Andrew Hosking of Devon, be thankful. My name is Andrew Hosking too, but I live
in Melbourne and am constantly asked if I can sing 'cos people mistake me for
him !!! I even had one of Andrew's fans 'phone my house once. But like you, I
can't sing either. You stick to selling property & I'll stick to what I do too.
LOL:-)

The Hosking band has been around forever. Not my favourite partyband, but they
are the favourite of plenty of other people. That's why they've been around so
long. Annoys me by changing words of songs and going on about Collingwood.

Having seen Andrew Hosking and Coupe De Ville for the last five weeks at the Chapel in Ballarat, it is fair to say that these guys are one of the best cover bands going around today. Every week, they consistently get better and better.
In defence of the band from one of the other reviews here, there really isn't anything wrong with involving the crowd. Too many bands are out of touch with what the crowd want and just play what they are comfortable with, Andrew hosking and Coupe De Ville can gauge the mood of the room and play to suit it. (mind you, the mood is always fairly high)
Great frontmanship by Andrew and a talented group of individuals, tightly combine to give a great perfomance. All members of the band sing, choosing songs that are well suited to both the crowd and their vocal range.
You can't help but love this band. All guys love Tanya the drummer, apart from being stunning, she has a fantastic voice and proves it with her versions of Wheatus, Corrs and Jennifer Lopez. Derrick on Keyboards / Sax busts a move with Young MC and Survivor. Simon on bass doing Blink 182 (and still manages to keep playing when on the roadie's shoulders during Rage Against the Machine) and Tommy sounds close to the mark, when he does Reef.
They give the punters what they want, and the punters come back for more. Keep it up guys, bring on the free tequila!!!! Long live Creed !!!!

Went and saw Andrew Hosking and Coupe de Ville. I thought they were fantastic. I especially loved the female drummer. She was amazing; very inspirational. She also had a fantastic voice. I really enjoyed the way that they had people up dancing with them. It's great to watch a band that have a lot of audience involvement. The variety of music was fabulous. I can't wait to go and see them again.

You either love or hate Andrew Hosking. His band have played some big venues in their time, because they play a good mix of party songs, and keep the crowd entertained. Some people, however, find the way they rejig and interrupt some songs annoying.
As a party band they play a lot of classic songs, with a few current top 40 songs mixed in. They play some alternative / grunge, but it is not their strength. Instead they concentrate on playing popular music, and having a good time.
Crowd interaction are what they are all about. They always have people up on stage with them, and are always keeping the crowd on their toes. They play lots of stuff to sing or dance to. This and their playlist see them suited to pub gigs, with crowds aged 20-30.
The problem some people have with them, though, is that they play around with a song, in an attempt to keep the crowd involved. They also interrupt songs to pull people on stage or do their own version of a song. Whilst this is entertaining, it means that they do not always sound like the original. They also have the poor taste to sing the Collingwood theme song on the rare occasions that they actually win. ;-)
It seems though, that only a few hold that against them, because they have been known to pull big crowds at good venues like Jooce and Hallam. They no longer hold those gigs, but still get some good spots.
If you are looking for some fun, singing along, and love to get on stage, they could suit you. There are bands around who are more accurate to the original, but not everyone looks for that in a band.
Pretty good nite, cheap spirits, and great entertainment from Andrew as a front man. Music played is up to date, although Andrew's vocals are something to be desire for. Overall a good night.
