Finally in a cover band: Phobic - Page 11

Undertoad · 07-24-2007, 11:44 AM

When we win, we'll get $3000 cash for equipment, two free days in a studio, and 4 gigs as the "house band" for which we'll get $800 each time.

We have plenty of gear, it's the gigs that are meaningful, and the title. We need to bring more people out in order to get bigger and better bookings. This would accomplish that... probably.

I had no idea about the White Stripes "issue".

...how would you guys use this? I mean, you can't release an album of cover songs without buying a completely different set of rights to the songs. Is the assumption that all the bands in this contest also have original material they're working on, or is it maybe useful to have recordings of yourselves not for sale but for promotional purposes?

Undertoad · 07-24-2007, 01:00 PM

We do have originals, but we'd probably record covers for our own demo purposes. In two days, we might be able to record 1 - 2 songs.

We recorded "25 or 6 to 4" in the loft of a barn to get into the semi-finals.

We have really worked hard and improved massively over the last six months, and this is the result of that.

Phobic's link on the WMGK page is broken, not that you can do anything about that ...

Yeah, "under construction".

wolf · 07-25-2007, 01:41 AM

I'm getting "Server not found."

xoxoxoBruce · 07-25-2007, 01:48 AM

Hmmm I'm getting this and the language in the box changes every few seconds.

Congrats - UT

The Phobic link, on the MGK site, is working now.

jester · 07-26-2007, 02:16 PM

You guys have an awesome list of cover songs. Something for just about everyone.

Undertoad · 07-26-2007, 07:08 PM

I actually bought and configured the misspelled domain name in case they didn't fix it.

Thanks jester -- that's the goal. (Actually the goal is to find the right mix of stuff that the drinking general public will like; it's the bar owners who eventually hire or fire us.)

Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away.

Our set:

25 or 6 to 4
Bye Bye Love
Takin Care of Business
Radar Love

"Business" is the required song for all four bands to play. We have developed our own arrangement that is faster and doesn't include the boring middle section where they repeat the words "takin care of business" until you want to vomit. We hope the other bands leave this section in.

Our 25 or 6 to 4 and Radar Love are very strong and we hope to open and close "big".

We will be winning this semi-final and moving on to the final in two weeks.
