The Lightyears present

Bangers & Anthems

Combining a rock band and DJ beats to create a unique dancefloor-filling live show featuring samples from the original artists. For clients with something to celebrate.

We are 100% live.

We sample the artist and add it to the mix.

The minute we started dropping samples into our live set and saw the crowd reaction, we realised the game had changed. Is it a DJ? Is it a band? Who cares — it’s more fun than a bus full o’ monkeys.

A lucky dip of session musicians.

Consistent line-up. Consistent chemistry.

Did we mention that The Lightyears are made up of friends and brothers who have been playing in the same line-up since we were kids? We’re like a family, and when we get booked for an event, we bring our audience into that family.

Bands play songs.

We play blocks.

We look like a band, but we think like a DJ. So instead of playing single songs, we build dynamic blocks of music that flow together — keeping your event rocking from start to finish.

Seen it before…

Never seen anything quite like this…

Had enough of the sales talk? Want to hear what we actually sound like live? Oh, go on then… 😉
