What's Unique About Your Primary Band?

[Bluewine]

What separates your band from the other bands in the areas you work in  ?

 

What do you have that others don't ?

 

If you were pitching your band to a prospect, what would be your bast selling point.

 

You can also add in areas where you think your band struggles.

Well our current album is The Seven Legged Groove Machine because at the time we were a 4-piece and the singer had recently had a motorcycle accident resulting in the lower half of his right leg being amputated. We’re now a 5-piece so the latest guy in worries about both legs.

 

But in the areas we work in, well for some reason we’re on the psychobilly scene even though we’re more of a garage punk band, so our USP (and is on our merch) is The Spacewasters, Not Psychobilly Enough.

I think the main distinction between us and other local bands is the gregarious personality of our band leader and her husband. They're both really good at working a crowd.

We don't play Oasis

We don't play Dakota

We don't play Sex on Fire

We don't play Mr Brightside

 

I think that sets us apart 😂

 

What we do play is 60s and 70s stuff that you will have likely heard of but that other bands don't do. Rock, prog and pop. We like doing stuff that is technically challenging and stuff that you wouldn't think a trio could do. That, and the guitar/vocalist has a great line in banter and amuses & entertains the audience. It's a lovely combination and I feel so lucky to be a part of it. I've been in bands with him for 40 years now

Excellent 

 

I've been surprised by what trios can do. I saw a trio cover " Eleanor " by The Turtles with all the harmonies.

"Punk" band:

We've got 2 bass players

We have added funk

Some of our songs are quite complex and have far too many notes 😁

 

Other (whatever it is!) Band:

All the other members apart from me have previously found some level of fame...

Sequencers and backing track

E-Drums

Big Bass grooves and Wall of guitar moments...

 

"Blues" band:

More funky than bluesey

Only blues band in the world that does a cover of Sylvester's "Do You Wanna Funk"

Only blues band in the world that does a song based on an Ornette Coleman's Prime Time song...

I can honestly say that our three-piece band must be in the ranking of worst-sounding clap-trap out there. I certainly wouldn't listen to us.
