Punk O' Rama
Every once in a while in London promoters try to put on this thing called "Coverfest"
The idea being that its a show where bands have to learn a set of covers from one band. So you end up with a show of cover bands.
The problem being that everytime they try and organise it people always seem to want to do it but never can get there asses in gear.
In any case, I was thinking the other day, everytime they annouce it everyone always jumps on the same bands to cover,
its always
Ten Yard fight
Gorilla Biscuits
Minor Threat
Judge
and the like
Anyways, i was thinking if they do organise it this year, what would I get my band to cover?
and it hit me that I would basically do something that people would identify with and not just cause Im trying to be cool
So I thought.....
Awoken covering classic Fat Wreck bands
....Basically because EVERYONE liked Fat Wreck bands and if you say you didnt your a fucking liar
So here is my tentative 10 song setlist
Alien 8 -- Lagwagon
Beer Goggles -- Lagwagon
--------------------------
Solitaire -- Strung Out
Steps -- Good Riddance
--------------------------
I'm Trying -- Face to Face
Justified Black Eye -- No Use For a Name
Misunderstood -- Screw 32
---------------------------
Stickin' In My Eye -- NOFX
I Want -- Face to Face
Rotten Apple -- Strung Out
I know every person would have a different variation of what to play, but that was my initial thoughts.
What you think.
Also I realise that technically NOFX are not a Fat wreck band, but there singer owns it and they have appeared on several compilations, so I think they are fair game
