Frequently Asked Questions

Got a burning question? We’ve made a list of our most frequently asked questions right here. If you still can’t find the right answer, feel free to give us a call on 0800 564 2240 or email on info@superhandsband.com. We can’t wait to hear from you.

We want a proper indie rock gig, not a 'cheesy' wedding band. Is that your style?

100%. We're passionate about being authentic in our style. We deliver a high-energy, authentic live show that feels like you're watching a headline set at a festival. From Oasis to The Killers, we play the songs you actually want to hear, played with genuine passion and swagger.

Can we choose the songs? We love Britpop!

We love Britpop too. You are welcome to browse our repertoire and pick your favourites to help us build the setlist. We specialise in high-tempo indie anthems that get people jumping (think Arctic Monkeys, Blur, Stereophonics), but we also know when to drop in a classic pop banger to keep everyone happy. We know what works to keep the dance floor full, so trust us to curate the perfect flow!

Where are you based and how far do you travel?

We are based in Portsmouth, Hampshire, but we travel all over the South. We regularly perform at weddings and events across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire and Dorset. Our standard quote usually includes travel within 30 miles of our base, with a small travel fee for venues further afield.

Can you play a specific song for our First Dance?

Absolutely. Whether you want a stripped-back acoustic version of 'Wonderwall' or the Arctic Monkeys version of 'Baby I'm Yours', we are happy to learn one special request free of charge (provided we have three weeks' notice to give us ample rehearsal time).

What happens when you aren't playing? Do we need a DJ?

We've got it covered. We provide a bespoke 'Virtual DJ' service as standard, keeping the energy up with a playlist of your choosing through our PA before and after our live sets. You can send us a list of up to 30 songs you'd love to hear. If you want a more interactive experience, you can upgrade to our 'Manned DJ' service, where a band member will mix tracks live and take requests from your guests.

Technical Requirements (Space, Power & Sound Limiters)

  • Setup Time: We need up to 90 minutes to load in and soundcheck.
  • Space: We are a 4-piece band, so we ideally need a performance area of around 5m x 3m.
  • Sound Limiters: Yes, we can work with them! We are professionals and know how to tweak our equipment to keep the punchy indie sound without tripping the power.
  • Equipment: We bring a high-end PA system and professional lighting rig, all PAT tested and ready to rock.

“They were phenomenal! So easy to work with, very accommodating, absolutely nailed the first dance version we asked for. We have had SO many messages about how fantastic the band were and how much fun they made it, the dance floor was rammed all night. Thank you so so much!!”
