Book The Raz for your next event and be prepared to air guitar!
I would highly recommend The Raz! They played later than they had to and accommodated all my song requests!
We danced the night away!! We had expected to have a two piece band and you can imagine our delight when they showed up with a drummer and a whole drum kit..."THE RAZ" DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!!
Loved everything about them..The communication from them from the beginning of the booking, they were prompt for set up and rocked the night away with us!! Would definitely hire them again..Take a Bow Sirs!! The band was everything we had hoped for!!!
Response from The Raz:
We also had a great time, AWESOME people, very accommodating & lotsa Fun!!!

Response from The Raz:
Great hosts Lindsay and Laura we appreciated your generosity!
William & Roman by far ...are the best, most talented musicians in the Okanagan.
Their choices of Rock classics are second to none. They chose difficult classics that most bands would not be able to do. Also their vocal power on these difficult songs is extraordinary. If I owed a bar... they would be the House band. Be prepared to hear Rock classics that you never heard before performed in any venue. It’s like ur in a huge stadium listening to a full on Rock concert. These guys are top shelf. In my own 40 yr career as a Sax player... I would be honoured to play these difficult rock classics. No easy stuff for these Pro’s.... expect to get blown away as I was.... and I’m usually a critic of sorts. Kelowna doesn’t realize what they have in town. Take advantage now folks...& support “ The Raz “. Support life music now... or lose it forever. 5 stars for these Stars~~~
Response from The Raz:
We are humbled by such a great review especially coming from a music pro such as yourself !
Often, we all go out from time to time and suffer through some cheesy 5 piece band slaughtering otherwise great tunes one after another - not these guys! You'll get stellar performances, top-notch renditions of some of the trickiest, yet popular music of the past 40 years - performed to the ultimate nuance and attention to detail. Great band, highly recommended.

A few technical insights from the RAZ.
We are musical gadget nerds, using the latest technology to facilitate our great sound, whether it be an intimate lounge level or a Rockin’ thunderous concert level, we first begin with the tones,
We spend an inordinate amount of time getting our keyboard sounds programmed to sound as close to the originals as possible. We sometimes utilize a harmonizer to thicken up background vocal harmonies.
The guitar rig is also fully programmed to electronically simulate all the signature guitar parts and solos.
With the DUO, due to not having a drummer and bassist we use MIDI backing tracks, this ensures a very consistent level of performance, equaling that of a full band.
We also have programmed LED lighting which consumes very little power, so no more blowing breakers during performances.
The benefit of all this technology is a big sound at any volume, awesome stage lighting, low power consumption and a small stage footprint.
We have gone through great lengths to simplify and streamline many of the logistical hurdles and cost that club owners once had to incur to put on a great production.
Finally the bottom line is some of the Okanagan’s most well rounded competent players at the helm with incredible vocal ability.
We are bringing the EPIC sounds of the past to a whole new future generation! If you are looking for EPIC at a lower cost this is it!
