"I can't recommend Atomic Groove highly enough! Coordinating a
corporate party for 700+ people on the USS Midway has its challenges and working with Atomic Groove made it
so much easier. Carrie is
highly professional and
organized, from the weeks prior to the event to the night of, both on and off stage. The band was
FANTASTIC. If you want a high-energy, dance-your-butt-off, get-the-crowd- pumping band, then
this is the band for you! Atomic Groove plays a
great mix of music that will appeal to any audience. I went
with Carrie’s recommendation of adding some AG Extras to The Core Band- four AG Fly Girlz and an awesome female percussionist- and this 10 piece band
Rocked. AG absolutely
made the event for us. We had a huge e-mail response from our attending guests and all mentioned
the band as a stand out. Thank you, Carrie and Team AG for the making our
event!"

"Saw your concert tonite at Del Mar Powerhouse Park Twilight Concert Series. You guys just
keep getting even better with every show! The energy is
special and the entertainment value is
irresistible. In the early years I was
impressed but not WOWED like I have become. It's been fun to be a fan and follow you over the years. I have seen your show
become more and more
popular....tonight the topic of conversation during your show was that 'we have never seen so many old people dancing like teenagers.' Even I couldn't resist... you
all are very talented and I wish you continued success!"

"The party was a great
success, highly due to Atomic Groove, as I knew it would! We really
appreciate your support! Btw, it's really
amazing how Atomic Groove manages to pull off Bill Withers AND Adele AND super
vivacious dance music throughout the nite, all played at the right time. It was
so nice having you be a part of the Launch Party of our facility,
loved having those very fit Fly Girlz, too!"

"Thanks again for another a rockin' performance at the Gala! The
dance floor was packed from the first song and stayed that way during the extra long, non-stop set you did for us! It was overall a
very successful fundraising event. We really
appreciate working with you. It was so
great having Atomic Groove back again!"

"Great performance (as usual)!!!! We have heard
nothing but great comments on our event, and it's mostly because of Atomic Groove! In the past we've had other bands perform for our events that have a similar playlist to Atomic Groove, but
no one gets a dance floor going like you guys- you know how to
read the crowd and put out the right kind of energy to
inspire people to get on the dance floor, every time... you guys are
the best!"

show. You guys were awesome! Everyone had such a good time and I have never seen
so many people on the dance

great to work with over the last few months. It was truly a
pleasure. I’d
recommend Atomic Groove to anyone!"

"You made the day of the wedding
beyond our wildest dreams! And all of the extra attention you gave us leading up to the day, too, all of the
extra help and work throughout the months! The
rave reviews continue to come in from both sides of the family… Lacey (the bride) said ‘Mom, it was like a
storybook!’ Thank you, Atomic Groove!"

"“I just have to say that last night
could not have gone any
better. We have had an incredible amount of positive
feedback. I really feel that your
fan base just took a huge jump up! All we heard all night was how much
everyone loved your band, your energy and of course the beautiful Fly Girlz… We were all blown away at what a workout that was in an hour and fifteen minutes....and a bonus costume change by you guys, too! You really
know how to get the energy going and keep it going. Pretty sure some of the usual non-dancers in the crowd were even groovin' out on the dance floor. At this point, we are hopeful that
we exceeded our fundraising goals for the event and it would not have been possible without The Belly Up,
Atomic Groove and
Venice.…Thank you so much for entertaining all of our friends and families for this very special event!"

"Many, many thanks to you and your band for such an
amazing performance at our wedding! We knew we picked the
right band when, by the second song, all of our guests were out on the dance floor. It was
exactly what we hoped for! And it’s always a good sign when the lights come on and all the guests are still on the dance floor! I’ve gotten so many
wonderful compliments about your band and
how much fun people had dancing. I know some of our guests have since checked you out at Belly Up. We’ll definitely be there soon
too!"
