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.

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...

You're unlikely to find any real funk
Unfortunately, real funk isn't very popular!
But this is real funk, and only a year old... Good luck with the rap, though I'm, sure arrangement could lose or alter it.

No worries!
There's this one too, but a touch further... At a proper "Arts" venue too!
