Here's a demo video we just did last weekend.

Couldn't get folks to agree on a name, so I'm using the name of an old band since I already have the domain name, business cards, banner, etc. until we can get the name straightened out. The name we're using thus far is King Comfy.

Fun web site! Lots of great music and entertaining prose. A few thoughts on your band/website.

Checked out your videos. The horns could possibly do some choreographed dancing to add to the "show". The drummer might takes some ques from: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RXLPveilqo8 Your bass player really brings it. Excellent rhythm/lead guitar player! You might consider a wireless headphone type mic/wireless guitar so you can get around the stage a bit.

For the bios, you may want to put a few breaks/indents in the text to make it easier on the eyes.

For the home page, I took a shot at rewriting it to open it up a bit and highlight some of the things your band does. Maybe you might consider some of the following ideas:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Hey! Thanks for visiting our website.

King Comfy is NOT your typical cover band. We play your favorite Funk, Swing and Ska tunes with a Rockin’ Punk Attitude! And we keep the dance floor filled!

We are a Washington DC area musical entertainment factory complete with a pressure-tight rhythm section including a bass that will keep your booty shakin’, bawdy horns that will ring your bell, and a cool guitarist that will swing you into a dizzying trance!

We don't just play music, we put on a show!

We don't just do covers, we own them!


We cover hits from bands such as:
·Tower of Power
·Sly and the Family Stone
·The Mighty Mighty Bosstones
·Reel Big Fish
·Fishbone
·Smash Mouth
·Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
·Cherry Poppin Daddies
·Brian Setzer and more….
·including putting our own spin on your favorite Top 40 hits.
For our clients who enjoy more specific genres and differing musical tastes we offer:
  • Arena Rock tribute with vocal phenom Michael Perry
  • 3-piece Alternative Rock show
  • Classic Punk tribute
  • A blast of an acoustic show

Check out the rest of our website and give us a call when you need not just music but also entertaining band to make your next event a successful one!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good luck with your band. It looks like a lot of fun and that you're having a great time.
