When one thinks of a musical line-up doing covers, people think of groups like the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and Pink Floyd. Some of the biggest groups in musical history are now being covered by LA Cover bands. In fact, many even tour as the original line-ups did back in the day. Although, there are really two aspects to these new line-ups, music, and tribute.
Many of which play a variety of songs from different bands and eras. While there are other groups like Dark Star Orchestra, and Lez Zeppelin who are considered more tribute band(s, ) smaller line-ups are often far more popular in local areas. Unlike local bands, tribute bands often tour nationally and internationally on a regular basis.
Dark Star plays full shows from the Grateful Dead's Deadbase, Lez Zeppelin, an all female Led Zeppelin cover band plays both full shows, and favorite songs from the bands' repertoire, Pink Voyd provides more of a "concert going" experience by creating theatrical reproductions of past Pink Floyd concerts. While, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a well known Beatles cover band provides more of an impersonation when it comes to the group's presentation and musical styling.
When deciding whether to hire a cover, or tribute band, it is important to realize that tribute bands are most often going to have the highest fees and guarantees. These fee increases are most often added because of the extra work that goes into setting up such an elaborate performance.
Musicians working for tips can also make the lime-light, take Brother Rabbit and Tracy Chapman for example, both of whom used to play in local subway stations for tips. Now, both have major releases and have toured both nationally and internationally. Still, both often return to Boston and play for the fans who were regular tippers in Harvard Square and the Red Line, in Boston.
When most people think of groups which play covers, it does not always mean the band is dedicated to playing songs by only one group. In fact, most of these groups play a wide variety of music from different bands and eras. As such, there is generally one which can appeal to at least one individual and demographic.
Others like The Hightailers and Knight Ryder often have regular bookings at local clubs and restaurants. Knight Ryder is a local group that performs a wide range of hits from the 80s. The Hightailers, a gulf-coast rock and roll band has been playing every Thursday at one of Houston's most historic Mexican restaurant and music venues. As with Houston, Los Angeles also has an active live music scene while most people tend to think of it more as a film, and recording studio paradise.
Living and working in Los Angeles, can often be a challenge. Doing so is especially hard for up and coming musicians. These listing services can provide a great deal of work to those whom need it most. All one needs is for someone looking for live entertainment to make the first move.
