Fifties, sixties and seventies hits done properly, with three-part harmonies and a fair bit of back-and-forth with the crowd. The Hip Replacements are a Brisbane trio whose list reads like a jukebox nobody unplugged: Be Bop a Lula, Blueberry Hill, Brown Eyed Girl, Build Me Up Buttercup, California Dreamin, Daydream Believer, Friday On My Mind, God Only Knows and dozens more. A standard booking is three live sets with all sound and lighting supplied, plus background music running between them so there's no awkward silence. They cover weddings, birthdays, corporate nights and private functions. Insured for public liability.

Good to know
What to expect
The trio work the fifties, sixties and seventies, and they sing it in three parts, which is the difference between a covers set and something that actually sounds like the records. Be Bop a Lula, Blueberry Hill, Daydream Believer, Friday On My Mind. There's a fair bit of chat with the room between numbers, and they aim it squarely at getting people dancing rather than nodding along at a table. It suits a crowd with a wide age spread, because almost everyone in the room will know almost everything they play.
On the day
Sound and lighting arrive with the band, so your venue doesn't need a system of its own and you don't need to organise a hire. Background music runs through the gaps between live sets as well, which keeps the room from going flat while the trio takes a breather. What's left for you is the usual: somewhere to set up and power to run it.
Performance options
The standard booking is three live sets. Sound gear and lighting are part of it, not an extra, and the recorded music that plays between sets is included as well. That covers most weddings, birthdays, corporate nights and private functions without anything else needing to be arranged. If your event runs to a different shape, say so when you enquire and they'll tell you what's workable.
