Testimonials

” just wanted to thank you and Anhk once again for an “amazing” show. People are still talking about how much they loved you and your band.  Several people called into the local Clear Channel stations raving about how you guys were just as good if not better than some of the headliners!”

“Gretchen Bonaduce & Ankh are THE ultimate 80’s new-wave pop experience. Nobody brings the party quite like they do!”

As a child born in the 80’s, Ankh gives me a huge dose of nostalgia. One of the FEW 80s bands that SHOULD be covering those songs! They play the part as well as sing it!”

We book a lot of really really top acts here. We get national acts, we get
the best tribute acts. None of them have anything on Ankh.”

We would like to say a huge thank you to Gretchen Bonaduce’s Ankh! band for making our wedding truly unforgettable!  From the first song to the last we were dancing and singing along.  Your upbeat energy and fun 80’s music exceeded our expectations and was definitely one of our wedding highlights!  We loved your costumes, along with the song choices.  Our guests continue to rave about your performance and have even asked us for your booking information for their events!  Our video proves you had everyone, young and old, out on the dance floor all night long.  Y’all even learned and nailed our song, Journey’s Don’t Stop Believing and allowed our daughter to sing on stage with you.  That memory will be with us forever!  She now wants to be a rock star like you. 🙂  Your band is so much more than just a fantastic performance; you were all so warm and caring.   Words really can’t express how grateful we are that we chose your band for our special day!  We would highly recommend Ankh! to any couple looking for the perfect band to take their wedding to the next level and make it amazing!!

“…In my 24 years of doing the Celebrity Dog Wash Festival, I cannot recall a band that has ever gotten so many people up and dancing as ANKH! did! What we enjoyed the most about the band was their warmth and kindness. There were no egos in this group, they were extremely approachable, down to earth, very easy to work with, and most of all very nice.
We plan on inviting them back for our 25th Anniversary special celebration.”–

“Ankhesenamen, affectionately known as “Ankh”, is the most kick ass 80’s tribute band on the Sunset Strip. Gretchen Bonaduce’s incredible vocal ability coupled with the band’s unyielding musical talent is a winning combination. Ankh’s tribute performance is energetic, highly entertaining and just plain ole’ fun! You will find yourself singing along to every song. Good times!!!”–

“Gretchen & Ankh make it easy for me to be “Mr. 80’s” when they do such justice to the decade with their incredible musical tribute. Gretchen brings so much energy and life, let alone pure sexiness to their performance, it shows why the 80’s were so much fun and the music is still as fresh today as it was then.”
-Julian “Mr. 80’s” Douglas

“For the past forty years, the Holy Family Catholic Church community in South Pasadena has put together a fair for the community.  This year we held our annual fair Saturday, October 13 and as part of our festivities, our team decided to hire Ankh as part of the entertainment for the fair.  Ankh performed an 80’s dance music set that was well received by our community and most importantly Ankh met all of our expectations for punctuality and professionalism. One of the aspects that our team really appreciated about Ankh was that they started to arrive an hour before the assigned load in time.  Most importantly when they played their set our community was immediately captivated by their sound and stage presence. It was truly our honor to have Ankh play for our fair and I am certain that you will enjoy their set as much as our community did.”
