Mike Dangeroux rules in a balls-to-the-walls way! Mike Dangeroux' guitar pyrotechnics (Tap Dance) makes Eddie Van Halen look like an arthritic old man. He even manages to bring the house down with the funky, silky, subdued All Funked Up. - Illinois Entertainer, 1995
This band is similar to Living Colour in more ways than one. Lead vocalist Floyd Stevenson sounds like a cross between Foreigner and Prince. - Illinois Entertainer, 2002
The Mike Dangeroux Brotherhood are performing Mondays at the Wise Fools Pub (2270 N. Lincoln).Each band member is a performance entity in his own right.MD & The Brotherhood have toured Europe and Canada with great success! - Chicago Defender 1992
Here are some upcoming testimonials from some of our clients:
Wow, wow, and wow! This band was excellent! They had everyone at the reception on the dance floor! We had a pretty diverse crowd - young and old - everyone enjoyed Mike and his band! We are still getting many compliments from all of the guests. It was a great mix of music (everyone loved the polka!) Everyone got a kick out of watching Mike play his guitar with his tongue! They were just perfect! You can't go wrong. (Plus, they were all very friendly) -- Joy L, Chicago, IL, 8/29/2009
Kick aXX! Highly recommend - very nice people - very talented. Rave reviews from my wedding guests. -- Amy G, Chicago, IL, 8/22/2009
WOW! Mike and all were great! They really made our reception special... there wasn't a song they couldn't play and they in many cases sounded better that the orignal artists. They got the party really stoked up and even had my grandparents out there cutting a rug. It was awesome to see Mike play the guitar with his mouth, how cool! We would definately hire them again. -- Lanise P, Madison, WI, 7/25/2009
Mike Dangeroux was a perfect match for our event. Our zoo was hosting its first concert and we were unsure of what to expect. The band arrived on time, set up quickly and efficiently, started on time, and played solidly for 1.5 hours. They were tuned into our audience and did a great job getting the crowd involved. They sounded wonderful--the volume was perfect and the musicians seemed to genuinely enjoy themselves. Mike was a breeze to work with. We would definitely book them again. -- Molly H, Wheaton, IL, 6/26/2009
Mike Dangeroux, very professional. Returned phone calls and E-mails quickly. Very willing to work around our budget. Very talented. Made our wedding reception very lively. He even let my 10 year old daughter sing a song with the band. I got nothing but good comments from everybody that was there. Awesome job!! Thanks Mike. -- Beth L, Mokena, IL, 6/14/2009
When we decided we wanted a band rather than a DJ for our wedding reception, it was because we didn't just want music, we wanted to entertain our guests with a live show. Mike and the band did that and more! They were so professional and gracious and really set the tone for the latter part of our reception. They were very accommodating to song suggestions or requests, and they kept a crowd out on the dance floor the whole time! We felt like the entire playlist was customized just for us. On top of that -- we were wholly impressed at the level of talent of each member of the group. Amazing! Thanks for a great time! -- Anne R, Madison, WI, 5/16/2009
Mike and band were awesome. I could not of asked for anything better. it seemed as if every guest asked who he was and how great he was. I would hire Mike to play any event I have. My wife and I have been trying to come up with "excuse" to have another party just to hear him again. -- Chad O, Terre Haute, IN, 4/18/2009
Mike Dangeroux and his band were awesome. We had a 6 person band with a male and female vocalist for out wedding and they sounded amazing. From jazzy background dinner music, to rocking out Skynard, they were tight, professional, and a lot of fun. I would absolutley recommend them, especially over your typical "wedding orchestra" that sounds like every other wedding you've been to. -- Jim H, Chicago, IL, 3/28/2009
Mike and his band were AWESOME. I was nervous at first booking someone I never seen before. He was super polite and fun. Mike also was good with communication and follow through. The band was loved by everyone at our school. Parents are calling me and emailing about them because the kids loved them and so did the parents. I can not say enough about this band. I am going to promote them for another school function. I would also go and see them if they ever played around my area again!! -- Jacki K, Park Ridge, IL, 2/20/2009
Amazing! I was worried booking with out hearing them live, but the minute they started playing any worries disappeared. They did everything we asked, even if it was a last minute request. You will not be disappointed with this band, they were truly a "10" and our guess loved every minute of it! We have been receiving calls week telling us how wonderful the party was, especially the band! -- Lory M, Racine, WI, 1/17/2009
i am not casually clicking 5's. this band was what made our wedding. they were so talented, fun and just nice people to deal with on every level. all our friends and family were blown away and we loved the song selection - they were very attuned to what we were about. they gave us an encore that brought down the house because people were having so much fun. i'd recommend them to anyone but i don't have to because all my friend already love them after the wedding. please share these comments with Mike. thanks so much. -- Beth J, Evanston, IL, 11/22/2008
Mike and Raw Dawg gave and outstanding performance and was a pleasure to deal - Various
