Some additional feedback from our clients:

"Our experience with The Slacks was exceptional. Even with short notice to support an outdoor event at a non-traditional setting - scheduling was quick, communication easy, and pitch perfect song list from all decades. Our guests had one of the best times remembered with many wanting to schedule another night with The Slacks this summer, and many others planning on adjusting summer plans to attend the event next year. The band was totally pro from set-up, to performance, to clean-up making the event a huge success for all involved."

"The Slacks! Great time and wonderful to work with. They got our feet moving and once they did we couldn't stop. We are getting comments from people days and weeks post wedding who said that they loved the band and thought each set was unique and fun to hear. The Slacks was amendable to a few requests and did their best to please. I have to say that I felt they put all their efforts into making our wedding day the best it could be and thanks to them it was. If you want to boogie, have a grand time, and work with some good guys then look no further."

"We had the pleasure of having the band The Slacks play at the reception of our daughter's wedding this summer. It was an awesome experience from start to finish. They were great to work with and listen to! There was communication by phone and emails, to get all the details set, anytime I had questions, they were quick to respond! They played great songs to dance to and everyone enjoyed their show. I would book these guys again!"

• Words cannot begin to descibe how pleased and thrilled we were with the Action Slacks!!!!!!! Our entire group gave raving reviews for the band. Their music was fun and their voices were amazing!!!! People danced all night and really enjoyed themselves. I'm already planning for them to play at our next Christmas party in 2012!!! You will have the best event with the Action Slacks.....the guys are so nice and personable too.... -- Debbie G, Bellingham, WA, 12/16/2011
• They were absolutely fabulous! Everyone was enjoying them and commenting on how great they were. I would hire them back in a heart beat. Their list of songs was extensive and we had diverse age groups and everyone enjoyed them. They were fun, lively and the best live band I've seen at an event ever. I highly recommend them if you are looking for a group that likes to have fun and that plays something people can dance to. Their fun suits only added to the atmosphere! They were easy to work with and very accomodating as well!! They would be great at a wedding or any event where fun is on the agenda. -- Sandi R, Bellingham, WA, 1/23/2012
• They were AWESOME! They were great to work with, they are very good, great dance tunes and I would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone who asked! I also would hire them again in a heartbeat! -- Deanna A, Arlington, WA, 7/9/2011
• All the comments we heard from the wedding guests were positive. The band played a good variety of songs and really got people on their feet. Since it was at a private residence we had been requested to stop at a specific hour and they were right on time. I would have no hesitation recommending them to anyone. -- Benay N, Bainbridge Island, WA, 7/23/2011
