The Food of Love played my wedding. Hands down the most fun, professional, and funk-tastic group of guys I have had the good fortune to meet and listen to!!!
Not only did Evolfo Doofeht give an incredible 4 hour performance that was full of energy, they were so easy and lovely to work with. They are great communicators and extremely organized. They took care of everything (set-up, sound, etc.) and I didn't have to do a thing. Not just that, but they're all incredibly kind people and were so happy / excited throughout the entire event. I will definitely use them again!
Gig Salad hosted a rooftop showcase in Austin, TX while we were there attending SXSW. The Food of Love were the headliners for our event, playing an hour long set. In addition to being incredibly easy to work with, great communicators, professional, and timely, they put on an AMAZING show. They got the crowd dancing and kept the energy high. Everyone was raving about how great they were (not to mention how unexpected their sound was). I would highly recommend booking The Food of Love for your next event or party. They are all extremely talented musicians and a joy to work with.
