I just want to say I was
BLOWN AWAY by the show on Saturday night at The Synergy. I was so
impressed with everything. I know you put a lot of work into it and
it really paid off. The music, the dancers, Melody, the videos, the
costumes - I could go on and on. Thanks for such a wonderful time.
You should all be very proud. You really scored a home run! |

I
saw you for the first time New Year's Eve on Navy Pier...it was
mucho fun. You guys gave it your all and put on a phenomenal show. I
thought it was great that everyone who played guitar left-handed was
actually a lefty. I'll definitely be checking out more of your shows
in the future. In the meantime, keep on rockin' and having fun up
there on stage.

I just wanted
to write and thank you for the great show you put out at Geneva's
Festival of the Vine. This was the third time I saw you perform and
it was the first full show I saw. So for the first time, I got to
see you perform for an audience that really appreciated your music.
You can tell by the way they danced and sang along. I think
everybody there had a great time. It was great to see you come back
to Geneva.

I've
seen 3 of your shows and you're awesome; you don't sound just like
the actual bands, you add your own style and I like that—thanks!!

Heard
you in Zion and had to hear you again in Waukegan at Scoop the Loop.
Your band is one of the best around, especially since you play so
many of the 60's tunes that I rarely hear even on the radio. You do
a great job with all of them, especially "For Your Love"
and "Born to be Wild"; but they are all done well! THANKS!

This
is the first time we heard you. You guys are fantastic!!!! We listen
to these songs all the time at home. It's rare to find a band that
can play the songs you do so well. We thoroughly enjoyed the show.
Look forward to seeing you again. Thanks for a great time.

Just
to let you know that I enjoyed your show immensely. I am 45 and
started to listen to WLS/WCFL in 1969. One of my favorite records
are two double sets that feature the British Invasion of the mid
60's. You folks played many of them! My favorite from your concert
"I love you" by the Zombies. Hadn't heard that one in
ages!!!!!! I will definitely try to see another one of your shows!

Really
enjoyed your performance last night [at the Hammond Cruise Night].
Every song you played was a hit back in my childhood days. It was a
great trip down memory lane. The music was just awesome. Just like
the original artists. Although Magic Carpet ride never phased me
before, after hearing your performance, its like the song came
alive. That had to be my favorite. Look forward to hearing you again
and will be rounding up a crowd to come to Sidelines in Lansing as
soon as I see the date. Thanks for a very enjoyable evening.

We
all had a GAS at Burning Sensations last Friday. You sounded tighter
than ever! Thanks again for "Red Rubber Ball" and
"Carrie Anne"—I'm sure Sir Paul will be impressed!
Thanks for everything!

Hey,
I stopped and listened to you guys at the Sox game!! I heard
"Kicks" and it sounded pretty good. Then you did "A
World Without Love". Not bad.... Then "She's not
there" I have been looking for a good 60's band to go see and
you're it!!

I
was at your concert last night at the Perry Farm. I just wanted to
drop a note telling you guys what a great band you have!! I was in a
band back in the late 60's and we played a lot of the stuff you guys
did last night. It brought back a lot of good memories. You guys
sounded great, looked great and put on a really good show. You are a
really tight band. Love the music.

Hey!
It's about time the Equity Offices people put a band out there at
lunch that knows what they're doing. I am so entirely sick of
hearing Reggae music while out on my lunch break. I could hear you
guys from two blocks away, and I thought, man, these guys are good,
I'm going to check them out. I was able to catch your last two
Stepping Wolf (sp?) songs. You guys are great, you had the drum part
down perfectly on "Born to be Wild". In a word, you guys
are unbe****inleavable. The uniforms are outstanding. I'm joining
your email list, and I'm going to check you guys out and bring my
wife and daughter. Remember, as Timothy Leary once said: "tune
in, turn on, drop out". Rock on!

We
had our first "New Invaders" experience tonight and we
loved it! John and Betty have been telling us for a long time that
we had to see this Band, and we finally got our chance. A really
great show, especially the Beatles' tunes. Look forward to seeing
you again.

I
saw you at the concert at the Towns Center at Carol Stream, IL. You
were quite good. I am not a true 60s fan, but a lot of my friends
are. I hope that maybe one of these days you'll think about getting out
of the state of Illinois and going on a US Tour. That would be quite
nifty.

We
have been enjoying your music. You're so true to the original
sounds, and the music you play brings back such good memories. The
new songs you've put together are great—each and every one of
them! The one called "I Caught You In a Lie" is a good one
to dance to, which we did at Rolling Lanes. Wonderful to see such a
big crowd out who were enjoying you so much! Thanks for all the hard
work you put into the music!
