Hello from Seattle Washington!!!
Hiwatt is a 5 piece "High Wattage Rock and Roll" cover band from Seattle, WA. The definition of "High Wattage" describes Hiwatt perfectly. Hard driven guitars and thundering drums splashed with great vocals to form great danceable music, that's what Hiwatt is all about...HiWatt puts on a very energetic show playing songs from bands such as Heart, Cheap Trick, The Plimsouls, Weezer, The Strokes, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, The Gin Blossoms, Pat Benatar, Kiss, AC/DC, Joan Jett and many, many more. All in all, great stuff to listen to as well as dance to. If you see that Hiwatt is out playing somewhere close to you, stop in and check these guys out. You'll be glad you did. A booking agent at a local club that recently hired them called them "the most authentic cover band I've heard in a very long time!!"

Why this name?
When first formed, HiWatt's members were big fans for late 60's British Rock...stuff like Cream, The Stones and The Who....most all those groups used "Hiwatt" brand amplifiers to get their loud, overdriven guitar sound...so basically it was a mix of High Wattage (Loud!) and Hiwatt amplifiers. I guess that's pretty much where we got the name. Andy had thought of it years ago in previous bands but no one like the name.
Do you play live?
We play local taverns, clubs, casinos and private parties in and around Seattle a few times a month and yes, WE LOVE IT!!!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Totally for the better!!!....never before have we had so much access to music!!
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Not really, we are a cover band right now.
Band History:
Hiwatt has been together since November of 2001, in various forms of one or another. Each member of Hiwatt has at least 15 years of experience playing in various cover bands and when you see them live, you can see that the amount of experience they have between them really pays off.
Your influences?
The Beatles, Tom Petty, The Romantics, Gin Blossoms, The Plimsouls, The Heats, Kiss....too many to mention now that I think about it.
Favorite spot?
On a stage in a crowded, hot club playing for lots of crazy people!!
Equipment used:
Vox, Fender, Dr.Z and Mesa Boogie guitar amps
Fender, Gibson, Rickenbacker and Gretsch Guiitars
