Thank you for coordinating yet another outstanding Hit Explosion performance at the Sonics game on April 18th! They added a tremendous amount of energy to our Fan Appreciation Night festivities. As always, the band was so easy to work with! Please pass along our appreciation to them for yet another excellent performance. We are looking forward to many future performances next year.
Sincerely,
Mark Henry

Most people might be surprised to read that a '70s cover band was voted 'Best Local Band' by readers of a Seattle publication. But Hit Explosion did it, and when one considers their remarkable resume - they've played in Seattle's Kingdome and Portland's Rose Garden and they've been hired by Bruce Willis, Detlef Schrempf, Fred Couples and Paul Allen - it becomes a bit less surprising. And the fact that they've even been joined on-stage by Seattle's uncrowned royalty, Bill Gates, puts them into very exclusive company. The upbeat, danceable disco band has a following like few others, and their appeal is undeniable.

"Hit Explosion's post game concert was a big success. It was our largest post-game concert ever! I would trust Hit Explosion to give a 1st class performance anywhere."
