Members msmooth Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 O.K., in another thread I got alot of ideas for country party songs that work, now what "cheezy" party songs seem to work for you that are not country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CliffordN Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 It seems like the more we try to avoid playing Mustang Sally, the more requests we get... But, that is really because Jitterbug dancing is so popular with the older crowds down this way... The most successful bands play a wide variety of music that covers a little of everything, but the up tempo stuff keeps the dance floors full! No one leaves the floor just because you change genre, as long as the beat is about the same!I haven't played for a young crowd in so long that I have to look up most of the songs listed here as hot! We are literally stuck in time, and no one cares. They like to the old stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members TIMKEYS Posted June 14, 2012 Members Share Posted June 14, 2012 O.K., in another thread I got alot of ideas for country party songs that work, now what "cheezy" party songs seem to work for you that are not country? We get good response out of Eagles stuff. peaceful easy feeling , take it easy, lyin eyes,, take ot to the limit. hotel california etc. Our shows are not typically dance shows ,,, they are drinknin shows for an older to mixed crowd. I would guess the good response from this stuff comes from , everybody had heard it , and not many bands pull it off. Its still cross over country. Tom petty stuff is good for us, as is hendrix. We target our demo and play their music. A young crowd doesnt get too excited about us other than we are a decent geezer band with a big catalog of music with a good sound. I think you just have to be the band that you are ,, and do a decent job on the material ... add lots of booze and most people can have a good time at our shows.

Their theory is the secret to all this is to be entertainers and not just a faceless band that plays music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members bigboy78 Posted June 15, 2012 Members Share Posted June 15, 2012 If the young kids can read between the lines of the lyrics, their parents have more problems than the band in the corner. Kids love that song. I could imagine the Wiggles doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
