PRICING:

Our pricing is based on the number of people attending the event, the location, the length of time requested and whether the event is indoor or outdoor among other factors. We strive to give clients the best price possible and still make it worth our while, all factors considered.

Bear in mind, when a client hires a band, they are paying not only for the actual music, but also for the travel time, travel expense to and from the event, and the labor for setup and tear-down.

As with anything, you get what you pay for . . .

With that in mind, our fees are negotiable. We are willing to work with you. Our quotes are based on what we normally charge for specific types of events. However, if a client has budgetary constraints or gets a better offer please get back with us ALWAYS and we’ll see what we can work out.

SOUND:

THE FUNK MONSTERS is a 100% self-contained "all-live" band meaning we provide our own sound and all equipment needed to perform. We can provide sound from backyard parties to arena sized events and everything in between. For larger venues, we have a number of affordable sound companies we work with to make sure the entire event is covered and the sound is exemplary. While many bands rely on image to get by, making sound secondary, with The FUNK MONSTERS it's the opposite. SOUND is the most important factor to us! After all, if the band sounds terrible, no amount of costuming, lip-synching or on-stage antics will make it any better, just more embarrassing.

For out-of-state events that require us to fly, it is necessary to for the client to provide a back-line. A back-line, in our case, consists: Full drum set, a bass amp, guitar amp, keyboard amp and a complete PA system with minimum three monitors and five mikes and in some cases a sound-man.

Most equipment can be rented locally for a lot cheaper than many people might think. Bear in mind however, the better quality of equipment, the better we sound.

LIGHTING:

Many clients ask about lighting and special effects. Lighting is essential if a client really wants to create a club or concert atmosphere for their event. We have and rent lighting and can get stage lights, disco balls, club lights, fog machines, sirens, etc. Because we work with a number of local music stores we get special deals.  We have the essentials for smaller venues that we furnish for a Min. fee. 

MISSION STATEMENT:

Our mission as a band is to provide the best entertainment in as a professional manner as possible, and to make sure all event attendees have a safe, enjoyable and memorable time. We hear horror stories frequently from clients that have hired bands in the past that have experienced all kinds of problems that are frankly unbelievable to us as full-time professional musicians. It is simply the difference between rank amateurs and dedicated professionals.

Our goal is to be invisible and ultra-professional as far as the business aspect goes on the day of the event. Clients book us to have a good time and be entertained, not to baby-sit the band. The majority of our business comes from referrals and repeat customers that have been booking us for years.
