Sirens' Gate Party Band Calgary's foremost party band covers both contemporary and time-tested favorites

Stage for a 5pc. band including drum backline - preferably on a riser if available. Space is typically around 20 - 25' wide x 12-18' deep.
Capacity for 2 to 4 standard AC power outlets.

How early can we gain access to do stage setup prior to event?
What is the latest opportunity time prior to gig that we can perform a sound check in the room? For example a wedding reception that begins at 5PM may not have music until 9PM, but sound check would still need to be completed in the afternoon before dinner.
What about loading out - any restrictions, or freedoms (next morning access for example?)
Does the venue have rules around fog machines or misters?

Limited sound PA and minimal lighting is included in our base rate - enough to handle any smaller, more intimate venue - larger rooms / groups that require more gear and production techs will be reflected in the price.

We can arrange for background house music from a streaming device. Special playlist preferences must be arranged in advance and may represent an additional charge - but this is negotiable at the time of contract agreement.

The best gigs are always the ones where people engage with us. We aren't a "background music" kind of band - we want people bouncing on the dance floor and jumping on stage to help sing along with us. That tends to happen to us A LOT! ;)

New Year's parties are great gigs - everyone wants to dance all night and nobody ever comes with the intention of leaving early! That's our kind of vibe!

Individually the band members of Sirens' Gate have all had years of experience performing in other acts. Some were original music bands, some were vanity projects - but we came together with a few years of wisdom as seasoned pros sharing the same musical philosophical sensibility. LET'S JUST BE THE BEST COVER BAND - because we all agree that we have the most fun when we are playing what people know and love to hear!

nope - that's a loaded question!

coming soon... but not just yet ;) - in the meantime though, hit us up with your smaller venue show and we can recommend some great and talented friends or other alternatives!

Stage is usually setup several hours in advance - example, 2PM for a 9PM curtain. We like to be on site at least 90 minutes prior to kick-off do a nice early sound check. A typical evening consists of 3 sets, around 65 mins. each - and includes 2 breaks between sets of around 20 minutes. Just enough time for a stretch, a washroom break, and a short vocal rest for the musicians.

This is not an issue but we ask for an event tent or some sort of overhead shelter. We also need a dry, level surface for our equipment and performers, and of course access to nearby power for our gear.

Private clients can request 1 to 2 special song choices in advance (we will learn your wedding song for example, if given enough notice). We don't do a by-request show on site - but we also don't mind anyone asking. We have all played for a number of years and even though it may not be current in our repertoire, there is a chance we may just be able to pull a rabbit out of the hat for you!

There are many testimonials on our website to read for yourself - but the attributes most commonly repeated are:
great mix of songs, something for everyone, so much talent, had us dancing and singing along all night.
