Who are you planning to play to? Where?

 

Reading here for a while now, I've come to realise that the starting point so often seems to be the songlist and not the audience.

 

Isn't that wierd?

 

How can you assess a songlist if you don't know what it's for?

 

I guess that the starting point is an assumption that "this is for bars", which in BWTB is a good starting point, but so often we've heard people describe vastly different crowds/exectations that really even "we'll be playing in bars" barely touches the range of what might make a good songlist.

 

I suspect that most often the approach is "let's get a good songlist then figure out where to play". Hey, that's what we keep doing. But it's suddenly struck me as "all backwards".

I'd say it has a lot of variety at the expense of some focus. As with any songlist, there's stuff on this one I hate. That's just personal taste, though...it's got some solid, well-liked stuff in there along with a few quirky choices.

Yeesh...kinda all over the map.

I just couldn't reconcile having CS&N, Everclear, and Incubus in the same set, even though I actually like those songs.

I think you would have a lot of people quickly losing interest, no matter how you ordered that set, it's so scattershot.

I would drop the daughtry song but I just think he is a douch, personal vendetta, sorry.

 

Other than that I think it is great to be all over the place. My band is diverse like that. We are a four piece all of us sing. We go from Alice in Chains to Prince. It is about the audience, but I can honestly say that I only hate about 8 of the songs we do and I can get through them only because the crowd loves them. ( She F'n hates me, VOMIT What I Got BEAT DOWN etc.)
