A Lovely "Thank You"....

2012-02-26T13:21:00.000-08:00

"Guys....Thanks so much for making my wedding so fun....I was having such a good time dancing that I didn’t want it to end. It was a great feeling to look around and see all those people (even people with bad knees who never dance) get up and have a great time! I know you guys put a lot of effort and planning into it and it showed. The song you guys played for me and my Dad sounded so beautiful, and it meant a lot to both of us :)
You guys were a huge part in making that day a success, and I really appreciate it. You definately gained a lot of new Rockaholics fans that night!!!!"

Well, that was nice! JFYI....we play for any kind of party....Birthdays, Retirements, Corporate Events, Weddings, BBQ's, Yacht Club events.... wherever and whenever great danceable rock music is needed!

From a write up at Brasserie 214 (a.k.a. The Inn at New Hyde Park).

Favorites at Brasserie 214, and made up of veteran players that happen to be true Rock and Roll “aficianados”, The Rockaholics are excellent musicians, have a wonderful sound, and the songs they play are very “dance-able”. You can tell by watching them that they truly enjoy performing all those great classic party rock tunes we grew up with!

LIVE ROCK BAND FOR HIRE ON LONG ISLAND!

2011-02-12T23:43:00.000-08:00

The Rockaholics are a great rock and roll dance party band made up of veteran players and rock and blues afficanados that love to play the music we all grew up with! The Rockaholics are reliable, professional, have a great sound, play the best music, and are absolutely ready to rock your party! With non-wedding parties starting at only $800 (depending on the date and location), you can have a LIVE BAND playing great music at your party for about what a DJ would charge. Call us for wedding rates (we're still very reasonable)!

A ROCK AND ROLL WEDDING BAND?

2010-12-12T10:46:00.000-08:00

Absolutely! What's really gratifying is when wedding guests approach us to say how much they enjoy the music we play and how much better we are than the average "cookie cutter" wedding bands they've seen. That's probably because we are music fanatics, not robots! We love to play the great dance rock songs we all grew up with, and we play them with all the feeling and attention to detail they deserve. People say that we look like we're having a good time when we play....well, that;s because we ARE having a good time when we play. We love to play, and love to make people dance and have fun. That's what The Rockaholics are all about.....

Our rates our reasonable and we'd probably cost you less than a DJ. We perform at several public venues if you'd like to see us in action. Email us at rockaholicsanonymous@hotmail.com , and we'll send you info about our next performance.

Are THE ROCKAHOLICS really a Long Island Dance Party Band?

2010-11-28T13:45:00.000-08:00

A young couple stopped us as we were walking down the street the other day, asking whether we are a NY and Long Island Dance Party Band. "Well of course we are!", we all answered in unison, "We are one of the best Long Island Dance Party groups around! We also are one of NYC and Connecticut's favorite Rock and Roll Party bands around!". "We play all kinds of danceable rock music on Long Island, NYC, AND Connecticut. Heck, we'll even go to JERSEY for cryin' out loud!". "We also play Rock and Roll Weddings!", we said. "When people want something different for their wedding, something other than the usual tired disco dj music, they call us!" "We play Wedding Dance Rock music for people that like to rock out at their weddings". "We are L.I.'s favorite dance rock wedding bands". "As a matter of fact", we told them, "We are also NYC's favorite rock and roll dance party wedding bands". Well, after we told them all that, they quietly told us they were, in fact, getting divorced; and since they were ending their marriage amicably, they wanted to have a "divorce party". Again we answered in unison, "Well, that's kinda weird, but maybe no weirder than that Bris we played at a few months ago. "Yeah, okay...we'll play at your divorce party...no problem". Who knows, maybe they'll have so much fun together at their divorce party, that they'll get married all over again...and we could be the NY dance rock wedding band that they should have had the first time around!
