SpaceCat made our wedding unforgettable. From the very start, working with Christian was an absolute breeze. The planning process was seamless, professional, and stress-free, which made everything leading up to the big day so much easier. Christian responded quickly to emails and jumped on a quick call when needed. On the day of our wedding, they completely blew us and our guests away. They had the dance floor packed the entire night with their high-energy performances. Our guests are still raving about the music. SpaceCat also handled the emceeing duties perfectly, keeping the evening flowing smoothly. A highlight we’ll never forget: guests from the wedding next door actually came over to our party because the music was so good. If you're looking for a wedding band that will elevate your celebration, get everyone dancing, and leave a lasting impression, we highly recommend SpaceCat!

SpaceCat is the PERFECT band for any event! We had them perform at our wedding and they blew us away. The band itself is extremely talented and you can tell how well they can read the crowd to know exactly what the vibe is. They definitely play to the room and know how to keep the party going!
Working with the band, they were completely professional and super organized. From our first meeting, they made sure they knew the timeline of our special day so that all the intros/transitions were handled on the day of and we didn't have to worry about a thing! They also went above and beyond and learned additional songs for our first dance and dad/daughter as well as mom/son dances. These were such special moments and for them to perform them live made it all the better.
At the reception they engaged the crowd throughout the performance and had an excellent mix of music from wedding classics to contemporary hits. They pumped up our guests by encouraging participation and made us feel like celebrities out on the dance floor!
At the end of the night and the days that followed, so many of our guests complemented the band and said how that was the best part of the reception.
Our wedding would not have been the same without SpaceCat!

We can't say enough wonderful things about SpaceCat! Christian and his team were so helpful from the beginning planning out our day. From the ceremony, to the cocktail hour, to MCing, to the dance floor. They even learned a few songs we requested for us and they were done perfectly. They were so fun and engaging with the crowd! All of our guests were absolutely raving about them in the coming days and how much fun they were to listen and dance to and we couldn't agree more! Thank you so, so much SpaceCat for making our day so special!

If you’re searching for a wedding band that will make your celebration truly unforgettable, SpaceCat is the one to book!
Working with Christian was an absolute pleasure. His communication leading up to the wedding was clear and efficient which made the planning process smooth and stress-free.
The energy SpaceCat brought to the night was nothing short of electric, keeping everyone on the dance floor all night long. It was clear that no one wanted the night to end—the consensus from our guests was that “one more song” wouldn't be enough to satisfy their desire for more —everyone was completely immersed in the music and didn’t want the night to end, us included!!
SpaceCat’s performance truly elevated our celebration, and we couldn’t be happier with our choice. If you're looking for a band to deliver an unforgettable performance, look no further than SpaceCat!

We had the absolute best experience with SpaceCat! From the planning stages to ease of payments (and willingness to split up payments), to the party itself. We love this band and can't wait to hear them again!
The band worked with us to learn songs that were special to us and it made our night so unique. They were able to set up before the party started and we used their speaker services during cocktail hour/dinner.
The band is huge - so many talented artists and musicians and incredible range of vocals. People have not stopped telling us how much fun they had at our wedding. Our dance floor was full the whole night and at the end of the night, the encore was in such high demand, we paid to keep them on another hour!
Please, don't hesitate when booking with them! We love you, Spacecat!

From Chris' surprise musical performance, to the cops watching and enjoying the show by the end of the night...your wedding will go down among all others as one to remember for sure!!

BOOK THIS BAND BEFORE IT’S TOO LATE!
My wife and I had SpaceCat perform at our July 2024 wedding, and they were absolutely AMAZING. The coordination with Christian before the event was seamless, and the band was well prepared to make the day a success. We went with the upgraded brass option; it was well worth the investment, but if not, you can’t go wrong with Mr. Sax-man and the rest of the crew. From the live quartet during happy hour, through the emcee duties during dinner, to learning and performing our first dance perfectly, and keeping the party going all night long, we didn’t have a single complaint. After the wedding, our guests couldn’t stop talking about how awesome the band was and how it completely made the night, and we couldn’t agree more. We will definitely be seeking out any opportunity we can to see them again, even if it means crashing another wedding to do it!

