Retrosonic
|
Retrosonic Started about 5 years ago, and slowly built up a reputation as one of Christchurch's best covers band. Mark is one of the original members and has kept the band going through some tough times.
In 2008 Mandi Miller joined as lead vocalist, and early 2009 experienced bass guitarist Nick Lambert, then in 2010 they recruited versatile drummer Jonathan Tressler. Now re-energised, Retrosonic are committed to providing a 'top' nights entertainment - whether you have a small pub or much larger function venue, Retrosonic are the band YOU need! |
