I suspect we would play to more people if we played covers. However, it's hard enough getting your own songs right, never mind someone else's
PS. the album and video were completed before I joined.. :-( (on bass)
is it crazy how saying sentences backwards creates backwards sentences saying how crazy it is?

In duos/trios with my wife and colleagues, all originals. Sometimes I play Jewish weddings and we play Klezmer which is traditional music so it's technically a lot of "covers" but plenty of originals too.
My first band was originals and we played crap venues to empty rooms.
Now I mostly enjoy rowdy crowds of gig-goers singing and dancing to the music they all know.
Makes me forget for a little bit that just maybe I sold out......no wait, I just got old.
Tribute with the UK Crowded House Experience
Play keys for both
Makes no odds to me whether I'm stood on the same stage as the person who wrote the song or not if I'm honest, I usually have more freedom in the covers band.
2nd gig this weekend in lovely Harrogate
I'm in 4 covers bands, One (Superheroes) mainly classic rock, one (Marvels) mainly Brit Pop and one (Abstrak Stereo) request band that basically plays request from Billy Joel to Rag n Bone man and Melody Makers which is a new band put together for xmas gigs
Also in Kate-Bushka which is a Kate Bush tribute
Seems a lot but in 2016 and 2017 I was gigging in 8 bands so it's actually a reduced workload to what is was
Collision rock band
If anyone cares whether you're "playing the song right", you're playing to the wrong crowd. Probably all musos .
