There's nothing creative about duplication. So you have to look at things from some financial standpoint, as much as that bites. Hoosicr Daddy has been playing for about a year and a half now. What i mean is, although there is a lot of work that has to be done for each kind of bond, cover bands usually have less because they're not writing original music, gigs come easier, and shopping for a label is not a major concern. Plus, you can have a cover band that just plays weekends and practices once a week to learn new songs, and it can run smoothly.
Creativity is praised.
Playing a cover can be extremely creative if you can play it differently than the original and make it sound as good, maybe better. We just play what we like. But we don't like to do too many cover songs . My own opinions about cover songs and cover bands are varied. There is nothing wrong with playing covers.
