"Oh you guys are just the sweetest two people I've ever met!" |
Psst. Hey cuteface. Here's some Q&A's so you can get to know us better:
What's your favourite wedding style?
Intimate. Colourful. Delightfully weird. Non-traditional. Unweddings. Anti-weddings. Rockstar weddings. Couples that don't give a $*#& and do things their way.
Any music you don't play?
Totally. We don't do reggae, funk, irish music, farnham, pub rock, top 40, bono. You're welcome.
Do you travel for elopements / destination weddings?
Yes! We are folk nomads. Our vintage caravan gets us to weddings through country victoria, south australia, new south wales, queensland, and northern territory. We love islands, deserts, caves, isolated beaches and interesting landscapes.
Best place in the world?
Kangaroo Island, South Australia.
Who are your people?
We absolutely adore couples who own who they are and wear their kookiness on their sleeves. They tend to be misfits, nerds, rebels, punks, fringe-dwellers, the uncool. Sometimes they have beards and tattoos and crazy bright hair. Sometimes they're grumpy and quiet and that's equally awesome.
Do you support marriage equality?
You bet your buns.
Describe the good life.
On the road 'round Australia in our van Myrtle, homemade mexican food, ukulele beach picnics, drinkin' great wine.
Is it weird asking yourselves questions and answering them?
Yeah, but how else are you going to get to know us? Guess we could get together, have a drink, sing some songs... Maybe we should go on a date. Are we being too forward? Eh. That's how we roll.
Best tip to navigate the sea of average wedding crap?
Trust your vendors. Once you find a good quirky, alternative vendor you love, ask them who they recommend. They've seen it all and they'll only align themselves with other legends.
And wedding music advice?
Pick your special songs from your own music collection and/or your awesome band's song list. Avoid generic internet wedding music lists like the plague. They suck so bad.
How did you become a wedding band?
That's a great question. We answer it in detail in our article why we joined the dark side.

Folks said some nice things about us.
Dan & Sar -
Melbourne, VIC
"Fidel and Sarah told us straight up that they don't do 'mainstream' weddings, which was perfect for us... they played a great range of music with their own personal spin, which pleased all of our friends and family and ensured the dance floor was never empty. We could not thank them enough for making our night so special." |
Anna & Russ -
Perth, WA
"Sarah's voice was absolute perfection. I couldn't have asked for more. It had the softness and the soul and the rawness I was hoping for, and it made the moment so so special for me and Russ" |
