Meet Chris Reed & Matt Samuels..
also known as.. the Mix Tape Brothers. They are an Acoustic Duo based in Auckland, NZ. Chris plays Acoustic Guitar & sings lead, while Matt plays Drums and sings back up. Mix Tape Brothers differ from other Covers Bands in a number of ways.. first of all, they are a Duo. Adding an interesting Acoustic twist to all music that they perform.
They play there gigs "straight through" with NO BREAKS!
Where as standard bands will play 3 x 40 min sets to cover 3 x hours of the evening.. the Mix Tape Brothers will play for the entire 3 x hours.. NON-STOP. They can literally have you dancing All Night Long! But don't worry.. if your guests need bit of quiet / downtime, the Mix Tape Brothers can change the pace from upbeat dance floor music from today, to ballads, slow dance & everything in-between. All seamlessly blended together.. like a "Mix Tape".. hence the name. Start & finish times are negotiable, but 2, 3, 4 x hour packages are standard.
Yes, they do requests!
Even on the night as people are dancing, the Mix Tape Brothers have been known to change things up in order to play a request on the spot, or to sing someone that special song. From a first dance at a Wedding, to your favourite jam from the 80's that you'd forgotten about.. Mix Tape Brothers pride themselves in the broad and varied styles & genres of the songs they play. For more info, see SONGLIST.
Although Mix Tape Brothers are exclusively an Acoustic Duo, there are also 3 piece band, 4 piece band & even DJ options as well. Some events want something bigger, so thats when bass players, keyboards, & even lead guitarists can be easily added to the line up to provide a Full Noise Experience. Please CONTACT for more details, rates & availability.