Christian Darga met with us to plan the whole day and he was so organized. When it came to the day of, my husband spontaneously joined the band on stage and it was incredible!! Everyone at our wedding had the time of their life, and including SpaceCat in our wedding day as our music vendor was hands-down the best decision we made. The musicians are fantastic and I highly recommend SpaceCat to all newly engaged couples planning their wedding.

Wow, what a blast having SpaceCat perform at our wedding! They brought amazing energy and had our guests - of all ages - on the dance floor all evening. Even weeks after the wedding, we still receive comments about how much everyone loved the band. We chose SpaceCat because of their versatility. They sound great playing Top 40s, oldies, Motown, and everything in between with awesome male and female vocals. Plus, they provide MCing to help the night run smoothly. We were thrilled that SpaceCat also ended up being a professional and easy vendor to work with. Leading up to the reception, Christian was very organized and lead us through the run of show to make sure that they got even the smallest details correct (name pronunciations, order of events, music genres, etc.). They were happy to play any song we wanted for our first dance, father-daughter and mother-son dances (one of which was a first time request for them!) and they performed to perfection! They also set up separate playlists for our cocktail hour and for the end of the evening, and played live piano during dinner. Overall we could not have been happier with our choice to book SpaceCat and they will surely be our recommendation for any couple looking for a wedding band in the future.

The SpaceCat's were awesome! They did a perfect Emcee for the Reception; the sound-system was excellent and their guidance kept everything moving right along.
Then, the music was perfect for dancing; their crowd interaction was fun and engaging. We were impressed with the size of the band: sax, keyboard, drums, base, guitar, and lead singers (male and female) that lent to a great variety of music options. We would definitely book them again!

SpaceCat was the most AMAZING band and made our wedding unforgettable. We got countless comments telling us how great the band was and they kept the party going all night.
They were also so easy to work with leading up to the wedding. Christian was very professional, had multiple check in meetings with us to make sure everything was lined up for the big day. They also have a great list of songs to choose from. They suggest you choose a handful (around 10) songs, and then leave the rest up to them to gauge the energy of the crowd the day of. They were also able to fulfill our special request of having my brother sing our first dance song, being backed up by the band, and they worked seamlessly with us to make that happen.
I can't recommend this band enough, both for the quality of their performance and for the ease of working with them leading up to the day o the wedding.

Our wedding guests were absolutely blown away by SpaceCat. I would say that they were the highlight of the night! The energy that they brought along with the ability to engage with everyone in the crowd really made the night. Getting a band was a must for us and SpaceCat confirmed exactly why. We could not have asked for a better performance. In addition, they were great with communication, setup and breakdown. Everything was to our exact specifications on the day of and they kept in contact with us all through the night to ensure things were to our standards. We had an outdoor ceremony and they perfectly set up the sound system for both the ceremony and the reception that took place inside. Nothing else to say other than SpaceCat rocks!

Our reception was so memorable and fun because of SpaceCat! They exceeded all of our expectations and absolutely killed it. I can’t tell you how many people came up to me after our wedding just to say how phenomenal the band was and I couldn’t agree more. Christian was so easy to work with throughout the entire process and very professional. One of my favorite hints about working with SpaceCat was how they tailored their stylist to what our guests were responding to. They saw what got people on the dance floor and went with it. My guests were floored by Christian’s rapping and absolutely loved it. The energy they gave off was so positive and fun and we could all feel it. I really cannot say enough wonderful things about this band. Going with SpaceCat is the easiest decision you can make. Honestly just trust them, go with their recommendations and if you do, you will have one of the most memorable receptions you can ever imagine.

