KiX Party Band, led by Marc Coté, is a very flexible band. The band can be as small as two performers ( AKA Duo KiX ), when space or budget requirements call for that; musicians are added as needed to form larger groups; 3, 4, 5 or more. All the musicians are very experienced & talented, and have worked with Marc for years, guaranteeing a smooth, seamless performance.
KiX Party Band has one of the largest & most diverse repertoires among bands of this type. With over 650 songs, KiX Party Band can handle most musical requirements with ease. The 50's & 60's, R&B, Disco, Dance, Pop, Blues, Latin, and so many other styles, all played by professional musicians who truly enjoy performing and have a sense of FUN! Whether you are looking for a duo, trio, a 4 piece or more, you and your guests will be in capable hands with KiX Party Band.
Marc Coté personifies versatility. He is an accomplished musician who plays several instruments as well as being a talented singer with an impressive vocal range and the leader of KiX Party Band, bringing 30+ years of on stage experience to the act. Thanks to the many years spent touring and "paying his dues", Marc is at home on stage and is happiest when performing.
Under his musical direction, KiX Party Band boasts a repertoire of over 650 songs of many diverse styles. Marc's ability to put together a top notch show for virtually any audience is well known, as is his talent for "reading" the audience and giving them just the right song at just the right time. Marc was the winner of the Quebec-based band contest Pop Express, and has had two top 40 radio and video hits and has written, performed or produced several CDs. He is a Montrealer and lives in the west end of town.
Melina Soochan has been performing regularly as a singer/songwriter and pianist from her teen years and has developed into a soulful and sophisticated artist. Her unique blend of pop, rock, jazz and blues complements her classical training and pushes the envelope of contemporary music. A graduate of McGill University's world-renowned music program and with an ARCT from the RCM of Toronto, this talented performer has best been able to demonstrate these skills as the lead singer of KiX Party Band.
Dr. Sax, aka Orville Thompson, is one of Montreal's best-known and most popular musicians. A professional singer and performer for over 30 years, Orville has performed all over the world, bringing his tremendous stage presence to every show he plays. Orville has worked with Marc for more than 25 years as a guest star and, in 2014, joined KiX Party Band as a full-time member. Along with Melina, he co-leads the show with confidence and enthusiasm.
Kevin Farrington is a very accomplished musician, with nearly 30 years of playing experience on both guitar and bass. A musical chameleon, he always plays using the most appropriate style for each song. He is also a very funny man and an element of humour and light-heartedness is welcome in any musical act. Kevin had played with club favourite Spanky and many other popular acts before hooking up with KiX Party Band, to which he brings his distinctive talent and vocal ability, as well as a sense of fun. He was born in Mont St-Hilaire and now calls Montreal his home. Kevin has been working with Marc for over 25 years and is a core member of KiX Party Band.
I just wanted to write you to let you know how exceptional we thought the band was at our client’s closing Gala night. Everyone had a wonderful time and your band played a big part in making the night so much fun.
We loved the way that you incorporated our "out of the blue" saxophone player and enjoyed your multiple costume and set changes.
Encouraging the entire room into a Conga line was also an amazing feat.
We received numerous compliments from the delegates regarding how great you were.
Thank you for helping make the event such a successful and memorable occasion.
I would not hesitate to recommend your band in the future.
