The floor feels invited rather than instructed when Busta Groove Australia settles into funk, R&B and pop with dancing as the whole purpose. The Melbourne band works from the seventies to current music, drawing on Michael Jackson, Earth, Wind and Fire, Whitney Houston, Usher, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift. Gonna Make You Sweat is their most requested song, which says plenty about the kind of wedding reception they want to create. A two or three person acoustic set can warm the room earlier in the day before the main band takes over. Watch or listen here if a celebration rooted in groove and shared movement sounds like yours.

Five players, and the thing they're chasing all night is a full dance floor. Melbourne's Busta Groove Australia lean on funk and old school RnB, tight harmonies over a rhythm section that knows exactly what it's doing. It works at a wedding, at a corporate night, at a festival. What changes is the pacing, not the commitment. And they've got a knack for reading when a room is ready to be pushed and when it wants a minute to breathe.
Backline comes with the band, and for corporate work they can bring the full sound and lighting rig as well. Performance area needs to be flat and stable, at least four metres across and three and a half deep. If a stage suits your venue better, that can be organised to fit. Power on hand is the only other essential.
Gonna Make You Sweat by C+C Music Factory gets asked for more than anything else, and it's usually the one people are waiting on. Around it the band works the 70s forward: Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind and Fire, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston and TLC through to Usher, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Rihanna, Anastacia, Bruno Mars and Taylor Swift. Funk, old school RnB and pop are the backbone. Other genres can be worked up if your night calls for them, and special requests are welcome with notice.
Five piece is the main offering, but they also strip back. A two piece or three piece acoustic set works nicely as a warm up earlier in the day, or for the next-day recovery party when nobody wants to be shouted at. Both of those can sit inside the same booking as the band.
