Your run sheet is complicated enough.

We’ll deal with the music bit.


Corporate events are rarely “band starts at 8:30 and everything runs perfectly”. Speeches run long. Awards move. Dinner comes out late. Someone needs another five minutes. Fine.

We’ve played enough functions to know the music has to fit the event, not the other way around.

Guests dancing while HOT DAMN! performs at a live event

Background first. Bangers later.

Need something smaller while people arrive, have a drink or sit down for dinner? We can start with a duo or smaller setup, then bring in the full band when it is actually time to party. Or just book the band. Tell us what the event looks like and we’ll quote what makes sense.

We keep music running between sets, work around speeches, awards and the venue, and check the important timings when we arrive because run sheets have a habit of changing once real people get involved.

Want sax? Easy. Want to go bigger with a horn section? Also easy. Need an MC as well? Ask us. The idea is one less entertainment-related thing for the organiser to babysit.

Where do you need us?

HOT DAMN! is based in Newcastle and works across the Hunter Valley, Central Coast, Sydney and broader NSW — and further if the gig makes sense. Send Jake the date, venue and rough shape of the event and he’ll come back with availability and a quote.
