Tribute, Cover or Originals. What type of band are you in

pintspiller

Cover band. Probably over a dozen gigs a year.

mudslide73

Covers. 15-20 gigs a year.

Grunfeld

Covers -- most weekends (although not tonight, boo!)

Tribute -- Hawkwind/ Bob Marley crossover, Natty Space Ritual -- not so much work tbh

Oh I hope that’s a real thing, and more successful than my failed ska mash up project Radioskinhead.

Nice one, that rings a bell and I may have seen you in the early 80s, but it's all a bit of a blur if I'm honest!

We are a covers band, BUT we only play the stuff we like...!! Stuff the audience...

Have a wiz from me. All together now...  "Do we look like a f***king requests band? "

Covers, but only ones we want to and do in our own way - sort of garage-rock-punk - like an originals band, only one where the audience knows all the songs.

"That song doesn't have fuzz bass on it."

"It does now..."

that sounds fun.

Covers and love it. Annoys me when I hear “you’ve sold out/it’s so cheesy/can’t you write your own/I couldn’t play someone else’s songs/must be boring playing same songs/blah blah blah”
Yeah it gets so boring being able to get a room full of people up singing, dancing and really enjoying themselves - just escaping from their day to day shit for a few hours. And i get to play the opening notes to Sweet Child O’ Mine, hear the crowd cheer every single time and I get to be Slash for 5 mins!!

Covers.

I was in an originals band last year - it was fun for a while but it soon wore thin, when the new singer stopped learning lyrics and the bassist kept binning songs that weren’t about his innermost demons or ex missus...

Grocer_Jack

Originals - jangly 60's-ish with a bit of added garage/psyche.

We also have plenty of covers so we can do the whole night if reqd.
