Britpop Reunion offer Bandeoke live band karaoke for weddings, birthdays, corporate events and parties, and it is every bit as much fun as it sounds. You pick a song you love, walk up to the mic and sing it with a real live band behind you instead of a backing track. Some people search for it as bandaoke, rockaoke or band karaoke, but it all means the same thing: your five minutes in front of the crowd. Contact band leader Andy to check on fee and availability.
Bandeoke Live Band Karaoke With A 90s Twist
Most live band karaoke acts lean on whatever is in the charts this month. We do things a little differently. Britpop Reunion have been playing together since 2014 and our whole world is 90s and Britpop, so the songs on offer are the ones that a room full of grown-ups can already sing word for word. That is the secret to a good bandeoke night. Nobody needs to worry about not knowing the tune, because the chorus of half these songs is practically stitched into your memory.
It also means the volunteers tend to come out of the woodwork faster than you would expect. Once the first brave guest has belted out a big chorus, the queue for the mic usually forms all by itself.
Why Live Band Karaoke Beats The Machine
Standard karaoke has its charms, but a screen and a backing track can only do so much. With Britpop bandeoke and live band karaoke you get real guitars, bass and drums behind you, and the band follows you rather than the other way round. If you go flat, we cover you. If you want to hold the last note for far too long, we will happily wait. Nervous singers get a proper safety net and confident ones get a proper stage, which is a rare combination.
Songs You Can Sing With The Band
You are not limited to a handful of tracks. Guests can choose from our 90s tribute band repertoire, and here are a few that tend to go down brilliantly with a microphone in hand:
- Wonderwall by Oasis for the classic arms-around-shoulders singalong
- Common People by Pulp if you fancy a bit of drama
- Tubthumping by Chumbawamba because everybody knows the words
- All The Small Things by Blink 182 for the pop punk fans
- Zombie by The Cranberries for anyone brave enough to attempt that big wail
- Dance The Night Away by The Mavericks for a proper party moment
- Baby One More Time by Britney Spears in a guitar-heavy rock version
There are plenty more where those came from, from our 90s Bandeoke songs including Blur and Cast to Alanis Morissette and The Verve.
Who Is Britpop Bandeoke Good For?
Pretty much anyone who likes a party with a bit of audience participation. The confident lot get the spotlight they have been waiting for all night, and the quieter guests are just as welcome to sit back and cheer. It suits mixed age groups particularly well, because the 90s songbook is familiar to guests from their twenties right up to their sixties.
Wedding Reception 90s Bandeoke And Wedding Party Fun
A wedding reception is one of the best places for bandeoke. Your friends and family get to be part of the entertainment instead of just watching it, and the videos that come out of it tend to get shared for years afterwards. If you are looking for a 90s wedding band or a Britpop wedding band, we can build the evening around the songs you love, then invite your wedding party and guests up to take a turn at the mic.
You can have as much or as little of the karaoke element as you like. Some couples want a full evening of guests singing, while others prefer a few special moments dropped into a normal live set. It is your wedding, so we will shape it however suits you best.
Corporate, Birthday And Private Party Bandeoke
Live band karaoke is a fantastic ice breaker for work events, because nothing gets colleagues talking like watching the finance guru perform Wonderwall. Our corporate entertainment band page has more on how we work at company nights and celebrations. It also works beautifully at milestone parties, and we regularly play as a 90s birthday party band, a 40th birthday party band and a 50th birthday party band. If you are planning something smaller at home or in a hall, take a look at our private party band and charity event entertainment band pages too.
More Than Just Karaoke, A Proper 90s Party Band
One thing worth knowing is that bandeoke does not have to be the whole night. We are a full 90s party band as well, so we can play our own set of Britpop and 90s hits and dip in and out of guest singers as the evening goes on. If you would like to know more about what to expect, our what you get page explains it, and you can see us in action on the video and audio page. Happy customers have also left their thoughts on the testimonials page.
