"The interaction between eight0eight and the audience is synergistic in character, sometimes evoking audience involvement, but always provoking one to dance."
(Brad Bate - TV/Film Director)
"Awesome...we've been everywhere around the world and we've heard lots and lots of local bands but they were really good, the music was really tight
but even still, the harmony was really tight...it takes a special ear to be able to listen to a record and pull out the proper correct harmonies and they did"
(All4One - Grammy Award Winning R&B Group)
