Our Story

This is not your typical DJ service. I don't play country, rap / hip hop or any kind of club "dance" music. I also don't have a lot of 90's "alternative" rock music. What I do have is probably one of the largest collections of Rock, Hard Rock and Metal music from the 70's to about 1993. The majority of which is ripped at 320kbps for the best quality you can get with MP3's. This is not going to be a full time weekend gig for me because I go out to see live bands most Friday and Saturday nights. I also don't really want to do anything on Friday nights unless it is a later start time and I am only bringing my small p.a. However for the right event I can change my schedule to make it work. So basically I am looking to do events on Saturday late after noon to late into Saturday night. I am available for private house or back yard parties, birthday parties (perfect for the rock music fan that is celebrating their 40th-60th birthday), high school reunions for classes that would want 70's or 80's (up to 93) music, local bars that want only ROCK music, so that eliminates most of them! And wedding dances if I know the bride or groom or someone in the wedding party AND if they want mostly ROCK music played. I am willing to play any music that they provide but if more than 25% of the music to be played that night is not rock music, I am not interested. Also there will be a $10 extra charge to play Brown Eyed Girl and $20 extra charge to play the Chicken Dance song. I have a great sounding p.a. that I got a for a good price so I don't have thousands of dollars in equipment like most DJ services have therefore I don't have to charge as much. I don't have much for lights at this time but I would be charging about 1/3 of what they do. For a small private back yard, deck, house or garage party that I don't need to bring my entire p.a. I will charge $100 for up to 4 hours of music. $10 for each additional hour that I want to do it. This would include just the one set of 12" or 15" 2-way speakers (depending on the size of the area, how many will be there and how loud I can turn it up), the power amp, mixer, laptop, hard drive, CD player (if needed) and some lights. I know most people don't typically pay to have music played at their party but if you have 20 people there and everyone throws in $5 you have it covered. Or the host can pay $50 and everyone else can throw in a few bucks. If there are going to be at least 5 of my friends at the party I will give you a discount. The more of my friends there, the bigger the discount. If I don't know the host personally, I will need cash payment before I set up. If I know you and you are collecting some money from people coming to the party you can pay me 1/2 up front and half later. For larger private outdoor parties or parties in a large room where I need to bring both sets of speakers and sub / amp / crossover, I will charge $130. These prices are good at least until the end of the 2017 and are only for Fargo/Moorhead area. If it is out of that area I will have to charge a little more for gas and travel time. I haven't decided on rates for bars or any other even that sells booze and makes money from people coming in. Contact me for that and we can discuss it. I will come up with rates by the beginning of next year when I will officially call this a business. NOTE: The phone number on this page is NOT my phone number. I had to list one to put the page up but I would rather have you contact me with a message on here and if we need to talk I will give you my number. So far I have done these events: My high school class reunion (2 nights), a 1986 themed night where only music up to 86 was played - at Speck's Bar. An 80's night where only music from the 80's was played - at the Garage Bar, a 70's night where only music up to the end of 79 was played - at Speck's Bar, one night playing random music at Rick's Bar and about 5 nights of playing random music at Speck's Bar. A wedding dance for a friend and a few parties for friends. I have had nothing but compliments at all of them. Most DJ services have a wide range of music they can play but probably don't have or know the deeper cuts that were not big radio hits. Not many people I know, know more about rock and especially heavy metal music than I do. I have been referred to as the Eddie Trunk of Fargo and I will take that as a compliment. Even though I think I know more than he does on most genres of metal. If you want to have a party with nothing but thrash metal, classic heavy metal, power metal or even doom metal I can do that! If you want just 70's rock or just 80's rock or a combination of all of it I have you covered. I do have plenty of newer radio rock too but not enough to do just a night of say music from the last 10 years if you want music people know. And I do have plenty of the lighter rock music from the 70's and 80's with a LOT of ballads too so it is not just HEAVY Rock music in my collection. I usually know my band schedule a month in advance but not all the time so I will not always be able to commit to a private party until a few weeks before hand. For a larger event that needs more planning I can commit 4 weeks in advance. Weddings, not sure on that. If it is for a friend of mine that I would be going to the reception anyway I can commit at anytime. For anyone else, if the price is right I will commit to 3 months in advance. That usually isn't early enough for most weddings though. If you have any questions feel free to message me or call me if you know my number. Thanks for looking at my page! Scot
