007, Rat Pack, Soul Train, Britpop

Party Band Themes

Do you like themed parties? They are fun and a change from a party but what goes down well with most people? Well, strong themes that you don’t have to buy clobber for, themes that a person has most if not all of the clothes or props to feel a part of…

007: Licensed to Bulge

All a guy needs is a DJ, a cool white shirt, some understated shoes and an automatic firearm. Yes I was kidding about the firearm…it makes an unsightly bulge. Ladies don’t like that sort of thing. For a lady, well she can attend looking like a Countess from a small Italian principality.Musically you’ll need: A John Barry movie theme…

Rat Pack: Cocktail Chic

The Rat Pack (so named by Lauren Bacall), a goddess, was headed by Frank Sinatra and contained Dean Martin and Sammy Davis Junior. All you’ll need is a sharp lounge suit if you’re a fella and a ‘strappy’ cocktail dress if you are a lady or undecided.Musically you’ll need: A Rat Pack Set

Soul Train: Platform

Shades. That’s not all that would be ridiculous if you all turned up in sunglasses and nothing else. Might work.  No. You’re going to need shades, footwear with platforms last seen in the North Sea and a strutting attitude. This works both for ‘Dudes’ and for the ‘Chicks.’Musically you’ll need: Aretha.

Britpop

Britpop is more than a Gallagher sneer or a weedy (but brilliant) Cocker. It’s Union Jacks, sports jackets or parkers, a white shirt, some suede, a pinch of sports wear and a sense of fun.Musically you’ll need: BOPS (Blur, Oasis, Pulp, Supergrass)Get a party theme, get a party band quote.
