How To Form Las Vegas Cover Bands

By Janine Hughes


A cover band and a tribute band are two very different things even though most people confuse the twp and use the other in place of the other. A cover band refers to a group of musicians that come together to entertain crowds but they do not play original music but play music that has been originally recorded by other famous musicians. They play at small venues such as pubs and parks for a small fee or just free food or bar privileges. These Las vegas cover bands are very popular among the young group mostly.

When one is throwing a party and they want live music to entertain their guests they can choose from the many bands available at Las Vegas, NV. All they have to do is look around and once they have found one, give them a list of the songs they should play during the party. It may be a birthday party or even a wedding party.

Some of the very famous and well known groups out there started this way before they could record their own original music. The musician just has to put in effort and be dedicated to what he is doing and may be at the end of it he will record an album of his own. Some musicians have hard to record up to three cover albums before they could record their originals.

Joining or forming a cover band of your own is very easy because there are no requirements that you have to fulfill. All one has to have is an angelic voice and the ability to learn songs fast. The voice does not have to be perfect but just close to it. One secret that most successful ones have is choosing a genre that they are most comfortable with and perfecting it.

To succeed in anything one must first lay out a plan for how he or she is going to tackle the task ahead. The first step in your plan is writing down on a piece of paper the songs that you are most conversant with. Then look at the list critically and remove from the list the songs that are not popular and are not played often. This helps in eliminating the songs that will be a waste of time.

Having decided on which genre of music you are best at and you are comfortable with, look at you list once more and remove all those that are not within your selected genre. Knowing the structure of the song is also very vital.

Next step is looking for the original version of the song listen to it severally till you are sure that you have it at your finger tips. If you come across a difficult song, just let it and go on to the next easy one.

Having done all the above you are now ready to go and look for a band to join. Ensure that you go out for auditions and do not shy away. Also look at the section for classified and also at the bulletin boards around.
