Members msmooth Posted January 30, 2013 Members Share Posted January 30, 2013 I'm playing in a classic rock/oldies/country band. We played some bars and private (Moose/Elks) places. The guys in this band have all played together over the last 20 years, but this is the first time we have all played together at the same time. Our list of songs started with songs we all knew so we could get up and running quickly. Now we are playing once a month, looking for more and I (and the keyboard/co-lead vocalist) think we should get some new blood into our song selection. We are a 2 guitar, bass, keys and drums band with 2 male co-lead vocalists. I read these posts often and have learned much here to make our band better, so I really appreciate everyone's feedback.What songs that you guys play always seem to pack the floor?

Members The EAKLE Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Check out some songs by The Avett Brothers. They've got some really energetic stuff. Two male vocalists, two guitars or guitar/banjo, bass, keys, and drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members WynnD Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Moose Elks? My Wife refers to that as the "animal circuit". Not poking fun, we do it too. (Youngest member is 53.) Elks, Moose, Owls...... Nice folks into oldies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Austincowbell Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 Billboard has archives of their top 40 lists for many years. That's a good place to start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoundWrangler Posted January 31, 2013 Members Share Posted January 31, 2013 One observation: the traditional one-slow-song-per-set rule doesn't necessarily apply in the animal clubs. Make it two, and make them well-known selections; people will get up and dance, and that definitely provides a little priming for the uptempo stuff in the set.

Two male vocalists, two guitars or guitar/banjo, bass, keys, and drums. One of my favorite bands- I actually just got tickets to a show in May. But really? I'm assuming that MOST of the tunes would flop within 30 seconds in most situations.{censored}- I do solo shows and don't even do any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tlbonehead Posted February 2, 2013 Members Share Posted February 2, 2013 it doesn't apply in many situations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
