It would have been interesting to see if they had started out day 1 as just an originals band as opposed to playing the covers circuit first. That seems to be how they built their following, then started putting in their own songs into the set.<br />I think that band Vallera have the right idea. They play in a covers band under a different name, therefore keeping the two separate. So when they play as Vallera, it's all original music.<br />That's the problem. You get known as one or the other, and it's hard to shake it off. I'd be pissed off with people shouting up at me to play a covers song at a gig. No matter what type of version you do, it's always going to be someone else's song. I suppose you can get away with one or two coves in a set. Anymore than that, and you need to be questioning the amount of original material you have, or the strength of that original material.

Interesting to see how their debut album goes.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05274523930301537880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2483947459732894605.post-53126659082408592472013-03-06T11:57:54.310+00:002013-03-06T11:57:54.310+00:00Biggest cheer of the night was for Cosmic Love?

I'd be well pissed off if the biggest cheer of the night I got was for someone else's song.<br /> <br />Not sure if they are known more as a "covers" band or as an "original" band, but with their support base the size it is now, it probably doesn't even matter at this stage! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
