Acoustic Rock Band - Check!

Aleq and I are 90s kids, which means we want mainly rock and alternative music from the 90s to the early 2000s at our wedding. Our awesome coordinator suggested a wedding rockeoke band and we liked that idea. However, logistics made us think otherwise. The Pergola is a pretty intimate venue and we thought that the electric rock sound would easily overwhelm the place. We also didn't think our older guests would like the noise, so we had to find other options.

We decided to look for an acoustic rock band instead. The fiance started googling acoustic wedding bands and came up with this band that seemed really interesting. We liked their sound and they had videos of a couple of songs we liked. However, when we contacted them and they sent us their repertoire, we decided otherwise. We couldn't relate to most of the songs they played, and we only get to request a certain number of songs outside of their repertoire - if we go beyond their specified number, we had to pay extra.

So I started googling in more specific terms. I searched for "90s acoustic wedding rock band" or something like that and 4Play came up. One look at their YouTube channel and we liked them instantly. It felt like they stole our iPods - they had exactly what we were looking for.

We called them up, they sent their playlist over, and we liked almost everything. They even had stuff nobody else here plays! They're South people too - they play at SM Southmall and Gilligan's in ATC and Festival Mall. Those were our old stomping grounds. So we met up with one of the band members, Randell Tan, last March 9 at Starbucks, Alabang Town Center and sealed the deal. It was a great meetup. We were able to pin down a set list for the wedding without a hitch. They also had a set number of requested songs, but since we liked almost everything in their repertoire it didn't feel like we were restricted at all. A lot of the stuff we wanted, they already played. We also talked about music the way kindred spirits would. We discussed songs and riffs and concerts we went to and missed, etc. It was a real good fit!

The clincher for us by the way, was this video of them playing One Headlight by my favorite band, The Wallflowers.
