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.
Dark Star plays full shows from the Grateful Dead's Deadbase, Lez Zeppelin, an all female Led Zeppelin cover band plays both full shows, and favorite songs from the bands' repertoire, Pink Voyd provides more of a "concert going" experience by creating theatrical reproductions of past Pink Floyd concerts. While, the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, a well known Beatles cover band provides more of an impersonation when it comes to the group's presentation and musical styling.
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.
Those desiring to hire live entertainment may want to realize that a smaller line-up that plays a variety of music, is often less expensive than a tribute. Generally, this is because of the additional expense involved in setting up a big stage, or concert like performance. One of the best at doing concert like theater productions is that of Pink Voyd, a Pink Floyd Cover group out of Boston, Massachusetts.
Most people think of popular genres like blues, rock and roll, funk and soul and when looking for a cover band. It is rare one thinks of Frank Sinatra when thinking of a cover or tribute band, when The Ultimate Frank Sinatra is one of the most interesting line-ups doing covers in the world. It has even been reported that the audience often feels as if it were Old Blue Eyes himself.
Others like The Hightailers and Knight Ryder often have regular bookings at local clubs and restaurants. Knight Ryder is a local group that performs a wide range of hits from the 80s. The Hightailers, a gulf-coast rock and roll band has been playing every Thursday at one of Houston's most historic Mexican restaurant and music venues. As with Houston, Los Angeles also has an active live music scene while most people tend to think of it more as a film, and recording studio paradise.
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.
