If you're looking for a wedding band, look no further. Seriously. From the moment we walked into our reception people were commenting on how awesome the music was. Notorious is a high-energy and talented group who will keep the party rocking with a great mix of old and new. Our wedding guests danced for hours as did we, and we're loving seeing all the photos of people grinning and dancing the night away. Would absolutely hire them for an event again. read more

We've hired Notorious the past six years for Fur Ball, our annual young professional fundraiser at the SF Zoo, and it is the best decision we ever made! If you want to throw an incredibly fun party where every guest feels like dancing, look no further. They literally make the event every year and are one of the primary keys to its success. The band is made up of some of the most talented musicians and vocalists in San Francisco and can play ANYTHING. On top of that, they are an absolute pleasure to do business with and I look forward to working with their amazing team every year. Thank you Notorious and the entire crew at Jay Siegan Presents- it wouldn't be Fur Ball without you! read more

Notorious does indeed rock! My wife and I hired Notorious for our wedding in Napa this past May and were incredibly happy with their deep song catalogue, energetic performance and overall professionalism. So many wedding guests complained of sore feet the next day from dancing too much! It's now been over two months since our wedding, and we're still getting compliments on the band. We had some general reservations about current songs that we were worried might be too poppy or well known but tricky to emulate songs like Prince's Purple Rain. Notorious far and exceeded any expectations. We would go see them in concert! We would highly recommend them for any sort of engagement! read more

Notorious is a fun, energetic band. Bringing along some great oldie, but goody tunes. As well as new more recent top 40 songs. Giving you every excuse to dance, sing & have some fun out with friends. Great for a wedding, holiday party, or work event. And they have some good dance moves too! Go check them at at a venue near you. read more

"Notorious", certainly does more than just "Rocks". I am owner of a major event and entertainment firm here in San Francisco and retained the ever so amazing Notorious band for the 2012 San Francisco Ballet Gala at SF City Hall. It was an amazing event and Notorious provided all the post ballet opening night dancing, dancing, more dancing and entertainment at the Post Performance Gala in the North Light Court. The band had fantastic / low stage volume (hard to do), appropriate room volume with great sound quality (thanks John!) and a rock-solid stage performance that rivaled any of the top cover and cooperate bands in the USA. To top it off the band members couldn't have been more charming, fun and just downright nice. Good people they are to say the least. The entire experience from their management and great band support staff made it so much easier for me as producer. If you need a great gala band, society event band, party band, wedding band, New Years Eve headliner or support act, look no further. Notorious Rocks!

This band is off the charts great! They nailed every song and I could not stop dancing.....I was taken to a place by their music where I danced 'like no one was watching'. Our expectations were low because of the venue but they brought the house down and played the great tunes like they were their own. I especially applaud the male singers!! I will follow them anywhere as my night of dancing was so surreal. Thank you Notorious!! read more

My (now) wife and I had Notorious play at our wedding in Sonoma this September and they were phenomenal! We are huge music fans and couldn't bear the thought of a stodgy band playing cruddy pop covers... Have no fear-- Notorious brought the house down with impressive and rockin' renditions of our favorite 80's and 90's hits. Kate wailed on the mic, and it was obvious that the band were talented musicians who could hold their own at any SF club. Our guests couldn't stop raving about them! Do yourselves a favor and book these guys. read more

Notorious is by far our favorite band in the city! Not only are they extremely talented on stage but everyone on their team is sweet and professional. They bring so much energy and enjoyment to every wedding, you will always find people on the dance floor! read more

Notorious TOTALLY rocks!! The band brought down the house at our wedding this past Labor Day and had our guests dancing from the moment they took the stage! I have to say too - we saw about 7 bands before we chose Notorious - and they were totally the right choice for us! What was most impressive was that they seemed to be able to read our guests, and respond to the types of songs that kept them really energized. A month later, I keep hearing from people how amazing the band was, and how they couldn't believe how fast the dancing flew by. No one wanted to stop! They also were willing to learn new songs for us (including our first dance) and were generally just a pleasure to work with. We also hired Eli to play guitar during our ceremony and cocktail hour - and he was also amazing. Other than picking the processional and recessional songs, we asked him just to make sure our guests had fun - and his song choices were perfect for the feel we wanted! One other thing that I wanted to also acknowledge was how responsive and easy the band was to work with! Even in the last few weeks, they made it so easy to coordinate, and the management company was super responsive to any questions I had. read more

Notorious played our wedding and were absolutely fantastic. They have a dressed up look that fit in well with our black tie event. Their wide-ranging song list is packed with crowd pleasers for both our parents as well as our younger cousins. They have both a male and female vocalist so they can cover pretty much any song well. They read the crowd perfectly and transitioned to more recent songs when our guests from our parents' generation started thinning out of the dance floor. Even so, they kept the dance floor packed and energized all the way until the last song at 11:30pm. In addition to being a wonderful band, they were quite flexible and easy to work with. They were willing to do a recording of the 1st dance song in advance so that we were able to practice with their rendition. They also learned two songs that were special to us but not on their playlist. Nearly every guest came to us later and told us how much they enjoyed the band. We have a few musically inclined guests, including one jazz pianist as well as a drummer in a local rock band, and they all mentioned how impressed they were with the musical skill of the band, and that they were "tight". Before picking Notorious, we watched all of the local wedding bands play at nearby venues, and we picked Notorious because of their music, their energy, and their ability to keep the dance floor moving. They delivered. In summary, Notorious is the best in the area and at the top of their game. They are easy to work with and massively exceeded all of our expectations. Book them early - they are in high demand. read more

