“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.”

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.”

"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."
