Wolf Parade Booking Agency Profile

Wolf Parade, a Canadian indie rock band, won over reviewers with their complex, dynamic music that was influenced by a wide range of genres. They also saw an unexpected amount of financial success. They consistently wrote catchy songs with pop hooks that made it clear they had spent a lot of time listening to 1980s new wave music. However, they also added a splash of wit and a lyrical attitude that gave the songs a warmth and humanity despite the clean surfaces of their recordings. They also added a sense of drama and orchestral grandeur that was a throwback to prog rock (particularly in Spencer Krug's Bowie-styled vocals).
When singer-songwriter-multi-instrumentalist Spencer Krug, who was then a member of Frog Eyes, was contacted about the idea of playing a gig opening for the Arcade Fire, Wolf Parade was born. After saying "yes" right away, Krug realized he needed to recruit musicians to perform with him. With only a week till the performance, Krug got in touch with Dan Boeckner, whose prior experience included working for Atlas Strategic. In order to keep time while writing songs, Krug and Boeckner used a drum machine. They decided to include drummer Arlen Thompson so late in the rehearsal process that they didn't play together until the sound check for the performance. The new band decided to continue playing music after the successful performance..

The final Wolf Parade booking price is contingent on many variables and the booking fee we may show is based on a range derived from our past experience with what will Wolf Parade charge for an event. An example fee to book Wolf Parade is in the starting range of $40,000-$74,999. However, any recent popularity change would cause a price fluctuation well beyond this example. Also, their speaking fee might be different than the fee shown for the cost to perform or to just appear. Popularity, career stage, along with current demand will cause fluctuations in their speaking price as well. The final booking price may be more than what is shown, but you should at least have a budget within that range for them to consider an appearance, performance or speaking engagement.
CTI negotiates on behalf of professional event planners and talent buyers for paid appearances! We cannot give out direct contact information of the Wolf Parade agent or help distribute fan mail, personal messages, gifts, requests for free appearances, or donations of time. The Wolf Parade manager and agent will only work with us if we present them with funded offers for their client to work your event.
There is low probability to book Wolf Parade for a party with anything substantially less than the published booking cost price range. We will negotiate with the Wolf Parade agent on your behalf if your funding is in place. By not having funding ready then it will more difficult to book Wolf Parade, because they get many offers to work events that are at or above asking price. It is also important to consider the travel costs when researching the Wolf Parade booking fee, as additional expenses like this, as well as an entourage of staff and equipment, are not necessarily built-in to the booking fee range shown. If your budget does not factor that in, then there is no benefit for them to want to be hired. We do not personally speak for Wolf Parade, but in our experience in booking talent for over 25 years, this is generally the outcome of inadequate funding.
