This was a lovely community event produced by JJLA; Jared is Senior Producer. Good Cop Bad Cop thanks Jared and JJLA for having us.

Retirement Party•Reviewed on September 24, 2024•From Alhambra, CA
It was a pleasure working with Ken and his band. I was a little skeptical at first since we are a faith based senior living community BUT the residents and staff loved the music. There were 400 guests so it was no little event. I received some many compliments throughout the entire event and days later.
Good Cop Bad Cop was a hit! I will definitely be booking them for future events.
:
Well, there you go: Good Cop Bad Cop is even approved (with 5 stars) by a "faith based senior living community!" It's true, Good Cop Bad Cop has performed at over 1,000 events (151 through The Bash at the time of this writing), virtually all kinds because we have an extensive wide-variety song list, and a lot of experience.
I must add, Melissa, the entire Atherton staff and residents where a pleasure to work with and play for. Thank YOU, Melissa, and thank you, Atherton Baptist Homes.
Best of luck to Craig, Atherton CEO, guest of honor at this, his Retirement Party.

Wedding Reception•Reviewed on August 23, 2024•From Newhall, CA
They were great! Super sweet and easy to work with. Additionally, they were super fun and talented. We hired them to play at our wedding and we’re confident that was the right decision! Not only did we love them, but all of our guests loved them, too! 10/10 would recommend! If we ever have another event and we need to hire a band, we know who to call! Thank you Good Cop Bad Cop for making our wedding a night to remember!
:
This was a fun, rad wedding, perhaps the most fun and rad Good Cop Bad Cop has ever played. There's been no better client to work with than Teryn; she was exceptional in every good way, from beginning to end. I must give here "10/10" stars.

Private Party•Reviewed on July 6, 2024•From Marina del Rey, CA
Good Cop Bad Cop was great!
From the clear communication before the event to coming early and setting up to the actual performance which had my guests rocking amd dancing. Hired them for my 4th of July party and everybody loved them. Great, wide ranging catalogue. The Duo sounds like a full band with many instruments. Definite recommend. Will hire again for future parties.
:
Well, it was great working with Joel. Joel was very hospitable. He had a great bunch of friends and a very fine, rad house. We all had fun.
An attorney, I'm glad Joel appreciated my communication (as well as our music).
We look forward to more events for Joel. Thanks, Joel.
One clarification: Joel stated, "The duo sounds like a full band with many instruments." To be sure: We don't play to instrumental tracks, and we don't have many instruments, though the duo's sound is remarkably full and very high-quality. What you hear is excellent guitar and percussion playing, extraordinary singing and fine sound mixing. Everything is live- the guitar, percussion and vocals, and the sound quality surely rivals bands (and is a lot better than what many present).

Club Event•Reviewed on April 28, 2024•From Oxnard, CA
We booked the Duo for our winery and they were amazing! Great sound, music selection and very interactive with our guests.
:
Magnavino Cellars, Oxnard, CA, is a lovely winery with very hospitable owners and friendly patrons- and the Pinot noir (the only wine I had) is excellent. We really enjoyed playing for these folks and hope to return.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on February 7, 2024•From San Diego, CA
Amazing! Good Cop Bad Cop rocked my 28th birthday party in San Diego! They kept everyone entertained and dancing all night long. Their connection with the crowd was incredible, and they played the perfect songs to match our energy. If you want a band that knows how to make your event unforgettable, go with Good Cop Bad Cop! Your guests will thank you!
:
Kyler produces events, so he was very organized and disciplined producing his own party; as such, he was a pleasure- a pro to work with. Very nice people at his big house & yard b'day party on Mission Bay, San Diego. They hired us for two additional hours; it became a 5 hour gig. Thank you, Kyler.

Birthday Party (Kids)•Reviewed on January 8, 2024•From Manhattan Beach, CA
My son had the best 3rd birthday with a great band! GCBC were very easy to work with and quick to respond to any email/text. They accommodated all song requests. Our toddler loves music and they made his day! All the guests had a fantastic time. Best 3rd birthday ever!
:
Our first event of 2024, this was a double 3rd Birthday Party outdoors at Manhattan Beach Country Club- a fun party for a bunch of young parents and their young kids (some even unborn).
Roxana gave us 24 of 25 stars. If this were school, that would be grade of 96%, a "high A."
That said, for "overall satisfaction," she gave us 5 (of 5) stars; so, it appears she was, say, maximally satisfied, overall.

