Set List

[Billsnemesis]

Our band have done a very heavy version of Hit Me Baby and it went down a storm. It was one of those songs were people looked a little puzzled at first becaus they recognised it but couldn't quite place it. And then they suddently got it

We're looking at Abba stuff for exactly that reason.

The rest of our set is AC/DC, Sabbath, 'tallica, Green Day, etc.

Gigging is excellent, really enjoying getting back into it. Well it is excellent apart from lugging all the bloody gear about.

4x12 cabs are bloody heavy aren't they? Look impressive though, and saves miking up the amps.

We are currently adding some bits and bobs to our set list. In the past we've just played stuff we liked which means about half of our songs are pretty inaccessible to our audience. We have a proper pub gig in 6 Oct so I want to add some stuff to it that is..

Fun to play (and not overly tricky)
Not st (well not st when we've finished arsing about with it)
People might know.

I was hoping some of you lot might post your set lists so I can steal some ideas

Here is ours so far.

Lonely Boy Black Keys
Times like these Foo fighters
Save me Turin Brakes
Ramble on Led Zep
Fishermans Blues Waterboys
Boys don’t cry Cure
Fade Away Oasis
Chim Chim Turin Brakes
Whistle for the choir Fratellis
Jailbird Primal Scream
Dying Days Screaming Trees
Hush Deep Purple (actually more Kula Shaker)
Just Radiohead
I bet that…. Arctic Monkeys

We rehearsing tonight which will give us.

Trouble Ray Lamontagne
I predict a riot Kaiser Chiefs
Hit me baby Not quite Brittney!
Are you gonna be my girl Jet

We don't really want to get into a load of pure rock covers (I appreciate there are a couple in there that are leaning that way), and like covers that have been spun a bit (hit me baby is based on the travis version but is a but louder.)

Cheers

Some hopefully constructive feedback:

Not sure Turin brakes x2, screaming trees or "trouble" are going to get them jumping much, if,that's what you want

Some suggestions:
Zutons - Valerie is obvious one but I prefer pressure point
Killers - any of the early singles
Strokes - last night
Razorlight - golden touch
Klaxons - their cover of it's not over yet

And the absolute dead cert
The Coral - dreaming of you

The problem I'd have with a Razorlight cover is lending succour to Jonny Borrell who is a 24 carat. iron clad . I know he can write a good song, but he is a 24 carat, iron clad & copper bottomed . In short a . That's a .

[Adam B]

Know exactly what you mean, maybe do America then which was written by the drummer but because it became their biggest hit and Borrell is such a bell end he forced his name on the writing credits - knobber

[Turn7]

Mates pub band play the O'Neills chains with good feedback. They have a good but popular set list .

A couple if the stand outs that make people move are :

bulletproof - in a more pub rock stylee
Poker face - as above

It is constructive thanks. The Turin brakes was almost by accident and it is a lot more driven than the original. The Screaming Trees one is very odd. We have made it a lot shorter and keep trying to drop it, it will go soon I think. Trouble is going in to give people a break from their frantic dancing

Early Killers is on the list for later in the year, we just need to pick the track.
I hate Razorlight with a passion and don't like that Strokes song. The Coral is a good call, thanks.

I'm working on Hey Ya!.....

[Turn7]

Fratellis Chelsea dagger always gets them up as well.

[Justin Cyder]

Used to do Dakota in an old band. Always surprised me how that used to cross the generations & get everyone up.

[Turn7]

Good riff and a shouty chorus always works on the drunkards.... ;-)

[Justin Cyder]

I suppose. Always found it really boring to play, personally.

Johnny B Goode and anything by Quo get the crowd up too, they're not the most fun to play if you're on the rhythm part...

Last gig we had everything miked as the PA and sound guy came provided. Sadly not all pubs offer such facilities though the PA speakers we've bought should be able to handle it if required.

C. The above statement is factually correct in every single respect.

The correct answer is " C "
