Quotes

  • GOOROOS puts on a very energetic and fun show. There are many, many bands that do a good job musically and/or vocally, but very few combine this talent with a “party atmosphere” presentation and that is what really sets them apart. As a venue owner/operator, I am always looking for bands that can combine these rare traits. I highly recommend them to other venue owners as well as private event bookings.