Our wedding has been over for several months, and the first thing people say to us is not, hi, how are you? How have you been? It's verbatim, "HEY, OMG, YOUR WEDDING BAND WAS SERIOUSLY THE BEST BAND EVER. WHERE DID YOU FIND THEM? THEY WERE SO GOOD! BUT REALLY WHERE ARE THEY FROM?" And I am not even exaggerating…
Talk about fantastic customer service…
This made a significant impression on us because meeting all of them in
person showed us that we weren't just another bride and groom the band would
sign for. We are so grateful we decided to go ahead with Spacecats because we knew we were confident they would tailor our special day based on the conversations/meetings we had together. And that is precisely what it was. SpaceCats, we thank you for
not giving the same performance as every other wedding and making our evening just what we wanted and more.
One of our favorite things about working with SpaceCats
was their consideration and receptiveness to our shared playlist. We could not
be more thankful and appreciative of how smoothly everything went. On multiple occasions, Christian had asked us to gather a list of
songs and share whatever we'd like with the team for the band to play. He did a
tremendous job in getting the message across to us that whatever we gave him
would be played during the reception before anything else the band enjoyed or
suggested for a wedding reception. It was appreciated and recognizable that he/they
did not push us towards any genre of music. We truly appreciated that, as we
had various clientele at our wedding. We want to give you and the gang props
for comprehending/knowing what to play for what type of event, but it was also so
fun to dance to.
Not only was the music list precisely what we had hoped
for, but the way Christian executed the entire wedding was incredible. Keeping
a wedding party of 32 in order and orchestrating the remainder of the reception
with a group photo, speeches, dances, and bride and groom requests was
remarkable. He outdid himself and knows how to run an event you don't want to
end. Everything was organized and felt in place according to his timeline. He
indeed went above and beyond and ensured that everything was noticed.
Christian, we cannot thank you enough for all your
meetings and phone calls with us. You always answered our questions. You were
so incredibly thorough in every single aspect of this whole process. You are so
detail-oriented, and you thought of everything. Another thing about working
with you was how you did a few callbacks to ensure you pronounced each name
correctly. (And you nailed all 32 of them!) Along with following up a second
and third time the week before to make sure there wasn't anything else you
missed.
Christian and the gang put on one of the best
entertainment nights we have seen, with a wedding party of 32 and a guest list of
almost 400. They got the crowd involved (my husband might have a singing career
with them – at least for the song SHOUT!) just with the energy they had. But the vocals on everyone in that group kept the dance floor going until the venue lights turned on. Not only did they sound better throughout the night, but their energy grew even more significant with all of us. It indeed was an evening that we will never forget.
SpaceCats, you surpassed every single expectation we had
by a mile. We can't thank you enough for giving us some of the greatest memories we've had and will ever have.

SpaceCat was one of the best and least stressful vendors we booked for our wedding hands down! Months later we still have guests raving about how good the music was all night! SpaceCat played piano for our ceremony, a jazz quartet for cocktail hour, and the entire band for the reception. They learned every single special song we had, even the lesser-known ones, and each was executed perfectly by the band! Every member of the band was so interactive and high energy, they had the dance floor packed all night! They even surprised me with my husband joining them on the drums for a song!! I have had so many guests tell me it was the best band (and saxophone player!) they’ve ever heard at a wedding. They were so easy to work with and communication was thorough throughout the entire process. If you want a packed dance floor and music your guests won’t stop talking about, SpaceCat is your band!

SpaceCat was AWESOME!!! Throughout the planning process, Christian was super organized and willing to answer any questions we had. SpaceCat did live piano during the ceremony, a live quartet during cocktail hour, and of course played at the reception. The pianist did an amazing job at the ceremony and the live quartet really elevated cocktail hour. But the reception is where they really brought the heat... they were so high energy and fun! We received SO many compliments from guests about how great the band was. If you're looking for a lively dance floor and a good time, hire SpaceCat!

Booking SpaceCat was, hands down, the best decision we made in our wedding planning process. We weren’t able to see them perform before the big day, but we went with them based on a recommendation from a friend of a friend, and boy were we happy we did. Their YouTube videos, if anything, understate how incredibly talented they are. Ashley’s voice, oh my god! Such high energy, such joy. On top of being top-notch performers, they were very easy to work with. Christian was organized, professional, and reassuring. All night, our guests kept coming up to us to rave about how phenomenal the band was, and the texts we are getting in the days afterward confirm that the band was a highlight for everyone involved. Wish I could give them ten stars.

When we were thinking about getting a band for the wedding, it was important that the music was awesome. Looking at SpaceCat's incredible reviews and even watching them perform live once at a nearby park, ensured us that they would be the perfect fit for our wedding. Christian was super helpful through the whole planning process and went above and beyond to make it as easy as possible for us. When the day came, SpaceCat totally killed it! Our guests are still raving weeks later about how much fun they had and how great the music was. We would recommend SpaceCat 1000x to anyone looking for an unforgettable night.

Christian was incredibly easy to work with pre wedding day. But the day of the wedding couldn’t went better! Spacecat was the life of the party and people couldn’t resist getting on the dance floor. It’s been a month since the wedding day and every time I see a guest they make sure to mention how awesome the band was.

