I'm gonna disagree with that....Hairball, Uncle Chunk, G.B. Leighton (I'm sure I'm missing others) all draw crowds and play every weekend. That's why they're paid the way they are.

And....we play 'Your Love' every night...always goes over. I think it's cause Cities 97 still plays it all the time.

[TwoTubMan]

Four hours of Barry White.

Biggest thing going right now with College age kids........

A mash-up of "Wicked Game" and "White Wedding"

Really...........

[LP Deluxe]

One thing our band has noticed recently is the college age kids who show up between 11 and midnight and stay till close all want to hear classic rock. Squeeze Box, Honkey Tonk, Black Magic Woman, Shakin all Over and Summertime Blues (more The Who versions than the originals), etc. I asked a couple of them on a few occasions why they like the old stuff that my generation listened to and not new stuff...they said all the new stuff was shite. So we play alot of Motown/R&B stuff at the beginning of the night for all the middle age folk (...cougars...) then it gets heavier as the night goes on and the crowd gets younger.

Yup. First time I busted out Baby Now That I Found You/Build Me Up Buttercup solo acoustic, I had people dancing in a place where people don't dance. It has that effect. Not to mention, you can almost always get enough people to sing the "ooh"s with you.
