The Basics Booking Agency Profile

Book The Basics for your next corporate event, function, or private party.
Wally De Backer, who has also performed under the name Gotye, and Kris Schroeder founded the Australian group The Basics (pronounced BAZ-itch). Tim Heath later joined the group. The release of their album B.A.S.I.C. featured a lot of versions of timeless songs that you could sing along to in your sleep. Despite this, the album still sounds dynamic and new; you can't help but sense how much the band enjoys performing the songs. The cover of The Sonics' "Shot Down" serves as the album's lead single.
Their shared passion of rock'n'roll from the 1950s and 1960s is what originally drew them together as The Basics. Even now, the burst of sound and the sheer force still set the heart racing. They adore The Beatles and everything they accomplished. In contrast, the Sonics never achieved major success. They were one of the original garage bands and the groove is intoxicating owing to their raw sound. The Basics are really passionate about whatever they do but Shot Down just resonated with them. For years, they performed it live and were in awe of it. Therefore, when it came to creating a new record that featured the music they loved, it seemed perfect..

Frequently Asked Questions about booking The Basics to perform.

Many performers, actors, speakers and other talent like The Basics in certain cases will consider virtual appearances via live streaming. They perhaps may accept lower fees too. If you are seriously interested in booking The Basics or other talent shown on our site, we will research their desire and the specific fee for your live-streaming event or project request.
The Basics's current work schedule and location in relation to your event's type, date, budget, and locality will play a primary factor in the acceptance of booking The Basics for your party. As long as your funding is commensurate with the price range to book The Basics, CTI will propose your event to the official agency representing The Basics. After we consult with them, we will provide a personal and accurate quote that includes: final costs, availability, and actual interest in being hired for your specific event or party.
CTI can give you the accurate The Basics booking price once we submit your event details to their camp. "How much does it cost to book The Basics for an event?" is a frequent question we get. The final The Basics booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will The Basics charge for an event. An example fee to book The Basics is in the starting range of $25,000-$39,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the The Basics agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The The Basics manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book The Basics for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the The Basics agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book The Basics, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the The Basics booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for The Basics, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