Corporate Function•Reviewed on December 3, 2023•From Santa Barbara, CA
We loved having Good Cop Bad Cop play at our corporate holiday party! They were super accommodating in working with our theme, very organized, and professional. One of my partners said, "If I closed my eyes, I thought I was at a Pearl Jam concert!" Would love to have them again. Thank you, Good Cop Bad Cop!
:
This was a holiday party for, of all things, an organization of anesthesiologists. About to begin our performance, I greeted them saying: "I understand you're a group of anesthesiologists. What I'd like to know is: Did you bring any?"
Very nice folks to work with and play for. Very friendly and hospitable, and they tipped (always appreciated). We hope to meet up with any or all of them again.
The venue, El Paseo Restaurant, Santa Barbara, is a very beautiful, mission-style building built in the 1800s!
Review by Kayla A.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on November 19, 2023•From Wildomar, CA
The band was amazing. The party was 80s theme and they nailed it! Everyone was impressed
:
As this was an '80s party, Good Cop Bad Cop played all '80s hits. However, GCBC has 14+ hours of hits from the past 7 decades- great variety for teens to seniors: Give us a group of guests/audience- We've got a great mix of songs for them (which, in part, is why we have a 5 star rating and Best of Awards last 8 (soon to be 9) years in a row).
We thank Kayla, husband Mitch and mother-in-law / mother, Kathy for their hospitality and tip, and for the 5 star review.
Nice family and friends, we hope to meet up again sometime.

These guys were awesome! Had us chanting GCBC by the end of the night. We will definitely be hiring them again in the future our guests had the best time and lots of dancing and singing a long. They stayed longer as a last minute request and were so easy to work with. They truly made the party! Thank you guys this is a memory that will last forever for my wife’s 40th birthday.

Very professional, great sound, and variety of music that was performed. A great band we will bring back for future performances!
:
Hot Rods & Handguns Social club is a beautiful and impressive place, so much so, I'm including their website URL here: https://hotrodsandhandguns.com/
In addition, Albert, Assistant Manager of Operations, and staff were professional- a pleasure to work with. Patrons were great too. Albert's given us a 5 star review (thanks, Albert). We do hope to perform at Hot Rods & Handguns again.

Jasmine, Good Cop Bad Cop thanks you for having us play for Brian's 38th Birthday Party. Thanks for your hospitality and tip. Thanks for being really excellent to work with. And, thanks for the great review!
Review by Sherri P.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 29, 2023•From San Pedro, CA
From my initial contact with Ken from Good Cop Bad Cop I knew that this was going to be a good experience. Ken was very professional and pleasant in his dealings with me. I hired both the duo and the band to play for our party. Both the duo and band were outstanding in their performances. Most, if not all of our guests commented on how much they were enjoying the music!
One thing I especially liked was that Good Cop Bad Cop had many videos posted on their website/YouTube so that I could review their performances before hiring them. Also, I was able to select the songs that I wanted performed. Their song list is extensive.
I highly recommend the duo and the band!
:
Good Cop Bad Cop thanks Sherri for her 5 star review, for having us play her husband's 60th Birthday and for her hospitality and tip. And, it was a pleasant surprise when she and husband showed up to see us three weeks later when we played City of Lomita Founders Day, Lomita City Hall.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on April 23, 2023•From Valencia, CA
This is our 2nd time hiring Good Cop Bad Cop. The first time was for my daughter’s medical school graduation, the 2nd time was for a Black tie Fundraiser. Both times they were stellar! They are very talented, their song list is vast! My husband and I are already thinking about hiring Good Cop Bad Cop for our daughter’s wedding reception. Seriously, if you’re looking for a band, look no further. LOOK NO FURTHER.
:
Yes, this was the second time Jackie hired Good Cop Bad Cop. First, she hired duo for daughter's Medical School Graduation Party. Now, she hired whole band for a Black tie Community Fundraiser put on by Filipino-American Association of Santa Clarity Valley, Grand Ballroom, Hyatt-Regency Valencia. The Mayor of Santa Clarita and other dignitaries attended. And, the big, pleasant surprise was Jackie became President of the "Fil-Am" Santa Clarity Chapter, she was handed gavel during event. We thank Jackie for her repeat business; for being great to work with as event details came together, for her hospitality, tip and for her second gratifying review.

