Corporate parties require a special touch… an eye and an ear, as well. Every crowd is different and every company has individual goals for its event. It can be a challenge to get your co-workers to drop their inhibitions and get out on the dance floor. The Quake knows from experience not only how to make it happen, but also how to make it fun! We can watch and read your crowd to understand where we need to go next. Plus, we will interact with all of the planners of the events — from your in-house staff to your caterer — to develop the right timeline and create the right mood to make your corporate event a big success.

The Quake Unleashed was a concept born out of the Comcast Sports Net Cable show “Monday Night Live” back in 2006. Quake co-founder and bandleader, Carl Smith, loved the freedom that live television afforded him. Being the musical director on a live television program allowed him to present whatever collection of musicians that he wanted to each week. Having the freedom to do this week in and week out kept a 19 to 22 week routine situation fresh and new, especially if the Philadelphia Sports teams weren’t doing well. No matter what, The Quake Unleashed had to deliver each week. The party couldn’t stop because a Philly team lost. The Quake Unleashed performed each week for the live audience at Chickie’s and Pete’s in South Philadelphia and the viewing audience at home, as though it was 1999. When the show went to commercial, the band kept the party going. For the first season of the show, the band was called The Quake Unleashed.
The Quake Unleashed expands on the raw energy, explosiveness, and spontaneity amongst all of the other great things the Quake is known for. Hopefully you can take it to another level by removing all the restrictions and boundaries that you’re faced with in normal musical situations. In a nutshell, The Quake Unleashed is The Quake on steroids. It is still The Quake, but with additional personnel, be it extra horns, vocals, guitars, bass, keyboards, or percussion. Today that original concept has been refined, shaped, and molded into a 16 piece mega band that can be accompanied with anything from dancers to a string section. When it comes to The Quake Unleashed, there are no rules. It can be whatever your imagination and budget will allow.
