Anniversary Party•Reviewed on August 9, 2008•From Delavan, WI
The band was very good and a fun time was had by all. If I had one concern it was that the time schedule that I had prearranged for the band to play was not met. The agreed times were to play light music from 4:30-6:00 for cocktails,off from 6:00 to 7:30 for dinner.(they were included to eat), then they were to complete their 6 hour time committment by playing for dancing from 7:30 to midnight to mirror the open bar.The band played their last song at 10:30 pm (10:50 if you include the song I and one of my guests played with the band. As host I wasn't able to argue the shortened time in front of my remaining quests who were at the height of their evening. Too bad.
:
We were booked for 6 hours originally 4pm-10pm
The performance(s) were from 4:30pm-10:50pm!
Let me see that would be 6.333 hours.That's overtime!(Overtime,of which we weren't compensated or acknowledged for)
If we start playing at 4:30 and have a 6-hour commitment how do think you we would play until midnight?
I guess that's like work telling you you have a 8 hour day (when it's really 7 minus the lunch hour).
Time doesn't stop for anyone.
Clear communication is the key to a successful event.
Regards,

Graduation Party•Reviewed on July 12, 2008•From Chicago, IL
I have nothing but great things to say about Mike and his band. Not only was Mike on time but he was early. The band was very professional and kept the crowd involved through out their performances. I could have not asked for more! I will recommend them to all my friends and family.
Thank you once again Mike.

Birthday Party (Adult)•Reviewed on June 21, 2008•From Glencoe, IL
Mike was a pleasure to work with. However, while his band showed up and was excellent, Mike did not show up and did not call to offer any explanation. Also, I had made specific music requests and they were not followed. However, the band was outstanding and we really enjoyed their music. It's sort of like ordering steak but the waiter brings you scampi...and it was so good you didn't want to send it back or complain! The band was super-professional and were a pleasure to have at our house. I strongly recommend them.

Wedding•Reviewed on June 21, 2008•From South Haven, MI
the band was a little late getting there so we didn't get our dinner music, but they did get things started right away, only 5 minutes late, but by the end of the night I had forgotten all about the late start. THE BAND ROCKS!! Everyone, and i mean everyone, said so.
Overall - I would recommend them to anyone. (Just give them good directions) lol
Thanks again,
Frank

Graduation Party•Reviewed on June 7, 2008•From West Chicago, IL
We used a 3-piece steel drum ensemble from Mike's group for a graduation party. Everything was great! The pricing was competitive, the group was professional and our guests had nothing but good things to say about the music. They really turned what could have been a ho-hum party into memories for everyone involved.

Wedding•Reviewed on May 24, 2008•From Lombard, IL
We had 120 guests. We had Mike provide a 7 piece band. They absolutely made the party. Mike learned our first dance song and gave it some Dangeroux flavor. You will not go wrong with his band. A DJ just cannot touch the energy, flavor, funk and showmanship that the talented musicians with Dangeroux Mike Music bring to the table. We didn't even bother picking songs. Mike is a turn key vendor and the final product is worth every penny. We could not have been happier and hope to attend an event/wedding they play in the future.

Fundraiser•Reviewed on April 12, 2008•From Chicago, IL
Our event was a huge success and we received countless comments on the music. Mike and the rest of the band were professional, talented, energetic & cheerful. We had them play ambience music as a quartet during the cocktail phase of the evening. Later, as an 8 piece band, they rocked the house with funky favorites, gladly playing requests. The band was accommodating when we were forced to make a last minute change to our end time, which was much appreciated. We are planning to book them next year again!

Wedding•Reviewed on September 15, 2007•From Chicago, IL
The band was awesome at our wedding reception. They were very flexible with our requests and able to work with us on every aspect to make everything easier that day. Everyone was asking how we found these guys. We also lost power for a few minutes and no one could even tell cause the drums and horns still kept playing until we got the problem fixed. Mike even called me up on stage during the last song so I could play guitar with the band. I will never forget that!
Thanks guys, well done!

Mike was extremely organized and professional prior to the event which provided me with a comfort level my money was being well spent.
As far as his talent he is the finest most entertaining guitar player I have seen. He is welcome in my home anytime.

Wedding•Reviewed on September 1, 2007•From Racine, WI
My husband and I prior to our wedding decided to look on Gigmasters for assistance in finding a band. As soon as we heard their samples, we knew immediately they were the band. Their song list was OUTSTANDING. My husbands family stated that they never dance and didn't think they would, but that all changed once they heard this band. They made a family of non-dancers, get up and dance. Mike Dangeroux, made our wedding wonderful.

Hello Mike,
Just wanted to give you a big thanks for entertaining at my wedding! For all of you that read this want to tell you that you can't go wrong with Dangerous Mike Music! I was just married on August 25th. I am a musician myself and I couldn't have thought to hire a DJ when almost all my friends I invited to the wedding were also musicians. So from a musicians point of view...Mike won't let you down, he and his band were phenomenal! I also had Mike hire a couple of horn players. Sax & Tombone. That was a really good Idea!!
Now to the band...I really loved your playing and talent "right in the pocket!" You really had people dancing! Thanks,Dave

Wedding•Reviewed on August 17, 2007•From Chicago, IL
MiMike Dangeroux and his band were fantastic from beginning to end! To begin with, he was extremely helpful when I first hired him, working with me to accommodate my budget. He answered my e-mails and phone calls promptly (something that in my experience doesn’t always happen and can be just that much more stressful when you’re the bride). At the wedding, they were just so much fun and truly added to making the night a special one. They let me and my friends sing at the mic and seemed to enjoy it rather than be bothered by it. The island music (which we requested) was great and the band was tight. If I could go back and redo the night I wouldn't change a thing!

Mike exceeded my expectations...many people were saying this band was incredible during the wedding. I was so pleased with Mikes performance I gave them a $700 tip. Mike was accomodating , professional and is extremely talented. If I were a teacher they would get an A for performance, A for talent and A for professionalism.

We did not know what to expect hiring a band off the interent, but Mike and his crew not only put on a great show for our event they drove through a blizzard to play. With out a doubt some the best talent we have ever hired from a band. Thanks for everything Mike hope to see you soon.

Mike is absolutely fabulous! He and his band are consummate professionals in every sense of the word: very accommodating, very punctual, and incredible performers! They played for our annual company party to rave reviews. Our theme revolved around a Caribbean cruise, and his steel drum orchestra fit the venue perfectly. Mike was in frequent communication with me from the time I asked for the bid on Gigmasters until the party was ended so I never had to worry about the music. I highly recommend him and his band!
