Bay Area Orgers Come Ridicule My Show!

I'm playing The Bistro at B Street & Main in Hayward CA on Friday night 9:00-12:00.

My band does your standard variety classic rock, 50's to the aughts.

The Bistro serves a good variety of microbrews and wine, but not hard alcohol.

I'll be the one in the middle playing guitar & singing.

Come out and say hi, then go dancing at Club Rumors up the street--drag welcome.

Nothing else scheduled at the moment except a wedding. I know, it's last minute.

Man. Wish I could check you out, but I live all the way up in Santa Rosa and am beyond broke at the moment. Announce your next shindig and I should be able to make it! I spend most of my weekends in the Bay as it is.

Good luck. wink

That's sweet.

Did you know people still yell out "Skynrd!!" and "AC/DC!!" to cover bands?

Thanks, hopefully something else will come up soon, and I'll let you know sooner.

I'm honored you'd even think about it.

We did Sweet Home Alabama for a while just to shut people up, but I really felt like an idiot doing it.

I never really wanted to be in a cover band, and now I have to adjust to doing songs that are a bit more obvious than I might have chosen.

The great thing about it is that I get to play for 3 hours compared to bands doing their own material who get about 40 minutes. Also the songs are proven.

We'll throw one of mine in as well, though.

I can handle them, and the drummer can, but the bass player & other guitar player can't fake it that well.

The other guitar player is a bit reluctant, I can tell, so the songs I write for the band are kind of modeled after Prince. That way I sneak him in.

What Prince song should we do? I want to do more danceable stuff. The falsetto limits us, though.
