redbandit599 Posted April 21, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dmccombe7 Posted April 22, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BassBunny Posted April 22, 2017 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
