Van Walen

This is not another tribute band....Its a SHOW! Van Walen puts you as close as possible to an early 80's VH concert... No backing tracks, no gimmicks, or common "stage" tricks. We play the music spot on, note for note, without cutting corners to fool the audiences we play for. We spent the money on the EXACT rigs that Van Halen used. Dale Rutter, who enjoyed much success as an award winning actor in LA, moved to southern Florida with a plan to bring the glitz and glam of hollywood, right here to the east coast. A band that goes above and beyond to give you a realistic, fun show. He formed Van Walen, following in the footsteps of bands like, The Atomic Punks, and Steel Panther, who basically rule Hollywood. Any band can throw on a wig and bill themselves a tribute, but we wanted to make everything authentic. All our gear is 100% exact. From Dale's replica of the 1981 Diver Down drum set that Alex played, to the classic Ampeg bass rig that Mr Anthony used on tour. Ben's guitars are NOT store bought! He had each of his four Frankinstrat guitars, designed and hand built by the same makers of Eddies rig. Complete with the custom EVH cabinets and 5150III heads. We found all the actual effects used to give you the true VH, "brown" sound. Each member in this band, has spent years on the road with other bands....playing... working...perfecting their instrument....With only one real goal in mind......TO ONE DAY BRING YOU THEE VAH HALEN EXPERIENCE! Well, the right four guys met...."And we hit the ground runnin!".............
