Covers Bands - The Untold Story

Covers bands are bands that 'cover' or in other words 'copy' other bands' songs.

They are the bands that play the songs you know and love at parties.

In a way you could say covers bands entertain drunk people.

You could also say they are the unrecognized hard-working musicians that live and work amongst the masses, as necessary as the caterer and the barman, as enjoyed as the best mans speech but usually forgotten the moment the night is over.
