Feedback

  • These guys are great! We booked almost a year out and communication was great throughout. They played great songs (mostly rock/pop/blues classics, I think a little bit of country rock) and listened to our preferences. We had fairly dancing-oriented guests at our wedding and they were well satisfied. The band even pulled some of our especially exuberant guests (and both of us) onto the stage to sing along for a few of the songs. It seemed the band had a good time too - they kept on playing for an hour longer than we'd booked them for. We definitely recommend these guys 100%. Thanks Steve-O, Roxy, and the boys! -Leon and Nichele -- Leon L, Madison, WI, 6/11/2011
  • Steve O and his band were just awesome. I received so many compliments from my guests and will need to get some of the bands cards to hand out. They learned 2 new songs for our wedding that were not on their normal playlist, and Steve O even rented and played an autoharp during my ceremony for my sister to sing with, it was absolutely beautiful. I could not have asked for a better band music is something Matt and I take seriously and this band created everything we needed them too for the day to go off without a hitch!!!! Love you Steve O, Roxxy and band, hopefully we will see you guys soon, wait I know we will!!! -- Michelle O, Egg Harbor, WI, 9/26/2009
  • I loved them! Everyone loved them! They were fantastic. The dance floor was never empty. They even jumped off the stage onto the dance floor where everyone went crazy. I received so many complements on the band. Everyone said they have never heard such a great band at a wedding. They played poka, they plaid oldies, newies and everything in between. They even took requests. And they are so personable! When they were on break they didnt make themselves scarce they were right in the crowd mingling. I would recommend them to anyone who likes to have fun! Sincerely the newest Mrs. Stross! -- Monica S, Blue River, WI, 10/4/2008
  • From booking to loading up and leaving at the end of the night, I give Flip City Live a standing Ovation. All night I had people coming up to tell me what a "Grand Slam" the band was. We had the most dancing and crowd participation we have had in 5 years. Can't wait until next year to have another great event. Catch for A Cure in Baraboo Loves Flip City 'Live. Thanks so Much. -- Wendy G, Baraboo, WI, 8/30/2008
  • Flip City Live really made our party. They were really great people and easy to work with, the music was awesome, and best of all everyone at the party made comments on how much they liked the band! We would deffinently hire them again and/or refer them to anyone who was looking for a band. Thanks Flip City for making our party so great! -- Stacy M, Prairie Du Sac, WI, 5/31/2008
  • I had so many great comments---the music was really enjoyable, the band members made the crowd part of them. I would recommend them to anybody. We will keep them in our records for future events. gail hall--chair -- Gail H, Watertown, WI, 7/13/2008

  • Flip City Live was great to work with. They were very accomodating and personable. They played just exactly what I wanted. I kept trying to leave the dance floor to change into my dance shoes but couldn't leave because I didn't want to miss any of the songs. They even let my nephew join them on a couple of songs. I couldn't have asked for a better group. We had a really great time. -- Barbara W, Middleton, WI, 7/5/2008
  • Flip City had our dance floor full most of the night. Good music,very accomodating and got involved with the crowd. They were our judges for the Halloween part of the party. Great Job!! -- Barbara C, Sharon, WI, 11/1/2008
