Covers and the crowd
January 15, 2007 | 4:18 pmI have made an observation about playing at clubs, restaurants etc. The three most important things to get the crowd going on the dance-floor is: variation, recognizability and groove. My band play cover rock, blues, funk and some softer songs. We decided early that we wanted to have variation in our songlist and many times people have commented on that. They like it! It also gives the possibility to tailor the song-list according to the situation. How fun it is to see how people rush to the dance-floor when they recognize a song. People love Mustang Sally, Jonny Be Goode and Credence. The third important thing is to create a good groove as a band. Even lesser known songs is appreciated if they have danceable rythm. It takes time to find the groove together as a band, but it surely pays off.
