Expect a setlist full of musical and improvisational peaks and valleys as we take you as close to the edge as we can without completely coming off the rails. Our live performance has been affectionately dubbed by some as a "70s rock concert experience."
Here are some things that previous talent buyers have had to say:
"I loved having you on our stage- the crowd was loving it! I got all sorts of compliments about how awesome you guys are.
Thank you so much for being part of Shindig! We will see you again soon!"
- Melody Dazey, Sky Valley Chamber of Commerce
"Was so happy to have you guys play. Everyone loved your music… looking forward to having you guys back very soon!"
- Brandon Lucas, The Landing Chelan
"Beatdown Saints provide high energy music that consistently draws and retains local and walk-through customers at the Towne Pub. We’ve been lucky to have them monthly for the last 3 years, and would highly recommend them to any live music venue looking to enhance the quality and draw of their bands."
- Tim Bethune, Towne Pub Management
Beatdown Saints is comprised of Mike Setzer (Magic Carpet Ride, Born to be Wild Tour) on bass and vocals, Todd Kasper (Smokin’ Js, Mind, Kiki Fabulous) on drums and vocals, and the extremely talented Marc Berger on guitar and vocals.
Mike Has played all across the United States in venues of all sizes with Magic Carpet Ride and The Born to be Wild Tour (Featuring the original keyboardist of Steppenwolf, Goldy McJohn), and he’s shared the stage with Mike Pinera (Blues Image, Iron Butterfly, Alice Cooper), Jack Russell (Great White), Johnny Stachela (Allman Betts Band), and Nelson.
Todd has played events all over the Pacific Northwest with the Smokin’ Js and was a founding member of the band Mind (with local bass hero Keith Lowe.) Todd has also been known to drum for Stonesy (Rolling Stones tribute) from time to time.
Marc is the insanely talented guitarist who’s idea it was to form Beatdown Saints.
We believe our sound and style will be a great addition to any lineup, and would love the opportunity to take the stage and show you what Beatdown Saints is all about. We are confident that our live performance will leave a lasting impression on your attendees.
Three-piece band: bass guitar, guitar and drums, with 3 vocals.
We can provide our own sound and lighting for small to medium-sized venues if necessary.
