We're playing a show at a club in Tulsa in early August that has a 3 cover minimum policy. They are really serious about booking bands that play original music!<br /> <br /> We only know about 5 cover songs anyway, but need them all to pad a 2-hour set. <br /> <br /> I guess we better write some new stuff before August! (:oD |

The minimum you can play is 3 covers? That would imply that they want to limit originals, no? My blood sugar's low right now, so walk me through this. |

They prefer 100% original music, but will allow a minimum of 3 cover songs.<br /> <br /> Our covers don't sound like the record, but I guess that doesn't matter. |

I think you mean to say 3 cover MAXimum, yes?<br /> <br /> I actually like that policy. Wish more clubs could make that work.... |

Wow. I guess the ASCAP/BMI/SESAC Gestapo have finally gotten their way with club owners. |

Yeah, max makes more sense, I guess I didn't get enough sleep last night. (:oD<br /> <br /> All of the clubs we play cater to original music. |

"All of the clubs we play cater to original music."<br /> That's great. Where I live, playing original music means sitting on a stool with a flatop on rare afternoon gigs and a lot of time at home. |

Just play your two best songs twice. |

I wish more clubs in my area allowed bands the opportunity to play mostly original tunes. Everything is "covers". Some worse than others. |

Here in NE Ohio it seems "tribute" bands are the big thing.Easy to have a following without building a fan base. I like doing covers, but a trubute band doesnt appeal to me in the least. |
