    songs a little more obscure

    I asked for a covers set for a funk band influenced by early 80s goth - this would be a surprisingly interesting one!

     

    Set List

    "Let's Dance" - David Bowie

    Duration: 4:08

    This classic track has a danceable groove and Bowie's distinctive style, making it a perfect opener.

    "She Sells Sanctuary" - The Cult

    Duration: 4:23

    This song’s driving beat and ethereal guitar work align well with both funk and goth influences.

    "Superstition" - Stevie Wonder

    Duration: 4:26

    While primarily a funk song, its dark, superstitious themes give it a subtle goth edge.

    "Bela Lugosi's Dead" - Bauhaus

    Duration: 9:36

    An iconic goth track with a minimalist, hypnotic groove. Perfect for a darker, extended jam session.

    "White Lines" - Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five

    Duration: 7:25

    Funky and rhythmic, with a darker, cautionary lyrical theme that complements the goth vibe.

    "Personal Jesus" - Depeche Mode

    Duration: 4:56

    A synth-heavy track with a strong beat and dark, introspective lyrics.

    "Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" - Parliament

    Duration: 5:48

    Pure funk energy with a darker edge, ensuring the set maintains a strong groove.

    "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy Division

    Duration: 3:27

    A melancholic yet rhythmic track that bridges the gap between funk and goth influences perfectly.

  2. Just done my "blues jam" in the local church... We were meant to noodle for 1/2 hour to get other folk to come along and play too but ended up doing 2 hours. A bloke joined in on harmonica too so it all worked quite well despite every "song" being based on a groove I started. We even managed a little blues guitary version of Sylvester's "Do Ya wanna Funk", which is probably one of the only times it's ever been played in a church!

    Used the ACG into Helix/BBE pre/DBX comp/Crown Power/Markbass 2x10, sounded funky...
