| Reef Bar- Mission Bay |
| I first hired Traction early January 08. After their 1st gig at REEF Bar, in Mission Bay, I was blown away. Great Vocals, Craig really worked the crowd (and it wasn’t an overly busy night, but the dance floor was rocking). The band were all polite and professional. REEF Bar is a live music party bar and I only book quality live bands such as Catch 22, Tall Poppies, VHF, Libido, and Speak Easy to name but a few. I have been involved with the bar and live music scene for many years and I am very impressed with TRACTION. I would recommend TRACTION for any function when you want your guests to have a great night with a fun live rock/party band. Cheers Lizard (a.k.a. Aaron Calman) GM of REEF Bar |

I booked Traction for our corporate Christmas function and in doing so I had a blinder. The guys were professional, accomodating and highly entertaining. They had people up on the dance floor that really should have stayed in their seats... Sarah Taylor |

| HCC Gala Evening |
On Behalf of HCC I would like to thank you and the band for performing at our 'Royal Variety Gala'. 'Traction' was fantastic and the dance floor was never empty from the moment the band started playing. We really appreciated your willingness to go the extra mile and would definitely use you at another function. Thanks for making it a night to remember. Jo Mitchell |
