redbandit599 Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 (edited) Hi all I'm in 3 bands currently, all in various states of disrepair - newest one is shaping up nicely though, 4 piece one guitarist (very good - and not one of 'those' guitarists), drummer (good and improving all the time), singer (male - very strong) - bassist gets by and hasn't been found out yet... All of us have done the 'lots of gigs' thing and so this is to do one or two pub gigs a month - but do them well. Want to give the punters a good night and get them involved. We are consciously picking quite a bit of current stuff and also trying to avoid the 'classic rock /90's Indy standards' that seems to dominate, though there is a few of these in the list. We sound rocky and give most stuff a bit of go. So, here's the set so far - there's a few old standards in there, so here's the question. What would [u]you[/u] add in? Need about another 7 songs really. Please take it as read that I appreciate any input and ideas - so have a big thank you in advance, rather than lots of little notes later [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]1.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Moves Like Jagger – Maroon 5[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]2.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Counting Stars – One Republic[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]3.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Boys of Summer – Ataris[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]4.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Figure It Out – Royal Blood[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]5.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Castle on the Hill – Ed Sheeran[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]6.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Human – Rag ‘n’ Bone Man[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]7.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Burn it to the ground – Nickelback[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]8.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]The middle (jimmy eat world),[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]9.[/color][/font][color="#000000"] [/color][/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Love it when you call (the feeling)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]10.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Breakout (foo fighters)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]11.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Second chance (shine down)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]12.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Adventure of a lifetime (coldplay)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]13.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Find me (kings of Leon)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]14.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Local boy in the photograph (stereophonics)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]15.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Shut up and dance (walk the moon)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]16.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Take back the city (snow patrol)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]17.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Best of you (Foo fighters),[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]18.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Place your hands (reef),[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]19.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]All the small things (blink 182)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]20.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Take me out (frans Ferdinand)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]21.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Wake me up (Avicii)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]22.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Dakota (Stereophonic)[/color][/font][/size] [size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]23.[/color][/font] [/size][size=3][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"] [/color][/font][font="Calibri"][color="#000000"]Bubbles Biffy (Clyro)[/color][/font][/size] Edited April 23, 2017 by redbandit599 Quote
FinnDave Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 I must be getting old, I don't recognise a single song in that list! Quote
leschirons Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Ramones.... Wonderful world. Lots of fun, well known song, crowd singalong big finish or encore. Quote
Thunderbird Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 7 Nation army would fit in well to that kind of set list imo Quote
mikel Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Brown Eyed Girl. Cant go wrong with that. Oh, and Agadoo, marvelous song. Quote
fretmeister Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Stevie Salas - Tell your story walking. The Commadores - Brick House. Quote
redbandit599 Posted April 21, 2017 Author Posted April 21, 2017 Been turning a few gigs down so far as need that full set polished - will let you know! Quote

Woodinblack Posted April 21, 2017 Posted April 21, 2017 Well, goes without saying, Sex on fire. But then maybe 'Need to be your only' - The strypes.? Quote
bazzbass Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Violent Femmes - Blister in the Sun never fails to pack the dancefloor. guaranteed Quote
Phil Starr Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 [quote name='redbandit599' timestamp='1492808926' post='3283465'] Well, I'm 49 you know... [/quote]Haha your kids must be around the same age as mine. It's already a set I'd go to see. Run. Snow Patrol Bang Bang Dirty Pretty Things Monster The Automatic Quote
dmccombe7 Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 Know some of them and based on that i would say this is already a good set list. Was surprised to see Rag & Bone Man in there with Human. That will be a fantastic song to play let alone hear at a gig. And i'm 57 so never too old to rock with young modern bands Dave Quote
BassBunny Posted April 22, 2017 Posted April 22, 2017 That's a cracking set list. A good few of those we do. Oh and I'm 68 so NEVER too old to play some new/fresh material. How about: Don't you Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia I'm a Believer - Smash Mouth version Cake By The Ocean - DNCE Stitches - Shaun Mendes Quote
