  How did you get started?
  
  Tony Stephan: This project started in April of 2008 at the unveiling of SouthWest Airline’s Illinois 1 jet at Midway Airport and has been flying high ever since.
  
  Explain your band’s name.
  
  We knew we wanted to incorporate the word “party” somehow in the name, based on our idea of the music and the stage show we envisioned. While talking about the stage antics of some of the guys in the band a fan of ours said, “You guys are a bunch of freaks!” Thus, the Party Freaks were born.
  
  What kind of music do you play?
  
  We play anything that will keep the party going. Our setlists cover everything from the ’70s, ’80s, ’90s and today’s popular rock, country and dance favorites. Between the three vocalists in the band and the various guest musicians we bring on stage, we cover a pretty wide range of material.
  
  Who are your three biggest influences?
  
  Each member of the band has many different influences. With this band, however, it is all about the fans and playing what they want to hear. We can’t help but be influenced by music from all eras. Our goal is to accurately reproduce that music and get people involved with the show.
  
  Why should people come see you (in 50 words or less)?
  
  We have something for everyone, and everything in our show is geared toward an energetic and highly interactive evening of live entertainment. No special reason required; every gig is a party with this band. Like our motto says – Time for a party? Time to call the professionals!
