Self explanatory title.
Been playing cover gigs live for the last 10 years or so, and now that I started recording my own original songs it just doesn’t make sense to drive 85 miles to rehearse and play gigs just to (excuse the Brazilian phrase that I took the liberty to put in English) “jerk other guys’s dicks”.
Not that I dislike playing my own heroes’ songs, but the effort of being in cover bands just doesn’t make sense anymore. And I’ll be more musically active than ever from now on.
Of course, I’ll still jam and have fun playing hits (including TFF jams, I hope), but I’m done with trying to chase my own tail with cover acts.
