This page contains answers to Off The Wall's most Frequently Asked Questions...
Q: How much do you cost to hire you?
A: There are several factors which determine the cost of hiring Off The Wall, including: size of the event, type of event, distance from Auckland, and if extra costs such as lighting and staging are involved. Feel free to email us at offthewallband@hotmail.co.nz with details about your event and we'll get back to you straight away with a quote.
Q: How long are your sets and how long do you normally play for?
A: We've noticed that a lot of bands play short sets which causes people to stop dancing. Off The Wall prefers to keep people on the dance floor for as long as possible. We've even been known to play for 2.5 hours without a break! Normally we'll play for 3-4 hours with one break in the middle. For an extra fee, we're happy to play for longer.
Q: How far in advance to we need to book you?
A: Normally 3 months in advance is sufficient, although we've played many gigs at short notice. If you have an emergency and urgently need a great covers band, email us at offthewallband@hotmail.co.nz or phone 021711689 to see if we're available!
Q: Can we choose specific songs off your songlist for our event?
A: Of course! We currently have over 120 songs on our list, and we normally play 40-50 during a gig. Feel free to choose your favourite songs from our songlist and we'll make sure to include them in the set.
