Did you know that the Rolling stones kicked off their incredible career releasing 3 albums with mostly covers before recording one with their own original songs? At the time, they could have been named as a cover band as they played and interpreted other artists' songs. Let's get a tour of the cover bands on Gigstarter.
Range of Cover bands
Nowadays, you can hire multiple kinds of cover bands: 60s, 70s, pop, rock, blues and so on. Even if cover bands play other musicians' songs, they still have their own identity by adding new transitions and new arrangements to the original versions. The covered songs are still recognizable by the audience but are made up with a little twist. Some bands such as Jonas Brothers or Red Hot Chili Peppers, kicked off their fantastic careers replicating other musicians' songs.
Cover band VS Tribute Band
What's the difference between these two formations? Well, a Tribute act tries to mimic and replicate someone else's songs as good as the flagship band. If the icons are no longer around, it’s the opportunity to experience a lookalike show again.
On the other hand, you can find original bands writing, composing their own melodies and lyrics.
Pop/Rock Cover band can work but for a type of event?
Pop/rock cover bands can fit for all kinds of private or public events. When it comes to making people of all ages dance, sing a cover band is a perfect act to hire.
Whether it is for private events such as an outdoor garden party, a birthday, your wedding, a cover band will be the ultimate party band. The same factors can be applied to organizing a public event such as in a bar or a restaurant to create an ambiance for people after their dinner.
