Besides recently filming a national commercial for Comcast, they regularly fill nightclubs across the U.S. and play many of the highest-level private parties including a Jessica Simpson birthday bash (July 2005) and another event at The White House (January 2006).

The partial DVD on the link below features the Los Angeles band. They are ALL excellent, with the Los Angeles and San Francisco versions having--in our opinion--the most talented lead vocalists. As a "formula band", each version plays from the exact same 70s and 80s high energy song list and gives the same high quality 3-hour show. Contact DLE to request their full DVD.
