Me and the boys played music for a party and now they don't want to pay us the full price.?

Can this matter be taken to court. We did sign an agreement but only between us.
Answers:
Yes, you can take them to court, but it might cost more for court than the bill. You say you "only signed an agreement between us."
Does this mean that no one but you and the people who hired you saw it? if yes, you might have a harder time getting your money. If it is just an agreement and not a real contract, you might have to just learn a hard lesson and never play music for these people again.
I don't understand what you mean by "only between us." If you had a contract, then go sue them.
Hey! Do you play that song called "THE WINDOW"?
Let me help you out.

Sorry. Me trying to be funny at 5am has about as much chance of you getting your $$$ back.
You should be suein dem up in dere. You be havin their signature and sh!t.
If you signed an agreement between you, then you can absolutely take this to court. Assuming that you lived up to your end of the bargain, showed up on time, played for the desired length of time. Not liking the music does not give them the right to not pay you the agreed upon price.

Assuming that the amount is less then $5000, you can sue in small claims court, where you need no lawyer. I don't know what state you are in, but here is a link for us here in California:

Every state has this, it is designed for just such claims. You did your job, you should get paid. If they didn't like it, it was their responsibility to know what they were hiring. Buyer beware...
All the answers above are correct. Yes, you can bring the case to court.

But what I will do is to whack them up after the lawsuit is over for causing all those inconvenience to me for bringing the case to court. Just a smll lesson to teach them to honour their words.
