Biography

"Where have all the GOOD cover bands gone?" It was THE big question asked all over seven states and DC. So, in the spring of 2001, four local boys started the cover band of all cover bands.....it was the start of something EPIC! Bringing together musical talents, road experience and stage presence unmatched, CHEAP DATE knew their time had come to conquer the local music scene and bring the people what they'd been begging for....a cover band that actually ROCKED! You remember when live bands were actually GOOD and played music that everyone knew and loved? Well, CHEAP DATE remembered and brought it all back, directly from your CD collection! Every decade, every genre, every type band and singer brought to you live and kickin'! If you're hearing it new outta your radio then CHEAP DATE'S playing it live. And, they BRING THE ROCK, folks! But, have no fear, my friends....they'll throw ya' a bone with some pop, alternative, metal, country, R/B, dance....whatever will bring out the dancers, drinkers and damn crazy partiers out of their holes and on to the dance floor! Playing mostly current and some classic tunes, CHEAP DATE is here to make it a party! It's covers, covers and more covers....they play it ALL and make it a SHOW! Close your eyes....is that a disc or a live band? The tunes....they just keep comin'! What's a band to do....whimp out or throw down?! You know how this band of rock-n-roll brothers roll so be prepared to bring it!

Now, years later (with a few major upgrades along the way) CHEAP DATE continues to give the people what they REALLY want....a night of feeling cheap and rocked outta their minds! Being one of THE most sought after rock cover party bands in seven states, plus the nations capital, CHEAP DATE delivers what other bands only hope for.....a PARTYFEST every time they play! Fans come from far and wide just to rock the night with the best and CHEAP DATE doesn't dissapoint! Having sharpened their skills in the best venues, shared the stage with some of the best local-regional-national acts and rocked in front of THE best crowds, CHEAP DATE'S able to bring the rock party like no other! And it's a party worth remembering... or NOT remembering depending on how many socials they've called! Did someone say JagerBomb?!
