“Most people might be surprised to read that a '70s cover band was voted 'Best Local Band' by readers of a Seattle publication. But Hit Explosion did it, and when one considers their remarkable resume - they've played in Seattle's Kingdome and Portland's Rose Garden and they've been hired by Bruce Willis, Detlef Schrempf, Fred Couples and Paul Allen –
it becomes a bit less surprising. And the fact that they've even been joined on-stage by Seattle's uncrowned royalty,
Bill Gates, puts them into very exclusive company.
The upbeat, danceable disco band has a following like few others, and their appeal is undeniable.”

“Thank You for your support of Pioneer Square’s NYE Celebration. The event was vastly more successful than we ever anticipated, and drew more than 10,000 people to the heart of downtown Portland. That success could not have been achieved without your help (Machine Entertainment, Inc.) and the help of Hit Explosion. The event received extraordinary print, radio and television media coverage, and feedback from the community has been nothing but positive…Please accept our sincere gratitude for your help in making Portland’s 2004 NYE Celebration such a great success. We look forward to working with you again in similar projects.”

"Software tycoon Paul Allen, who co-founded Microsoft with Chairman Bill Gates, was the hit of Starwave's Christmas party when the band Hit Explosion brought Allen and his guitar to the stage. Sources say Allen
played four pieces, capping his performance with a rendition of "Play That Funky Music, White Boy."

“This year’s Medina Days was spectacular…Tuesday’s concert was HUGE! Within its first 6 years, it has quickly become a landmark event and a great way to launch this incredible week. This year, even though we had a huge rain storm, the true die-hards of Medina stayed and danced the night away with Hit Explosion.”

"It is no secret that they are Seattle's number one band and can be held personally responsible for packing every venue they perform. Attendance at this year's Great Northwest Microbrewery Invitational was 8,200, we believe
Hit Explosion was a big part of that success."

"Last Friday night at the Fenix after Hit Explosion's first set, a palpable cloud of steam rose off the body crush
that packed not only the dance floor but every other nook and cranny of the brick-walled basement.
They clearly love this music and their audience."

"Boogie down! '70's 'feel good' music appeals to teens, adults.
One of the most successful acts now playing local nightclubs is Hit Explosion.
Every weekend, Washingtonians line up to hear the band's note-for-note renditions of anthems from the disco era."
King County Journal
"A success at playing '70's tunes since they started three years ago at local clubs in Seattle, Hit Explosion now attracts fans from all over the northwest to their high energy, feel good shows. Some devotees wait up to two hours to get in the door to see a performance. They get everyone of all ages and ethnic groups together singing and dancing. It's a great time!
Hit Explosion plays funk and disco classics with all the soul of an original."

“…Fun costumes, great sound and an enthusiastic crowd response. Along with the recommendation of several coworkers, and your reputation as one of Seattle’s best party bands, I felt confident in booking Hit Explosion for this important corporate event. The crowd loved the 70s tunes, and the energy of the band. Kudos to all of you for conveying your love of the music you sing. Everyone in attendance felt the good vibrations, and the party was the talk of the town the following day!
Thanks again for your part in making (our) party a huge success.”
