How To Book LA Cover Bands
When one thinks of a musical line-up doing covers, people think of groups like the Beatles, the Grateful Dead, and Pink Floyd. Some of the biggest groups in musical history are now being covered by LA Cover bands. In fact, many even tour as the original line-ups did back in the day. Although, there are really two aspects to these new line-ups, music, and tribute.
Unlike a counterpart, Dark Star Orchestra which is a pure tribute band, playing only full live shows, others play only certain tracks of an album. Whereas, Cubensis plays singles, albums and live shows. Since the group also plays full Grateful Dead album titles and shows, most refer to them as a tribute band.
When it comes to tribute bands, there are those that play locally, nationally and internationally. Most often cover bands which play a variety of music from different bands and eras try to keep it local. Still, there are those whom even against such wishes find fame and fortune without intent. Two great examples of this would be Jersey Boys, and The Ultimate Frank Sinatra tribute band.
Whether desiring to book a band like Cubensis, or others, booking information can often be found either on the homepage of the band, or on a number of YouTube videos. When looking to book a national or international act, it is often best to do so as far in advance as possible. Whereas, while this is a good idea with local acts as well, most often local acts are going to have more availability than national or international ones.
Musicians who play music from different line-ups on the other hand often work for tips. At times, there are situations in which performers can request a percentage of the bar, and cover charge. These solo performers, duos and smaller groups often play a wide variety of music of past and present. Whether Los Angeles, Nashville, New York or other areas in which live music is popular, using a listing service to find live entertainment is often the quickest way to do so.
When most people think of groups which play covers, it does not always mean the band is dedicated to playing songs by only one group. In fact, most of these groups play a wide variety of music from different bands and eras. As such, there is generally one which can appeal to at least one individual and demographic.
There are cover and tribute bands which are almost as popular as their original counterparts, and those, which still work for tips. Some have the capacity to present full on rock concerts, while others still play in coffee houses and church basements. Regardless, fans of any big name act with a tribute band are going to attend regardless of the venue.
Any musical group living in Los Angeles has no reason to be out of work, that is if the band is truly talented. In fact, there are far more clubs and other venues looking for musicians than musicians looking for gigs in the area. As such, websites like GigMasters can be very beneficial in connecting those seeking artists, with artists looking for gigs.
