Demo of our cover band...

There's a bunch of new clubs opening up around town and they all want a demo kit. Apparantly, being together as a band for 29+ years isn't good enough for them, go figure.

So, we spent an afternoon in a studio, had a buddy come to a gig and take a bunch of pictures, and this is what we ended up with.

Let me know what you guys think. We're not the second coming of The Beatles, but we're having a good time and are still gigging almost 30 years later.

Sounds good, Glen. Clean mix, good variety of up and mid-tempo, and it gets the point across.

However, the important questions are, can you guys set up at 2 in the afternoon so you don't bother the dinner crowd, will you take a post-dated check, and how many people are you bringing for the wait-staff to ignore?

Very nice. My only critique is you could squeeze a lot more song samples in if you shorten each one to about 20 seconds each and making sure the hook from each song is included.

Ain't that the flipping truth!?!?!

i don't particularly disagree with this. however, i still thought it was a terrific demo of a really good band, and i think people would book your band based on it.

Thanks, that was the ultimate goal. We only paid $300 for four hours of studio time, so we didn't have the luxury of doing a bunch of songs. We went budget all the way as a means to an end - gigs in the new rooms in town.

Appreciate the kind words as always.
