Krisis are a live cover band, with a warm and outgoing lead singer, a competent lead guitarist, a funky bass player and a solid energetic drummer. The band provide a complete TRULY live performance tailored to your audience. There are no backing tracks, DAT Tapes, or any other kind of recorded drums, bass or vocals which many other band/groups rely on for their (semi live) sound. We keep it live 100% of the time!

The band has performed at a whole manner of events, from birthday parties and anniversaries, right through to company Christmas celebrations and AGM’s. Most of the functions Krisis has entertained at, have made use of the full package the band has to offer. Covering the whole event’s entertainment, from live music to the after show disco we’re able to incorporate a unique, fantastic, multi purpose lightshow.

The Band’s Equipment

Sound System
Krisis own all of their PA system, and is it serviced and tested on a regular basis to ensure its reliability. With a total power of 3.6Kw, the system is suitable for venues of up to 500 people. Should the requirement arise for a larger setup, Krisis has a good working relationship with a local hire company who can supply a system for anything from 500 to 20,000 people. So whatever your requirements, we’ve got it covered.

Lighting System
The lightshow adds that extra dimension to Krisis’s performance, and keeps guests interested and involved. Whether their up on the dance floor or enjoying the music from the comfort of their seats, the band has mixed modern computer controlled lighting devices, with classic 90’s disco effects to bring an interesting mix of stage settings for both the band, disco and venue. Please browse the photos below to get a feel for some of moods the lighting can create.

The Disco
The disco can be scheduled for any time during the night, and also fills the gaps while Krisis take a short break. A good collection of pre sequenced CDs, and individual tracks of classic and modern songs are brought to the event. The lighting rig mentioned above is switched to disco mood where all the effects and lighting move off the stage and out to the dance floor to create a great atmosphere for those enjoying the music.

Website Photo System
With the increasing numbers of good quality camera phones, Krisis have invested in a custom system that allows all of your guests to forward their taken photos by Bluetooth to our receiver onstage. The photos are then published on the bands website (www.Krisis-Online.co.uk) and can be viewed and downloaded by your guests. A full copy of all the photos can also be emailed / posted to the organisers should they request them. This is a unique system that has gone down a storm with all our clients, pubs, parties and weddings alike.

FAQ

What venues are best for a band?
Village halls are an all time favourite for a host of events. They usually offer a large stage for the band to rig their equipment and light show on, a bar for all your beverages requirements and a kitchen to satisfy the catering. Marquees are another good venue for functions with bands, but there are the obvious power requirements, and nuisance noise rules to consider. Krisis have played professionally rigged outdoor events in the past, but the band will only consider this option if sufficient power, weather and sound issues are suitably addressed and the band deem the stage safe to perform on.

Whatever the venue, remember the band will always come across their best when performing on a raised platform / stage, and careful planning of guest numbers compared to room size, always helps the atmosphere of the event…don’t book a venue too big for the amount of people attending!

What time should be allowed for the band to set up before guests start arriving?

Depending on the quantity of equipment required, and the size of the area available for us to rig the light show, the band can take up to 2 hours to setup, test and adjust the show to the particular venue. Usually the initial sound check can be done within the first hour, and rigging of the lightshow can be done while guests start to arrive (dependant on access from the bands vehicles to the stage. It is not desirable to have the band and guests sharing the same entrance in this instance). Time and details can be finalised when booking.

How long will Krisis be playing for?
The band usually performs 2 x 45 minute sets, but the second set usually runs longer with encores, to about an hour. If booked with the disco, we will entertain during the times between and after, depending on how the organisers schedule the event.
