The general rule of thumb is start out as a cover band and when the band becomes tight enough then start working on original stuff. If you do a gig with nothing but originals and no one knows who the hell you are, you will sink faster than a fat woman at Lake Raystown



Nailed it. I like to write, but i also like seeing girls shake their asses, so I enjoy the cover band experience. Ganister writes and does covers, so i get the best of both worlds with this band.

Although it takes a certain crowd, and fan base for originals...starting off its a lot easier to get into venues playing covers...mixing in originals, getting fans, then introducing them to your own stuff....I dont know...its a toss up.
If your originals kick some serious tail..you would not need to throw out covers...kinda on the fence on this one