Its hard to put our feelings into words to accurately review this group without sounding like a mega fan. My wife and I have seen this band 4 times before our wedding. Each show has been an amazing experience. No matter the size of the crowd, this group knows how to get everyone up on their feet! They can handle a large variety of music that keeps everyone moving. We cannot recommend this band enough!! They help with timeline management and all of the goals needed to be met for the pre-wedding process. Christian and his team have a great sound and are the band for any special occasion!

The best band ever! We even went to see them at local events afterwards. A friend of ours dropped their band they had and booked them after our wedding. they learned our wedding songs, gave advice and played great songs for our crowd! In addition they all seemed like super great humble artists! Strongly recommend

Christian and his team went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. During the planning phase his communication was amazing. Always helping us with the next steps, things we needed to complete and our timeline for our special day. He would communicate with the venue and other vendors to provide the best customer service possible. I felt confident that SpaceCat would keep the reception running smoothly and that we could all enjoy ourselves - which we did!
Our big day was absolutely perfect! SpaceCat had the dance floor packed all night, they even got my husband to sing! The party wouldn't have been complete without them. Also if your questioning adding the saxophone to your package - definitely do it!
Can't say enough about this band! 5 stars hands down!

Thanks Brittany for the glowing words! We are so happy you enjoyed working with us through...

And - yourself and everyone will be happy to know that since we booked your wedding a while back...our sax player Charles has indeed joined the band FULL time! So future couples won't have to worry about whether or not to add a performer to the lineup...his awesomeness has made that decision for them already!! 😀 Cheers! ~SpaceCat

Working with SpaceCat was one of the best decisions that I made when planning our wedding day. These guys are AMAZING, from start to finish they just blew us all away over and over again. From the planning stage Christian was thoughtful, organized, and it was clear there was so much experience he brought to the table. I felt very confident going into my wedding that it would flow beautifully. They went above and beyond, learning multiple songs for our special day and managing the audio for a quite complicated ceremony without a single hitch. They were SO FUN and brought so much positive energy and excitement to our day. I can't tell you how many of our guests said that our band was one of the best they had ever experienced and it set the tone for our night. Their communication and follow through was just impeccable, there really were a lot of details to keep track of and these guys didn't miss a beat. Most of all, we just felt SO celebrated and cherished by the energy and love they brought to help make our day unforgettable. I would absolutely recommend them to anyone else out there, they were a cornerstone of making our wedding the magical day we were hoping to create and worth the splurge 1000x over. I will never forget the memories they helped create with us. Thank you SpaceCat !!! You guys are the absolute BEST!

I love live bands at weddings, and my husband and I were lucky enough to snag SpaceCat for ours! Communication was so easy with this group, especially with Christian! They were friendly, easy-going, and most of all entertaining! We got a ton of compliments from guests at our wedding about SpaceCat and I kid you not I was on the dance floor the ENTIRE night! This band is a must, check them out!

They were truly amazing! We are still getting texts from friends about how much fun they had dancing at our wedding. We wanted our guests to dance the entire night and Christian made sure that happened. Each member went above and beyond the night of the wedding. They were easy to work with, we’re very organized and made the planning process so easy. They made it the best night of our lives. My wife and I could not have been happier.

My husband and I were about a day away from signing a dj for our wedding when we stumbled upon an AMAZING band while out to grab a drink. We loved them so much we put an inquiry in online right then and there and, despite our initial plans of going home after one drink, ended up staying through their entire set. Their ability to nail songs from ANY genre/era and the energy they bring is truly unmatched. On top of how talented SpaceCat is, they made the planning process easy and fun and were a pleasure to work with. Our wedding seriously would not have been the insanely amazing party it was without them. If you're wanting a packed dance floor and a party people will never forget, hire this band!!!!

Where do we start about our experience with the SpaceCat Band ??? To begin, it was the most professional, enjoyable and best experience of the entire wedding weekend. Remember you can't pick your family and you can't pick your neighbors but you can pick your band. The entire band was top notch and provided a family type atmosphere for us and all our guests.
Sound System--Top notch sound, lights, recorded music everything worked without any hiccups.
Prep--The attention to detail I must admit I thought was overkill but once the day came the realization hit me that SpaceCat has played "wedding before"! The emails/calls (not really that many) all confirmed a streamlined occasion with no stress for all.
Ceremony—Best part of the evening Christian and the band made everything as seamless and enjoyable -- more than anyone could have imagined.
We will be utilizing them for all of our future functions and highly recommend them to anyone planning a gathering requiring a totally professional music experience.

