How long have you been together?
We performed our first show under the Grüv Funktion name on June 22, 2007 and haven't looked back since, keeping continuously busy with numerous shows and events each and every month. This project was established to bring the best musicians and entertainers in the area together, drawing on collective experience from similar projects to create a new and improved party band that is second to none on all levels.
Can we see a live show before we book you?
We look forward to having you come see us play live and meeting you in person - definitely something that we are happy to arrange before you proceed with booking us. This sometimes presents a bit of a challenge in that most of our events tend to be private (weddings, corporate parties, etc.), however, let us know if you are interested in seeing a show as part of your decision making process and we will either arrange for you to attend a private event as a guest, or we will organize a public showcase at a local club or restaurant that is convenient for you.
Can you provide music during ceremonies or dinner?
Absolutely. Although our specialty is the energetic dance party, our professional musicians can provide musical entertainment across a variety of styles and we are often asked to provide background music (jazz, latin, acoustic contemporary, etc.) for cocktail hours, quiet dinners, or even within wedding ceremonies.
How much do you charge?
We base our pricing primarily around 2 main factors: the specifics (size / type / location) of the event you are running, and the size of the group that we bring in. Our standard configuration is the 6 piece (bass, drums, guitar, keys & 2 singers), which allows us to cover the full range of repertoire we promote on this website and is also the team that is featured on our demo tracks. Unlike our competitors we do not charge by the hour, we do not require you to feed us, and we will never complain if things go longer or shorter than expected. We absolutely offer the best price for value received across any bands of the same caliber in the region.
There is significant flexibility in our various packaging and pricing options, so please contact us and we'll be happy to work with you to choose the right configuration based on the style and budget of your event.
What would the band typically wear?
If not directed otherwise, our internal style guideline is simply "dress / funky". To us this means classy but also cool - what we would wear for a night out dancing. We are completely flexible with attire though. It's your event and we are happy to follow your direction if you have something specific in mind. We've done events in everything from beachwear (very casual) to black suit and tie, so just let us know.
Do you take song requests?
Sure, we are happy to accommodate specific song requests for your venue or event. You may have noticed the ever-expanding repertoire list posted here on this website - many new songs being added almost weekly based on current trends and hits, and also as we continue to get special requests for weddings and parties that we are involved in.
We encourage you to tell us which songs from our repertoire you want us to play (or not play!) for your event, and we are willing to prepare a reasonable number of new songs (i.e. songs not in our current repertoire list) before the effort starts to warrant additional cost. But, this is negotiable and we are happy to work with you on an arrangement that ensures the musical style and tone of your event are exactly what you are looking for.
