The Secret Agents Band is one of many that are performing at Disney California Adventure during Disney Festival of Holidays. This band performs the sounds of the 1960s Jazz, Cinema, Pop, Rock and R&B. All of this is put with the groove and story of each of them being secret agents, who just so happen to also be in a band.
This week, The Secret Agents released a new single with The Stain Dollz of Sleigh Ride. It features an arrangement by Sean O’Kelley and the leading vocals of Mark Kopitzke. He is joined by The Satin Dolls who brought their own musical arrangement of their vocals to this collaboration. It can be heard below.
