You and your band

[Doctor J]

Just curious to see what everyone's gig is, seems to be a lot of covers and tribute players on the forums. What say you?

All covers !

[Low End Bee]

Originals. No covers at all.

[matski]

Originals with the odd cover thrown in.

[sshorepunk]

Originals, but throw the odd cover in, sometimes do a covers set (tomorrow night) but very rare! The covers are always changed to suit our style

[lanark]

Covers, but we're adding more originals (at the mo, roughly 75/25). The salsa dancers like to be able to name the odd tune. We're gradually increasing the number of originals though and rotating the covers too as we get more and more repertoire and the band slowly writes more material of our own.

It's all famine or feast with you.

Only played seven gigs so far, but they've all had a couple of originals in...working more of them into the set as fans (or rather, the other band members and the friends we bring along) become more familiar with them...at the moment it's about a 50/50 ratio of covers to originals.

At least one of each right now, if that helps

[BigRedX]

I play in two. One is all originals with no covers even considered. The other is strictly covers played as close to the recorded versions as possible.

Yes, yes you can

[Cat Burrito]

I'm pretty much in the Originals with the (very rare) odd cover thrown in right now but I've had some great times playing with covers bands in the past. I tend to favour Originals bands as a rule but it depends on the music and the people in the band

Covers for me these days

[crez5150]

Covers with a dash of tribute thrown in

I like your style!

[mep]

Just covers with no originals. You might need to add this option. Also just originals with no covers as well?

[flyfisher]

Two bands; one is mostly originals, the other about 50:50 .
Also also working on some original recordings with a couple of mates.

[jezzaboy]

Totally covers. Not intrested in doing original material at all.

[NoLogic69]

All originals, no covers at all!

[Delberthot]

more originals than covers on the voting but more covers than originals on the posts in the thread?

[bigash]

Only covers.

[peted]

One band does mainly originals with some covers mixed in, the other band is a covers band.
