OldGit Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 What's your target audience, band look 'n feel, style, venue type? Do you have to attract the audience yourself or does someone else do that? What's your line up? What do you like playing? Cheers OG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd suggest raiding the songbooks of all the three piece bands for their big hits: The Who Zed Zed Top The Jam Free Bad Co Queen I've seen a band with your line up do some off the wall things that work really well too: Sweet Nothings (by Brenda Lee) Reet Petite and Gone (Loius Jordan) Caledonia (BB King version) Poppa was a Rolling Stone Move on Up Cheers, OG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bidd Posted October 14, 2007 Share Posted October 14, 2007 With the Blues band we used to be, with two guitars, keys and a bit of sax: Jimi Hendrix - Hey Joe Eric Clapton - Old Love Rolling Stones - Miss You Howlin' Wolf - Killing Floor BB King - The Thrill Is Gone & a couple of originals Now, with our restructured band just bass, drums, guitar, vox (as our guitarist stated, "we are now like a power trio, but with 4 of us") Jamiroquai - Deeper Underground Santana - Black Magic Woman Gary Moore (I think) - Oh, Pretty Woman David Bowie - Let's Dance James Brown - Play That Funky Music Plus others we have yet to decide, and a couple of the previous ones I did suggest Aeroplane by the Chilis, just so I can solo, but wouldn't go down brilliantly by an average audience I reckon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phaedrus Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 Tinman - looks like we could nearly dep for each other at a moment's notice! This is the set-list for our last gig. We don't really take a break except for the house DJ to announce what the drinks specials are and that the night club is opening soon or stuff like that. Note: The capitals doesn't mean I'm shouting - I just copy/pasted from our set-list. 1. I DON'T WANNA BE - GAVIN DEGRAW 2. HEY JOE - JIMI HENDRIX 3. BEFORE I FALL TO PIECES - RAZORLIGHT 4. WHEN YOU WERE YOUNG - THE KILLERS 5. SOMEBODY TOLD ME - THE KILLERS 6. LONGVIEW - GREEN DAY 7. ALIVE - PEARL JAM 8. I PREDICT A RIOT - KAISER CHIEFS 9. RUBY - KAISER CHIEFS 10. INSIDE - STILTSKIN 11. FANTASY - THE BLIZZARDS 12. YOU ARE ALL THAT I HAVE - SNOW PATROL 13. DAKOTA - STEREOPHONICS 14. HUSH - KULA SHAKER / DEEP PURPLE 15. DRAMA QUEEN - SWITCHES 16. BOHEMIAN LIKE YOU - DANDY WARHOLS 17. SUBURBAN KNIGHTS – HARD FI 18. SAVE TONIGHT - EAGLE EYE CHERRY 19. SNOW - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 20. DANNI CALIFORNIA - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 21. YOU SHOOK ME ALL NIGHT LONG - AC/DC 22. NO-ONE KNOWS - QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE 23. SOLITARY MAN - HIM 24. ALL THE SMALL THINGS - BLINK 182 25. VERTIGO - U2 26. MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 2 - LIMP BIZKIT 27. KILLING IN THE NAME - RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE 28. BY THE WAY - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 29. MY WAY - LIMP BIZKIT 30. WHAT I'VE DONE - LINKIN PARK 31. MR BROWNSTONE - GUNS 'N' ROSES 32. SONG 2 - BLUR 33. THE SAINTS ARE COMING - U2 & GREEN DAY 34. MINORITY - GREEN DAY 35. HOLIDAY - GREEN DAY We also used to do these songs and sometimes pull a few of them out of the hat if the gig requires it, but we dropped them mainly cos either no-one knew them or we couldn't make them work. Sure, you get guys coming up saying "Slither was f*!king amazing, man!" and "I LOVED Times Like These!" But just 4 or 5 guys liking a song, no matter how much, isn't enough reason to keep a song in the set. 34. ROADHOUSE BLUES - THE DOORS 35. SLITHER - VELVET REVOLVER 36. TIMES LIKE THESE - FOO FOGHTERS 37. TELL ME BABY - RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS 38. LAST NIGHT - THE STROKES 39. STEADY AS SHE GOES - THE RACCONTEURS 40. HARD TO HANDLE - BLACK CROWES 41. TAKE ME OUT - FRANZ FERDINAND 42. BASKET CASE - GREEN DAY 43. STACEY'S MOM - FOUNTAINS OF WAYNE 44. BLACK NIGHT - DEEP PURPLE 45. WHEN A BLIND MAN CRIES - DEEP PURPLE 46. GIRLS & BOYS - GOOD CHARLOTTE 47. WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS - GREEN DAY 48. FLC/JUMP AROUND - FLC/STEREO MCs 49. WHITE WEDDING - BILLY IDOL 50. SHE SELLS SANCTUARY - THE CULT We're currently working on Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis, Pretty Fly by Offspring, Fat Lip by Blink 182, Lithium by Nirvana, Butterfly by Crazy Town, Back In Black by AC/DC, Land Of Confusion (Disturbed's version) and I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor by Arctic Bastards (I hate them). Me & the drummer are also learning 11 of my mate's original songs to record in January. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
