Forthcoming Gigs:

136 GIGS PLAYED... AND COUNTING!

Retrobution are a seven-piece band based in and around Milton Keynes in the UK - a classic line up of five instrumentalists with male and female lead vocalists, plus a heap of well-known songs have resulted in a rapidly-growing following.

We originally formed in Summer 2000 almost by accident, during a series of workshops held for local musicians at The Stables, Wavendon. Following a hugely successful end-of-term gig (where we had everyone dancing in the aisles), we decided to continue with the band that became Retrobution. A couple of line up changes later, and we're still going strong.

We play cover versions drawn from a wide range of styles - songs by the Rolling Stones and Free sit next to hits by Bryan Adams and Queen in our song list. And that's just the first set!

Our second set typically begins with classic soul standards in the style of the Blues Brothers and Commitments, before turning to good old-fashioned rock'n'roll.

You WILL dance!

Comments:

You brought back a lot of great memories and made the day even more special. Everybody thoroughly enjoyed the dancing...it was a good variety of numbers; a good mix which appealed to everyone

Karen and I wanted to say a huge thank you to you all for Saturday night... you sounded fantastic. Stepping back 10 feet or so, every instrument and the vocals all have their own space; this all comes together to provide a wonderfully full wall of sound. Quite simply you made the party – I now completely understand all the written accolades that the band receive. I can only repeat, from both of us: THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

John and Karen

We just wanted to drop you a line to say thank you for making our evening so special. We have had so many lovely comments about Retrobution; you certainly made a difference to the evening! We would have no doubts in recommending you to other people and hope that you make some bookings off the back of your performance on Saturday. We are already trying to think of an excuse for another party we had so much fun!
