For going on 8 years now, "HiWatt" has been one of the most influencial cover bands on the local scene rockin the Seattle/Everett/Tacoma area with it's infectious mix of danceable Classic and Current Rock and Roll. Often copied, but never duplicated, their blend of high energy, humor and musical talents is hard to find in this sea of generic, cookie cutter cover bands. They almost seem "refreshing", even considering some of the songs they do are almost 40 years old!!! HiWatt is a 5 piece Classic and Modern Rock cover band that plays songs from the 60's, 70's, 80's, 90's and even some current rock from today. Hard, over-driven guitars, thundering drums splashed with some great vocals and topped off with non-stop energy to form some great danceable music for all to enjoy. That's what the HiWatt experience is all about. HiWatt has been playing in and around the local Seattle scene since early 2001. Each member of HiWatt has at least 15+ years of experience playing in various successful cover bands in the area and when you see them live, you can see that the amount of experience they have between them, really pays off. They've got great chemistry and put on a very fun and energetic show playing songs from bands such as Stone Temple Pilots, The Rolling Stones, Pearl Jam, Cheap Trick, The Clash, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, Social Distortion, Lenny Kravitz, Kiss, Duran Duran, Collective Soul, U2, AC/DC, Guns and Roses, The Cars, Billy Idol, Jet, The Darkness and even some Lynyrd Skynyrd and Garth Brooks!!! All in all, it's great, high energy fun stuff to dance to, as well as listen to. If you see that HiWatt is out playing somewhere close to you, stop in and check em' out. You'll be VERY glad you did!

VARIOUS QUOTES BY FANS:
Thank you guys for playing for us! Holy canole’, everyone I talked to last night was loving your band – they liked your variety, energy, sound, the list goes on. And I got a rave review from the Mayor of Newcastle just this morning asking that we have you guys back as soon as possible. You were a HUGE success (as I knew you would be) and a HUGE part of our event’s success. Newcastle’s first Fourth of July was a big, big hit, and we couldn’t have done it without HiWatt!!
-Jules (City of Newcastle Events Coordinator)
You guys couldn't have rocked any harder at the Williams Street show in Renton. I'm convinced you're all former members from maybe Toto, REO Speedwagon or Foghat secretly in this side project called "HiWatt". Great show & I'm looking forward to coming out again!
-Chris (Auburn)
You guys rock. I took a peek at your myspace and website and am totally impressed. Except for the occasional few true rockers, most cover bands BLOW -- but you guys are exactly what people hope for when they go to a bar or a club to see a cover band. Energy, solid playing, fun. Love it.
-Jesse (Bainbridge Island)
Hey....y'all rock!!! The girls and I always love coming out to see you at the Raging River and letting our hair (and sometimes other things) down. It's fun to come and relax and not have to be on the other side of the mic for a change. Looking forward to more shows at R/R with HiWatt!
-Beth (North Bend)
You guys are the most fun I can have with my pants on!!
-Drunk chick (Benders in Renton)
FREEBIRD!!!
-Every drunk guy at every show
