When you’re in a band you’re constantly thinking about balance: balance between practice and performance; balance between instruments; balance between writing new songs and perfecting old ones – you get the point.
As we’ve learned in Madame Psychosis, you also need to balance your original material with covers to appeal to a wider audience during live gigs. As Will Ferrell so eloquently put it in Blades of Glory, “it get’s the people going”. This can’t be more true of cover songs.
Here are a few of the cover songs we’ve been performing at our shows in Toronto. If you like what you hear, come check us out at our upcoming shows.
“Gimme Shelter”, by Rolling Stones
July 23rd, 2018 at The Horseshoe Tavern
“Black Velvet”, by Alannah Myles
