How very perceptive of you Angie, especially after having only seen us play twice! You're exactly right, we don't have much interest in doing covers by the book, but then again, that's what makes them covers: the songs we cover are our takes on the songs, not the original artists' versions. We try to find songs that have a lot of possibilities for our particular arrangement (bass, drums, keys, 2 guitars and 3 vocals). I'm not sure what we'll cover next, but we'll keep everyone posted here.
We do have a show on Friday, April 5 @ the Cabooze opening for the Domestic Problems http://www.domesticproblems.com. They're out of Michigan and have really been picking up some steam lately while on tour. It should be a lot of fun, we love to play the Cabooze and haven't for several months, so we're excited. We'll be updating the shows list soon, we're kinda waiting on confirmation for some other shows before we get into April postings.
