They play alternative and Classic rock music. The band consists of Curtis Hammond on Vocals/ rhythm guitar, Chuck Haigler on lead guitar and background vocals, Rick Rosetti on drums and vocals and Jeff Rainwater on bass guitar. Our strength is in the high energy setlist that gets the crowd on their feet dancing and singing along to a mixture of classic rock, 80s rock, 90′s alternative hits and current music of today by such artists as Nickelback, 3 Doors Down, Buckcherry, Sublime, Staind, Theory of a Deadman, Kid Rock, Limp Bizkit, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Velvet Revolver as well as classics like AC/DC, Van Halen, Def Leppard, Creed, Rage Against The Machine, STP, Bryan Adams, Doors, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin and more. Add to this a penchant for throwing in a little Tone Loc, Beastie Boys, Wildcherry, Cameo, Los Lonely Boyz and Stevie Ray Vaughn and you get an infectious evening of danceable rock and roll hits that the club patrons enjoy and never get tired of hearing.

 

Sweatin’ Bullets began several years ago in Gastonia, NC and played several gigs with a different lineup.

Upon answering an ad for a lead singer position, Curtis Hammond joined the lineup and brought along with him former Wax Gurus bandmate, Chuck Haigler and the talented and energetic, Rick Rosetti playing drums. Rick has many years of experience and provides background vocals as well. This new dynamic lineup has taken over and brought new life to the Sweatin’ Bullets band. For the past three years the group has consistently provided great live performances at clubs throughout the Charlotte area and have developed a following of supporters who enjoy the energy and playlist that appeals to the new younger crowds as well as the classic rock crowds.

It is this unique ability to integrate dance and rock into an fun filled exploration of styles that gives Sweatin’ Bullets an edge. The band is able to cover such a wide variety of styles due to the great musicianship of its players and attention to detail that makes them so special.
