The band are based in London however they frequently travel across the country to perform.
Gotta Be Garage reignites everything good about the UK Garage scene and delivers it to dancefloors across the country.
The band comes in a 6-piece lineup, with two lead female vocals, one male rapper/MC-guitarist, bassist, keyboardist, and drummer. The band’s inspiration is drawn from some of their favourite artists including Sweet Female Attitude, So Solid Crew, and Craig David.
Gotta Be Garage covers a vast array of genres to ensure the performance has something for everyone, with a plentiful helping of garage tunes that can either be played throughout the night or held off until the final set for an epic Garage get-down.
Gotta Be Garage has been described as ‘the icing on our cake’ by previous clients, so make sure you get your icing on the cake for your special day too!
Gotta Be Garage has years of experience at functions and events to support them on every gig, and they also appreciate the nuances of each event and deliver a slightly different performance for each client time after time. So for them, no two events are the same, and this really helps keep their performance fresh and current. The band likes to put their best foot forward with their bow ties, tuxes, and glitzy outfits, but of course, they can dress down for you, dress conservatively, or even dress to a theme.
The band is more than willing to be flexible with requests - at the end of the day, they want you to be happy, so whatever the request is, big or small, don’t hesitate to let us know and we’ll endeavour to cater to you.
Gotta Be Garage is fronted by Kimi, who is a seasoned performer having featured in West End shows such as ‘Chitty Chitty Bang Bang’, and ‘Scrooge’ at the London Palladium. Kimi has also been part of cabarets for some of London’s most renowned hotels, performed in numerous tribute groups, and has performed on high-class luxury cruise ships. Kimi is joined by Melinda on lead vocals, who was initially inspired by her father who was also a musician. Melinda studied at the Californian Poly State University and California Pacific School of the Performing Arts. Every garage tribute band needs an MC, and that is where the band’s marvelous Zach comes in. He’s not only a lyrical whiz, but he can sing for days, so not only will Zach provide the rap, but he can also double as a male vocalist.
