A Southwest Michigan cover band that doesn't stick to one decade or one genre — expect classic rock, some 80's dance pop, a little edge, and whatever's on the radio right now, all in the same night.
Dart Board Compromise started in September 2016. Between the five of us on stage there's over 150 years of playing out in the Southwest Michigan and Northern Indiana scene — different bands, different decades, same habit of not being able to quit music.
We named the band for a reason. Nobody agrees on one genre, so we don't play one. One song it's Stevie Wonder, David Bowie, or Heart; the next it's The White Stripes, Dorothy, Chris Stapleton, or Greta Van Fleet. It works because everybody actually knows how to play their instrument, not because we picked a lane and stuck to it.
We've played riverside tents, resort patios, legion halls, campgrounds — pretty much anywhere with an outlet and room to dance. Bring a crowd with three generations in it and we'll still find something for everybody.
Soulful vocals, tight musicianship, and decades of experience — DBC is sure to please a multi-generational audience.— Venue Owner, Southwest Michigan
We don't play one style all night. The set moves around — a little of everything, so you're not stuck waiting an hour for your song to come up.
AC/DC, KISS, Judas Priest. This is for when the room wants it loud.
The Rolling Stones, Journey, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Billy Joel. Stuff you've known the words to since you were a kid.
Blondie, Van Halen, Wang Chung. This is where the dance floor actually fills up.
The Killers, Kings Of Leon, Foo Fighters, Green Day. Newer stuff, so we're not just a nostalgia act.
Five people, five instruments, one setlist. Here's who's actually on stage.