Christian Darga and the rest of the SpaceCat band members are AMAZING. Fantastic set list range. We originally heard them play at a friend's wedding 3 years ago and they ROCKED. Everyone was on their dance floor. We knew that we had to book SpaceCat at our eventual wedding. We booked SpaceCat before we even booked our venue! Christian will help you out with a fantastic planning form to take your reception or private event to the next level. Super responsive via email and text.
TRUST in their ability to put on a great performance. Share your Spotify playlists for your dinner, cocktail hour, and favorites and they'll take care of the rest. They WILL get people out of their seats and on the dance floor. I thought the older Asian in-laws were going to stay in their seats, the older crowd were on the floor more than the younger crowd! They are THAT good. The more leeway and freedom you give them with your music preferences, the better performance you will get!
After my boss heard them play at the reception and another time beforehand at Rochester Mills (pro tip: go to their website and find when they are going to play at a bar for a sneak peek!), she booked them for our Christmas Party for next year! Can't wait to hear SpaceCat again!

We fell in love with this band at a friend's wedding last summer. When we got engaged and started planning our wedding we knew we wanted this band for our special day! We cannot thank you all enough for making our day so incredibly perfect. It was such a fun party and we had so many compliments from all of our guests!
The band goes above and beyond for multiple reasons, they learned our special songs, their ability to read the room and play songs accordingly.
This band stood out from the very beginning during the planning months before the wedding. Christian was so easy to work with and really made this whole process great and made us feel so special! Christian gave prompt and detailed responses to all of our questions and concerns. Not only is he a great band leader, but Christian helped us form a timeline to make our day run smoothly. Choosing SpaceCat for our wedding band is something we would do all over again in a heartbeat!
If you are looking for an amazing band for your wedding, they are it! Book them! You won’t regret it! We cannot thank you guys enough for blowing our expectations out of this world!

We truly can't say enough about what a seamless and awesome experience we had with SpaceCat as our band for our wedding. They truly go above and beyond to make sure that everything is organized and communicated ahead of time (as well as throughout) and even lend their expertise in other ways (i.e. they got everyone to take a giant group photo on the dance floor mid-party - and now we get to have that candid moment in time encapsulated for the rest of our lives). I had stumbled upon SpaceCat online while looking for memorable entertainment and after viewing their YouTube videos (check out their medleys!), we knew they were extremely talented and reached out to them immediately. They were so responsive and we were so thrilled to have them on our side for our wedding - they're extremely professional and know how to not only get the party started, but keep it going. I can honestly say I still have guests reaching out to us to tell us how amazing they were and how much fun the evening was. It truly takes an army to throw an event like a wedding, but 100% you want SpaceCat on your team to make sure you have the best time once you’re there!

SpaceCat made our wedding night truly unforgettable! Christian and his band are top notch - lots of fun and truly so talented! From the very start, working with SpaceCat was a seamless process. Christian takes the time to really get to know you as a couple, which was very important to my husband and I, and is professional, communicative and organized. We wanted our dance floor to feel like one big party all night, and they truly delivered. SpaceCat went above and beyond for our wedding, and we are so happy we found them! I can't recommend them enough. Thank you, Christian and SpaceCat for making our wedding night so amazing!

Highlights:
- Learned our first dance song as well as two others for Mother/Son and Sister/Brother
- Professional, timely and nothing short of the best wedding entertainment I have seen
- Got everyone dancing with great song mash-ups and getting the crowd involved
The moment my wife and I saw Spacecat at a beer festival, we thought we wanted to hire them for an event eventually. Luckily we had the pleasure of hiring them for our wedding reception and they were nothing less than professional and the perfect wedding band for our day.
From the initial meetings with Christian to the last meeting the week of the event, we were more than convinced that this was the right band for us. They were also professional and helped to guide us through the process of selecting entrance music to make sure they got the correct pronunciation of our entire wedding party and family. You can definitely tell they play weddings for a living as they dressed the part for the event which was something I did not even think of until the day of but SpaceCat already knew.
Not only did SpaceCat learn our song for our first dance but also learned two other songs for Mother/Son and Brother/Sister dances and anyone who is familiar with live music will understand that these versions were more special and different than any DJ could have played.
SpaceCat made sure that not only was everyone on their feet while they were playing, but also were engaged in the music and in return the band fed off the energy from the crowd which turned into the best music experience I have had at a wedding.
Christian also made sure that once we got to the reception all of the timing was with him and he could control the night. Once I sat down at my reception, I really felt like our jobs for the day had finished and I could sit back and relax or get up and dance to the music. Even our photographer was saying how much she enjoyed the band keeping to the time schedule we had gotten while planning the event.
Everyone who attended my wedding has asked about the band and I can only hope that SpaceCat continues to have success so I can see them more at events like beer festivals and friends' weddings.

