The act
Melodic pop rock gives The Hit Slingers a particular flavour, with a repertoire drawing on the seventies through to the nineties. You will find Coldplay and REM among their influences in the song choices, alongside Australian acts including Dragon and Hoodoo Gurus. Based in Manly, this party band puts dancing at the centre of the performance, which gives you a clear starting point when considering your wedding music. For a couple drawn to those melodic rock records, the moment to hear them would be when the reception formalities give way to a stretch of time together on the dance floor.

Good to know
What to expect
The setlist is a hunt through the 70s, 80s and 90s for songs you loved once and stopped thinking about. Not the same handful every covers band reaches for. When one of them starts up, the reaction in the room is usually somebody turning to a mate and saying they had forgotten this one existed, and then heading for the dance floor anyway. That is the whole point of the band. It is built to get people up and keep them there, not to be admired from a table.
