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

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

A synth-heavy track with a strong beat and dark, introspective lyrics.
"Give Up the Funk (Tear the Roof off the Sucker)" - Parliament
