Feedback
- These guys are unbelievable. Everyone at the party was talking about how amazing they were! From the actual performance to their personalities to their professionalism. I would definitely hire them again. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a great band!
They definitely MADE the party! No one could stop talking about them and everyone wants to know if we can use them again!! -- Valerie S, West Caldwell, NJ, 5/27/2007
- 5 terrific guys who can really play, and who were a great pleasure to have as guests in our home for our fundraiser. They are extremely accommodating and personable, and the music was exactly right for our guests. Highly recommended! Thanks. -- Kenneth E, Fairfield, CT, 3/15/2008
- Metrotang were really excellent. The event was an outdoor garden party in New York city for approx 120 people. Metrotang arrived early and set up in a most professional manner. Their manager, Carolyn, was there also to make sure everything went smoothly.
The music was perfect for the setting and they were very friendly and accomodation. Well done. We would definitely recommend them and look forward to having them play for us again.
I apologise for the late feedback but I was traveling but feel they deserve a very high ranking in feedback from us.
best regards
