“Bring the gang along!” Can you guess how someone said this in French? (#1096)

There’s an ad running on the radio (from a restaurant, I think — I only caught part of it) where the speaker invites listeners to bring all their friends along. She says an equivalent of:

Bring the gang along!

Can you guess how she said this in French?

Métro Place-des-Arts, à Montréal [février 2016]

Métro Place-des-Arts, à Montréal [février 2016]

She said:

Amène ta gang!
Bring the gang along!

Gang is a feminine noun; it follows English pronunciation. Here, it’s used in the sense of a group of people (usually friends, co-workers, etc.).

Amener is often used in the sense of to bring. We saw other examples of amener here in #872, where I posted some overheard language said by a group of women in their 60s in a food court.

Amène une chaise.
Bring a chair.

Amène-moi un biscuit.
Bring me a cookie.
