Feedback

  • Oh My God! Its been 24 hours since our daughter's wedding, and our phones have been ringing and text messaging all day with praise from the wedding guests about Nick, Gary, and Rich in the Hooked On Sonics Band. Everyone is raving about how cool it was to have such a kick-ass real rock band at a wedding instead of just a wedding band. Everyone danced and had thetime of their lives. It was a mixed crowd of all ages, and it was so much fun that even 90 year old people and small children were rocking out to Nick's song stylings. My wife danced so hard that she can hardly walk today! The wedding was a magical event due to the intensity of the band. -- Debbie M, Mount Prospect, IL, 8/1/2010
  • Hooked On Sonics are not only one of the best live bands in Chicago, but they are the nicest guys you could ever meet. They made my wedding the biggest BASH of our lives and had the entire crowd on their feet the entire time! If you are looking for a band that can rock, funk out, and throw in some pop for good measure, this is YOUR band! Honestly words cannot do these guys justice, check them out live and you will see what i am talking about!! -- Will L, Barrington, IL, 10/31/2009
  • Off the charts these three guys were happy to be there and played like it to. Thanks for a great time Tim Calcagno -- Tim C, Elmhurst, IL, 5/8/2009