I highly recommend the band Notorious. They are fun and very energetic. They play a little bit of every kind of music from Rock n Roll, Pop, todays new music and even a little country. read more

Notorious was seriously amazing at a New Years Eve wedding I was coordinating. Having a live band really takes a wedding reception to a whole new level and having THIS band really set the standards through the roof for any future bands I hear. I HIGHLY recommend them for any wedding or event. I couldn't believe the range of music they could play; everything from Robin Thicke's blurred lines and LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem to The Police's Every Little Thing She Does is Magic. This band made everyone's night, the only thing that would've made the guests happier is if they never stopped playing! Seriously awesome band. read more

Notorious was amazing! They were great to work with, and helped make our event a success. The variety of music they played was perfect for our crowd and the dance floor was packed all night! read more

Notorious just played our holiday party this past Friday, and they were great! The band is SUPER energetic and really helped to get those wall flowers onto the dance floor. The musicians (and singers) are all really talented, and the band had a contagious camaraderie - it is clear they have been together for a while. I'd definitely recommend them for a wedding, corporate party, or just about any time you really want to get the party started. You won't be disappointed. read more

Notorious made our wedding. We have been married for 7 months and people are STILL talking about them! We knew the younger people were likely to dance but we didn't anticipate our ENTIRE wedding would get out on the dance floor but thanks to Notorious, that's what happened! We didn't even have enough space for everyone that wanted to dance to their awesome music. They got everyone on their feet and put on such a fun show with their incredible talent. Additionally, they were great to work with! Eli was so fantastic and we hired him to play during our ceremony as well and he was perfect. He learned a few new songs and even collaborated with my friend who we asked to sing during our ceremony. I think one of my favorite things though was weeks later, going through our wedding guest book (we did a polaroid wedding book), we saw that the whole band took a pick and wrote us a message. What a fun memory for us! I seriously recommend Notorious for your next event and have already encouraged a friend to use them for their upcoming wedding this summer. Notorious rocks!!! read more

Notorious played at our wedding in June in Big Sur, California, and made the reception. They were fabulous and kept everyone on their dancing feet for 3+ hours straight. They are very talented musicians and entertainers, adaptable to personal music preferences and great at reading the audience. Cant recommend them enough, fabulous band and worth every penny. You will not be disappointed. read more

We hired this band for our wedding at the University Club in San Francisco on the 18th of July. We had some interesting requests for them. I asked them if they could learn to play some Scottish Country Folk music for ceilidh dancing! They were absolutely tremendous, their timing and professionalism are second to none- it felt like I was back in the home land (they should certainly add this skill list to their website)! Everyone at the wedding (over 100 people) were commenting (and still are) how much fun they had rocking to that band! Their covers were tremendous, and the first dance a cover from the Zac Brown Band- "what ever it is"- sounded like it was the Zac Brown band playing! I strongly, indeed very strongly, recommend this band- they will add soul and life to any party!!! Everyone was certainly dancing at our wedding! Thank you for an excellent evening! I will always remember it and thank you for being so accommodating! My wife and I are sad the festivities are over! Kind regards Mark read more

Notorious absolutely made our wedding a party this past weekend at Jacuzzi Family Vineyards in Sonoma! They brought down the house, took requests and just made sure everyone was having a great time! They read the crowd so well and kept everyone on their feet for two hours straight! My husband and I couldn't have danced more or enjoyed ourselves more and Notorious had SO much to do with that. They also seemed like they were having a blast which was so fun to watch! I would HIGHLY recommend Notorious for any and all events, but especially weddings! read more

If you are looking to hire a band for a wedding, or really any event, look no further. We hired Notorious to play at our wedding and they were amazing! We wanted a band with high energy, good vocals, and a fun song list. Notorious did not disappoint! They were easy to work with and even learned the father/daughter and mother/son dance songs. They had all our guests on the dance floor dancing even the guests that I never would have expected. We still have guests telling us how amazing our band was. Notorious truly rocks! read more

Notorious played at our 80s themed birthday party. They were the best!!! The band truly made the party. Our guests were on their feet dancing the entire time - from the first song to the last. Their 80s playlist was awesome and deep - they did 100% 80s songs at our request (even though they have a much broader and more varied playlist for non-80s themed parties) and every song worked. All of our guests have been talking about how great the band was. The only complaint we heard was that our friends were sore from dancing so much!! And they were so nice, and so much fun to work with. We honestly couldn't have been happier. Thanks so much Notorious for making our party the best ever! read more
