My Classic Rock band needs more "new rock" like Lit, Weezer

[MrDOS]

We are courting a new place to play. The stuff that goes over well at this new venue are tunes like:
Flagpole Sitta
The Middle
Hash Pipe
Own Worst Enemy

We play all of these already - All of these were stolen from other local bands that play newer stuff than us. Can anyone recommend some things along the same lines that are going over well where you are? We are a three piece, so it will have to be simpler songs that don't require two or more guitar parts or heavy keys.

Thanks!

Need to be standard tuning? Up tempo or not?

The White Stripes- Seven Nation Army
Wolfmother-Woman
Jet-Are You Gonna Be My Girl
Foo Fighters-Everlong
Them Crooked Vultures-Mind Eraser No Chaser
Spacehog-In the Meantime
Toadies-Possum Kingdom

[MrDOS]

Thanks for the help! We are standard tuning, but I can drop-D on one of my basses. Up-tempo is best - like Basket Case (only a little newer)

i will check out those that you listed. I must admit, a few of them do not ring a bell, so if you have artist names, that will be awesome for this geezer!

[MrDOS]

I know there's some 30-ish folks here in cover bands that can help a geezer out
What's working for you?

[Deluge Of Sound]

So you want uptempo hits from 98-2004 ish?

Violent Femmes--Blister in the sun is a given.

Some friends of friends play in a 90's cover band called The Whatever, I'll see what they're getting the best reactions with.

Yes, specifically what's working in the clubs where you are. I'd like to try not to clone too many of the bands here in Colorado to avoid saturation.

[fourfinger]

Machine Head (Bush)
Santaria and/or What I Got (Sublime)
1985 (Bowling for Soup)
All Star (Smash Mouth)
Counting Blue Cars (Dishwalla)

Not certain they fit all your criteria but they go over very well.

So far, we are working up Velvet Revolver "Slither" and Blink 182 "All The Small Things."
Still looking to hear what packs the dance floor where you are!
