everybody does it..

We started as a hippierock cover band, and are now working originals into the mix - the cover thing helped us establish ourselves, and now we go for the artistic side and fold in some originals, then more originals. and then we will be all originals with the occasional deep cut cover

 

Of course, this takes a while.

we play an all originals set ussually, but for some odd reason, we cannot end a gig with any other song then the pixies's "Where is my mind?"

 

we ussually make it a little more raw, like placebo plays it with frank black on the "soulmates never die" DVD.

 

for us; it's perfect. everybody knows it, but it's not too obvious. we ussually do a little break where there's just bass guitar, drums and a lot of oe-hoe-ing, were ou singer goes into the crowd to get everybody to sing allong. then into a grand finale with screaming guitars, banging drums and an oe-hoeing crowd.

 

 

god, do i LOVE that song!

Originally posted by curet30 Hi danny0816, I sing with a doowop group that's celebrating their 50th anniversary this year. The group has released roughly 50 original songs between 1956 to 1996 (last CD released in '96). However, we do cover other groups from time to time. We always close with Isley Brothers' 'Shout' at most of our concerts. Other songs we cover are: o Come Go With Me - Del-Vikings o Ten Commandments Of Love - Moonglows o I Believe - The Earls o Ain't Too Proud To Beg/My Girl - Temptations o Love Train - O'Jays This link will take you to my website; discography site with MP3 player: Earl Lewis &The Channels Discography
