the stench of cover bands now permeates the tri-state area.
what used to be an open forum for original music is now a graveyard of bad "tribute" bands.
as someone who spent years playing in bands, putting out records on independent labels and setting up shows any where we could, to see people mindlessly accept another lame ass band playing "the hits" is horrible.
these people are either "technical" musicians who can play anything, sort of talented people who couldnt write a song at gunpoint, or "sell-outs" from original bands who couldnt make it.
they all have one thing in common: THEY DO NOT WANT TO WORK A REAL JOB.
so keep supporting these losers when there are a thousand bands in this area with original music just waiting to be heard.
