The Band

Outlandish d'Amour are a 4-piece band performing the music of The Police from Eugene, Oregon. The band was formed in 2022 by veteran musicians who are fans of Gordon, Andy, and Stewart who have known each other through the local music scene for years. Their unique brand of entertainment fuses the mojo of the greatest band in the world with faithful drum, guitar, and bass parts which feature Kaisa’s vocals while bringing the energy that made The Police famous. They play all the hits and many deep cuts that will make you want to get up and dance. Outlandish d'Amour are currently accepting bookings and would be thrilled to be the life of your next party. Best of all, they actually get along and have never had a fistfight backstage, which is more than we can say about the band who inspired them!

The Players


Kaisa

Kaisa was born in 1960’s Los Angeles to a family of artists and musicians. As a child she attended the Monterey Pop music festival and traveled to Woodstock with her parents on a converted school bus where they lived for a summer at Bob Dylan’s place. Growing up in dance and musical theatre, she began singing professionally in the early eighties. Kaisa performed with original and cover bands over the years, spanning many genres. She enjoyed a center stage experience for several years during the epic 90’s Seattle scene, and helped launch the all female AC/DC cover band Hell’s Belles. Subsequent projects included writing and producing a solo EP, festival and old-time gathering gigs as one of the Red Rose Girls, and now joyfully singing her heart out with Police cover band Outlandish d'Amour.
