While Chicago is probably the worst "Big City" for local music, there's a ScroogeMcDuckload of cash available for cover bands out in the West Suburbs. For this reason, I am always talking about forming a cover band of one sort of another (90's college rock cover band, Talking Heads tribute act, Weezer cover band with non-traditional instrumentation).
Unfortunately, it's all bluff and no stuff. I have little enough time to divide between the two bands I'm already in, and though they might not be fiscally sound, each band has a distinct vision, and to try and shape one of them into a generic cover band would compromise what the group is trying to achieve.*
Thus, My Talking Heads tribute act remains the most distant of all four stars. It's out there somewhere, but all it does is shine. And silently fart.
