I'm playing a gig new year's eve

SpectralJulianIsNotDead · 12.17.2006, 04:31 PM

Some big thing, first time I'm getting paid. My friend's band that I was helping get back together got an offer to do 3 45 minute sets in a row with 15 minute breaks for 500 dollars, and he simply told the guy they couldn't do that, but he could bring in two other bands and split the money 3 ways. So lucky me. . .

I'm trying to think of some cool songs I could cover. I can definitely fill a 45 minute setlist- but I want some songs that are sort of New Year's Evesy, you know? If it was a Christmas thing, I'd probably just figure out how to play some Christmas songs and add my own touch to them. (I'm thinking about recording a version of "Christmas Time Is Here" from Charlie Brown Christmas and putting it up, but that is besides the point)

Any suggestions?

I'm thinking of doing 2 covers. . . maybe something WIRE, Mission of Burma, or Pavement. Something New Years Evesy, rocking, and fun but still in my stylistic range y'know?

Last show I sold 4 EPs for a total of 12 dollars. That's the most I've ever made.

I would, but the other local band I'm in used to do it, and we still do the chorus of Summer Babe as an outro to one of our songs.

Haha, I can't sing that!

Oh Shit, I know.

Man Or Astroman? - Calling Hong Kong. I'm definitely doing that one. Don't know if I can figure out that solo, but I'll try.
