A Choired Taste - Orange County Tribute bands

Watch Us! We're the "Surprise Band" !

Why this name?
Brainstormed the name, Fan Club President Erika gave idea to Bill, the Trumpet Player, who came up with the name.

Do you play live?
Yes. We've played at Thai New Year's Festival, Hollywood, The Galaxy Concert Theater, The Hard Rock Cafe, Fashion Island, CA; The Coach House in San Juan Capistrano, CA. and many other clubs and smaller venues. Love to play live and setting up our next venues: Edison Field, Hollywood Bowl, The Forum. Tour of Southern France during latter part of 2007.

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Will permit individuals to bypass the "Big" (and BAD) recording companies. Eventually, should see huge improvement in music with much more diversity.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Been there, done that.
