Sinatra over dinner, then Uptown Funk and Mr Brightside once the plates are cleared, and nothing in between that your guests can't sing. Anthems only play songs that were genuine hits, sixties to now, and they'll pull the guest of honour up to sing if they're game. Early it's Fly Me To The Moon, Moondance, That's Amore and Can't Take My Eyes Off You; later, Seven Nation Army, Get Lucky, Sex On Fire and Cake By The Ocean. More than a decade of touring the world sits behind the members, royalty and stadiums included, which is a lot of history to bring to a wedding. Add saxophone, extra singers or brass, and open with a cocktail set or two for a gentler start. Brisbane based; hear them when the speeches end and the room starts singing.

Good to know
What to expect
The show is built around the crowd, not the stage. They'll involve your guests, work the room, and if the guest of honour is feeling brave they'll be up singing a couple with the band. No filler and nothing obscure gets a look in: every song is one the room recognises. It's light-hearted and funny, and the musicianship behind the jokes is seriously good.
On the day
Everything the band needs to run a full live show can come with them. Their fee assumes the venue has an in-house sound system they'd prefer the band used. If it doesn't, sound and lighting can be added to the quote, so mention it when you first get in touch. They don't require a stage, though any band works better with one, and 12 feet by 8 feet is the minimum performance area they'd like. More space is always welcome. A stage can also be added to the quote if the venue has none.
Set List
Early in the night it's dinner music, jazz and swing, which means a stack of Sinatra with Fly Me To The Moon, Come Fly With Me, New York, New York, That's Life, Mack The Knife and Moon River, plus Sway, Home and Save The Last Dance For Me from Michael Buble, Moondance, That's Amore, Strangers In The Night, It Had To Be You, Mr Bojangles, Somewhere Over The Rainbow and Can't Take My Eyes Off You. Later the set turns into pure hits: Mr Brightside, Seven Nation Army, Uptown Funk, Sex On Fire, Get Lucky, Chelsea Dagger, Cake By The Ocean, Drops Of Jupiter, Just The Way You Are, Treasure, The Lazy Song and I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.
Performance options
Almost every part of the booking is adjustable. Extra band members can be added, saxophone, extra singers, a brass section. They normally arrive at 6pm and will come earlier if your guests need them set up sooner. And the night can be played two ways: straight through as a dance floor band, or opening with a cocktail set or two for a more relaxed start. Whatever shape you need, it's worth asking.