Memorial Service•Reviewed on April 11, 2023•From San Diego, CA
If you are looking for an amazing band to play your event, then Good Cop Bad Cop is the only choice. They're incredibly talented. Not only were they impressive performers, but they were also extremely professional and communicative throughout the planning process. They went above and beyond to make sure our event was a success & their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The day of the event, they arrived early, set up quickly, & put on an incredible show. Their musicianship is top-notch, & they had the entire audience engaged & entertained throughout the night. I would hire them again in a heartbeat & cannot thank them enough for making our event unforgettable!
:
Well, if you're looking for amazing clients, hook up with Alex A. We thank Alex for being great to work with, and we thank his extended family for their hospitality, tip- and the beautiful singing bowls gifts. This was a "Life Celebration" for Alex's girlfriend's father, Patrick, who by all sincere accounts was a very special guy. These folks hired us for an additional hour ("overtime") and we're very gratified they were pleased with us for such significant event in their lives.

Wedding•Reviewed on October 15, 2022•From Santa Barbara, CA
The band was better than we could have ever expected! We had them for our wedding. We had the Duo for our ceremony and cocktail hour and the band for the rest of the reception. Many of our guests complimented them while they were playing and after as well. It was our first time booking and attending a wedding with a band and it went so well! We were so happy! They created a great atmosphere where everyone was dancing all night long. Ken was easy to work with and to communicate with. We were able to have Good Cop Bad Cop learn 3 new songs to personalize our wedding and they sounded amazing. So thankful they were able to accommodate us.
:
It was a lovely wedding, nice folks, nice venue- Carousel House with a park, Santa Barbara. We thank Sarah & Daniel for having Good Cop Bad Cop (both duo and band) play for their most special day. It was our pleasure. We're gratified they appreciated us, and we appreciate the 5 star review.
Review by Kim N.
Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on August 21, 2022•From Santa Monica, CA
I simply cannot describe in 675 characters how enthusiastic I feel about Good Cop Bad Cop. I had never hired live musicians before and was a bit nervous. Due to cost constraints, we hired the duo, not the whole band. Ken and Mike BROUGHT IT! They are so talented, they knew exactly what to play to get and keep everyone on the dance floor, they went with the flow when we needed to interrupt for "happy birthday" and speeches, they were timely, professional, and communicated well. Oh, and did I mention their talent? I recommend them highly. It was money well spent. They made the party FUN.
:
These folks -- the hosts, their guests, even the caterers and I'll include Tux, the cat -- were very hospitable, very friendly.
Yup, these folks dance a lot, as Kim wrote. I think we can say a good time was had by all, even us.
It's always gratifying receiving such a review. We're glad we made them happy- "money well spent," they say.
Thanks, Kim.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 19, 2022•From San Diego, CA
I honestly do not have enough space to write about how impressed my whole party was with the amazing performance from Good Cop Bad Cop. Kenny was very professional and made the whole process super easy, especially for someone that has never booked a band before. The overall sound quality and vocal performance was top notch. I would MORE than highly recommend this band for any of your events! They were incredible!
:
What one can't learn from this review is how awesome the event location was: The Party was on a 139 ft yacht, a near-exact replica of The America, the historic nineteenth century schooner. We sailed on San Diego Bay, four hours.
We thank Ashton and the crew of The America for their excellent assistance with the logistics associated with this above-average-complexity gig. We thank Ashton for her hospitality and tip, for her excellent review- and for choosing Good Cop Bad Cop, the four-piece band.

Fun party, really nice hosts and guests, nice house and yard. Our setup was actually between a chicken coop with two hens, two roosters, and a turtle pit with four turtles. The animals seemed to enjoy the music. We thank Sara for her 5 Star review.

Community Event•Reviewed on March 7, 2022•From Coalinga, CA
All I had to go off of this Duo was a couple of videos but from those I absolutely loved their presence and knew I at least wanted to try and bring them to our Mardi Gras event. I must say they not only met but far exceeded my expectations. True professionals from start to finish. Came in early, mingled with the community, became a part of the event and not just a "stage performer" in it. I would recommend them to anyone and we will absolutely be requesting their talents again- Good Cop Bad Cop. ALL GOOD. Not a single bad thing to say about them. Honor to have them visit our community. Til Next Time! Bottoms Up!
:
Scott, Coalinga Chamber of Commerce, hired us. Proud of his town, everything he told us about Coalinga is true- a lovely, small central valley town with down-to-earth, friendly, hospitable people, big sky and mountain views- They even had a classic gazebo in the town plaza. Scott was great to work with throughout.
Scott rehired duo to headline two nights, Coalinga Memorial Weekend Festival, May 27 $ 28, 2022.
