Sample Car-E-Oke car magnet

Car-E-Oke is a mobile party that is run from on vehicle that runs the karaoke an broadcasts it using an FM broadcaster so any vehicle with a car stereo in range can tune in.

Car-E-Oke can be further enhance by displaying the karaoke text in the control vehicle using a monitor or a projector and allowing people in other vehicle to sing using wireless mics. I have tried it using a cellphone call in, but the feedback loop causes some technical complexities. Any FM radio within range can, however, tune in and listen which can make getting stuck in traffic a lot of fun.

A Car-E-Oke party can also end up at a location where the vehicle(s) park, open the doors and use the combined output of the car stereos as the sound system for the karaoke bar.

Note how the sound stays constantly amazing as I walk with the camera from the floor (as the audience hears it) to the stage (as the singer hears it).

This video is of Scott from the SF Karaoke Mafia club singing Beauty School Dropout from Grease. He is singing from the floor in front of the house speakers and the sound is excellent both on stage and off stage. The acoustics are great so I can typically avoid feedback problems even in cases like this.

I think I can safely claim that the karaoke Wednesday is one of the best sounding karaoke nights in San Francisco, especially when you consider both the audience and the singer experiences.