There was a great mix of classics to present day music. Everyone in the band is incredibly talented but we definitely loved the saxophone!

We had the great fortune of having Space Cat perform at our recent wedding. We cannot express enough how fantastic of a job the band did from start to finish along the wedding process. Christian was extraordinarily helpful and friendly in his communication leading up to the day of the event, working diligently to address our wants/needs and providing fantastic insight into the many details (venue specifics, timing of the speeches, etc.) that go into a wedding reception (we would have been lost without his guidance!) all while maintaining absolute professionalism.
The top-tier service they provided in helping us plan for the reception was only outshined by how amazing of a performance they put on! The music was fantastic and they truly drove the momentum and excitement we had celebrating throughout the evening. Overall the past several weeks, nearly all of the compliments we have received about our wedding from our guests have centered around how unbelievable the music and dancing was. We will never be able to thank Christian and the rest of Space Cat's members enough for such a perfect wedding reception!

I do not even know where to start— everything about Space Cat was amazing! Our wedding reception was the most fun I’ve ever had thanks to their performance. Our guests are still raving months later about how great the band was and how much fun they had dancing. I knew from the beginning of our planning process that a live band was one of my planning priorities, and I stumbled upon Space Cat on The Knot. From the moment I first talked with Christian, I knew Space Cat would be a great fit for the party I was envisioning, and the band exceeded all our expectations. Their range is absolutely amazing, they were so interactive with our guests, and each song was better than the last. We truly cannot recommend them enough!

SpaceCat was INCREDIBLE and wildly exceeded our already high expectations. Christian was remarkably easy to work with, responsive to our requests, and accommodating of some special needs we had (working with another band that did certain religious elements of our reception). The band also fielded requests (unbeknownst to us) from one of our fathers and a member of our bridal party. They even learned a few new songs for our reception.
Most importantly, the band just had such great energy and fantastic musical ability. They got the crowd revved up but did so in a non-cheesy way, which sometimes happens with wedding bands. One of our guests said, "I feel like I'm at a concert - not a wedding." Another guest (who teaches music!) said the band was exceptionally skilled. Everything was just amazing - we couldn't have asked for any more.
Don't even think about it - just go and hire SpaceCat before someone else books them.

SpaceCat was one of the major highlights of our wedding reception. The quality of the music and energy on stage kept the dance floor poppin' the entire night. There were a few surprises for our guests, including my wife singing with them for two songs!
As a group they are a lot of fun but what I did not expect was the extent of preparations they went through the months prior to our wedding date. With their extensive experience in performing at wedding receptions, they were able to help us prepare for ours! The suggestions and guidance provided was very valuable and much appreciated.
If you are looking for an exciting, all-around great experience at an event then I highly recommend you contact SpaceCat. You will not be disappointed!

We wanted to send a special thank you to Christian and all the folks from SpaceCat. They were the absolute best wedding band we could have imagined for our special day. From the first time we heard SpaceCat and their lively set in a venue in Rochester, we knew we wanted them to play at our wedding and they definitely exceeded all of our expectations. Not only was the band the talk of the reception for many of our guests, but the hands-on approach Christian took to the planning and logistics coordination prior to the wedding day helped to minimize our stress level and allowed us to pivot to other last minute changes (which are unfortunately par for the course for a wedding during Covid). The way SpaceCat involved the crowd and kept everyone energized is a rarity at weddings that we have not really seen before. Folks were dancing up a storm all night and it was tremendous fun and we cannot say enough good things about the whole band.
Thanks again to SpaceCat for a truly memorable event!!
