Been playing in pubs doing the rock thing for a lot of years now. I love it and would pretty much would turn up to play at the opening of an envelope if someone asked me...
However we struggle with the perennial problem how do you keep the set list fresh whilst ensuring you meet the landlords requirements that you attract and keep punters to the venue to spend their hard earned..
Sex on fire, sweet child o mine, Dakota, rhcps, foos, killers, ACDC, muse, sandman! Bon Jovi, Coldplay, cult etc.. we can churn out all of them and they work.. We try and mix it up with some new stuff but I'd say we run at about a 30% success rate of new tunes that last more than a handful of gigs before we ditch them. Anyone got any left field suggestions that might be worth a go?
Comments
- A medley of the themes from Grange Hill and Rainbow
- No Air by Jordin Sparks (we usually do Halo by Beyonce as an 80s rock ballad but we'd done that last year at the same event)
- Baker Street with the sax melody played on guitar
- Donald Where's Your Troosers by Andy Williams; second-to-last song of the night and the dancefloor went crazy.
