut 'em down by 10 for the neighbors. Great stage personalities, and they love their job. Encore Encore Killer evening!!
