"Thanks for such a
great job at our 4th Annual Surf Stomp Fundraiser...everyone
raved about Atomic Groove for days after the event. I received emails and calls saying 'Great Party' and
'Great Band'! I’ll be seeing you for
another event in 2008- had to book you immediately after having this event be such a
success! Thanks, Atomic Groove!"

"Time after time, you
prove that you are, by far, the
best band around!
Great music,
amazing performance,
incredible talent and an
unbelievable energy that is so contagious that
everyone in the place is rockin’, no matter what the event is! Having hired Atomic Groove
multiple times over the years, every occasion, every performance, is always
top-notch and never fails to exceed our
expectations. Thank you for making my 40th, my children’s school fundraisers, my neighborhood parties and my husband’s 40th
so much fun and always so successful! Regardless of the size of the band, whether as the smaller Core Band or any sort of variation of Atomic Groove PLUS+, the phone
always rings off the hook for days with
praise for the
fabulous band! You are
truly amazing. I
recommend you to anyone who wants their event to
rise above the rest! I can’t wait for the next one!!" |

"This is the third
year in a row we had Atomic
Groove play at our corporate
event. Our customers fly in
from all over to attend our 4-day conference, and the dinner and dancing
reception we hold is always the highlight
of the conference. Atomic
Groove never lets us down
– they keep the party
going until the very end
with everyone on the dance
floor wanting more – even
after the lights go down!" |

"WOW! You guys
really did it for us... have only gotten
great feedback on the event and a lot is due to
Atomic Groove. The expanded group
(AG PLUS+) with the additional lead vocalist, the sax/vocalist and the two very perky dancers
made the event. The
energy was infectious and kept our group going and going. The feedback's been
incredible! Thank you so much for your
flexibility with our schedule that nite... never had so much
fun dancing...you guys were the
highlight of the night!" |

"Thank you for an
outstanding performance! You made our fundraiser the talk of the school! You never cease to
amaze me with your energy,
personality and ability to
mold to the theme of the party! Your
professionalism and flexibility in the pre-party arrangement phase is also to be
commended! The whole process was a breeze! The night of the event, we
couldn’t stop dancing…! Everyone had an absolute
BLAST and it turned a typical school fundraiser into a
rockin’ party! I can’t imagine a better
party band. I am a
fan for life! Will
certainly hire you for future events…..first choice hands down!
Thank you for a GREAT and
memorable time!"

"Carrie Weiland and Atomic Groove were the
perfect choice for my son's Bar
Mitzvah celebration. They provided the perfect party
atmosphere. My son had the night of his
life, and every teen enjoyed one of their first "live band"
experiences. The teens stayed in front of the band all night long, my son was on the stage
dancing with the band all night long, and the adults never
left the dance
floor. It is a night our family will never
forget!" |

"Our votes are in and all of Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Inaugral Spring Gala Fundraiser attendees agree... Atomic Groove is
by far San Diego's
Best Local
Band! The dinner music and dance set you provided
exceeded our
expectations
in every way... we really
appreciated the special James Bond Theme Music you performed especially for our
event and the showmanship of "The Bond Girls"
(Carrie and The AG Fly Girlz, Elease & Jessica) themselves! The
professionalism and musical
talents of all the band members helped to make our event a resounding success!" |
