Wedding Bands

Hello there. Thanks for stopping by. You most likely are asking yourself "OK, you and all the other bands say the same thing...you all say you are 'THE BEST'. (Its kind of like a 'participation trophy' in kids soccer') What makes THE TRIP so stinkin' special?"

Fair enough question. Here is why:

1. We have the most positive reviews and booked gigs.
Evidenced by our proven 100% positive '5 Star' track record, we eliminate the risk of having a failed event. THE TRIP is the MOST BOOKED cover band in Southern California. We've played 1000s of events since 2000. Our clients satisfaction is paramount to this success and its reflected in our 100% positive reviews which can be seen at tripband.com.

2. Our videos and pictures were all captured LIVE.
You should ALWAYS see a band LIVE before you make your final decision. Our photos and videos were all taken at our events. We didn't shoot a video on a rooftop or in a studio with a fake dance floor. Our photos and videos are all just us and our clients having FUN.

3. We are a REAL band not (AN AGENCY).
You'll have no worries knowing that through the entire process from your initial quote to the last song you will be talking with a TRIP band member. We are not a part of a booking agency. We are a real live band. You wont get one of several look alike bands in white shirts and black ties, you get THE TRIP.

Now, on to the details....

MORE ROCK, LESS SHLOCK! You and your guests will be entertained by a high energy, genuine rock band that takes you on a fun-filled musical journey through the 60's, 70's, 80's, and 90's … as well as today's Top 40 and rock hits. We're one of the most popular booked bands in California and on Gigmasters, have won multiple “Top Rock Cover Band” awards, and were voted best cover band by CBS. We have entertained some pretty famous clients. While performing at his daughter's wedding, we were joined onstage by no other than rock legend Michael Anthony from Van Halen and Chickenfoot. We've also had the honor of being joined by country superstar Toby Keith at his “OK Kids Korral” benefit concert, and Stephen Stills from Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young sat in with us at his Bel Air event.

But enough of that—we'll let our clients do the talking for us. Please read the 100+ unedited testimonials to see rave reviews from so many happy brides, grooms, event planners, and party goers.
