Intrigue

 

 

 

Many moons ago, we left the night club circuit and traded in our leopard skin jumpsuits for tuxes and evening gowns. Behold: a wedding band was born.

Today, of course we are a stompin' six piece band.
Our fellow band members were picked from among Boston's finest musicians. It's swingin'. It's rockin'. Tons o' fun!

INTRIGUE has performed at over a thousand wedding receptions. We're experienced pros who know what to do. 

Every band has it's own personality, and you'll want to find the one that fits best with your vision of the party you're planning. In a nutshell, Intrigue is a solid, great sounding, hard working, musically accurate six piece dance band with really great vocals. We've done tons of weddings, and we know what to do to get your guests on the dance floor.

Things Your Parents Will Want To Know (especially if they're paying).

Volume, volume, volume. We're talking about loudness here. We are extremely concerned about this. We keep it down during dinner so your guests can talk to each other. Afterwards, we bring it up for dancing. No problem.

Intrigue takes two breaks at a party. The first is when the main course is served to your guests. While everyone eats, we play cool and groovy CD's on our sound system. Our second break comes later, but before the last hour of your party. Meanwhile, we play DJ-style dance CD's to keep the dancing going. We give ourselves about 20 minutes for each break.

Before the party starts, when we load in and set up our sound gear, we dress neatly--your guests won't see a bunch of slobs wearing sneakers and jeans. During your reception, Betsy wears formal evening wear, and the guys wear tuxedos.

We've been told we have a very "classy" presentation.  We like to think of ourselves as seasoned professionals that enjoy what we do.  Or, more accurately, a bunch of over-grown kids that can't believe we get paid to play music.  Whoohoo!

We usually book a party for a standard four hour time period. If you think the party needs more dancing, we are available for overtime. This can be arranged as needed, usually by the half hour, and usually on the spot.

Our songlist is extensive, and you'll probably find that we know the songs you want for your special dances (like the first dance, last dance, and dances with parents). If you have a song that you'd like for one of these special dances, and we don't know it, we'll learn it for you, or, if you prefer, we can play the CD by the original artist.

Speaking of music, we don't specialize in any one kind. We can't. Our typical audience is all over the board in ages and tastes. So we play lots of different stuff. Our number one goal, though, is to see people dance, so we play music that gets a crowd on its feet.

We encourage you to see and hear Intrigue. We play nightclubs once in a while (check our Schedule link page), or you can sometimes visit a reception where we are performing. Dress as if you were a guest (jacket and tie, nice dress), and watch from the door or hallway. Just come during the last two hours of the party and be discreet. Some function facilities do not allow visitors, so it may not be possible to see us at certain places. Check with us first.
