"Roxanne," "Walking On The Moon," "Every
Breath You Take…." you’ll hear all your
favorite Police songs, you’ll get transported back
to the 80’s, you’ll experience what it was like
to see one of the world’s best bands in their prime.
The Police Experience is the result of an international
search for musicians who could re-create, in the most authentic
way possible, The Police as you remember them. With extraordinary
attention to detail, the band will amaze audiences; from
young fans of 80s music who may not have even heard of The
Police, to the most hardcore of fans.
The Police Experience show is as close as it gets to seeing
The Police in their prime. Using the original 3-person line-up,
the original instruments, the effects, the gadgets, the
clothes, ...all the bells and whistles. The band recreates
the energetic live shows that earned The Police the reputation
as a top-notch live act, not just a "studio band"
that toured in perfunctory fashion.
In July of 2003, Stewart Copeland himself sat in with
The Police Experience, and tore the house down with "Driven
To Tears" and "Roxanne." For the band it
was an honor and a solid affirmation of their efforts to
play with one of the world's most talented rock drummers
ever and the founding member of The Police.
The Police Experience is the official Police Tribute Band.
A true "tribute" to one of the best rock and roll
bands ever. So if you love The Police, this is as close
as it gets.
Whether it's a club, festival, private party or corporate
function, The Police Experience is an exciting, high-energy
show that will amaze audiences and provide an adrenaline
filled burst of nostalgia to anyone who spent their formative
years in the 80s. If you like Rock/Reggae/Pop/Jazz/New Wave/Punk/Fusion/Funk,
The Police Experience will simply blow you away!
Band Bios
David Rasner (Sting)
Like Sting, David has been an actor as well as a musician. He received his
MFA from the American Conservatory Theater graduate program. He was a regular
in Bay Area theatres such as the American Conservatory Theater, The Magic
Theater, Berkeley Repertory Theater, and Shakespeare Santa Cruz. Voice-over
credits include; "Final Fantasy: The Movie", "Princess Mononoke", "Ferngully
2," “Astroboy: The Series”, HBO's "Curb Your Enthusiasm",
the title role of Jubei in “Ninja Scroll: The Series” and the
soon to be released video game Final Fantasy XII. A talented vocal mimic
and a long-time fan of The Police, it was second nature to sound like Sting.
Recently, he even lent his Sting impersonation to a lead villain named Steng
on The Cartoon Network's Zatch Bell. Currently he is a regular on several
animated series and specializes in voice replacing everyone from Antonio
Banderas to L.L. Cool J. More than anything, David enjoys spending time with
his wife Jonna and daughter Sofia.
Mike Nieland (Stewart)
Since starting at the age of 4, Mike has studied with the top drummers in his
field including; Chester Thompson, Billy Cobham, Dom Famularo, Jim Chapin,
as well as being a graduate (top of his class- by the way) of the now-infamous
'School of Hard Knocks'… In other words, Mike has spent the last 15
years on the road, touring and recording with a multitude of artists from
the obscure right up to Grammy-Winning producers. "Growing up I played
along with all of The Police stuff to the point where I knew it front to
back… This gig made perfect sense to me, I could finally get a chance
to play these great songs that I grew up in awe of and pay tribute to them." Mike
also teaches around L.A. when time permits.
Pat Cherry (Andy)
What do Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Rick Allen (Def Leppard), and Guy Charbonneau
(Multi-Award winning producer/engineer) all have in common?? They all list
Pat Cherry as one of their favorite guitarists. Tackling the tough task of
emulating Andy Summers, Pat brings the energy of a true guitar virtuoso to
the band. After studying jazz guitar at Pittsburgh's Duquene University and
rising to the top of the local music scene, Pat relocated to Los Angeles
where he divides his time between The Police Experience, and being
one of the most in-demand teachers in town.
