Re: Art VS. Commerce (or how I learned to stop worrying and love reverb)

Jacob Dobner (jacobdobner) - 10 Oct 2005 15:59:21

We play a large majority of original tunes at our shows. We do play a
couple covers but nobody in our audience recognizes anything but
Misirlou and even then that is nowhere near the majority of the
audience. Our audiences don't really know anything that we are
interested in. They love us anyway since we are different and "retro".
Covers we do with regularity are:
Misirlou
Squad Car
Pipeline/Sleepwalk Jam
I'm Happy Just to Dance With You
Somebody's Crying
and Don't Worry Baby
Pipeline and Sleepwalk have been recognized once or twice. Nobody has
ever know both of the songs though. And we had somebody who thought
they recognized Somebody's Crying, which is a Chris Isaak song.
We are in Seattle. I don't know where Danny is from, since this thread
is originally about him starting a band, but depending on where you
are from and what your audience is going to be you really don't have
to learn very many covers.

See this post in context.
