When looking to book a band, there are several ways to do so. One such way is through a listing service. Online directory and listing services like GigMasters and others can help match those looking for musicians with a number of different line ups. There are so many LA Cover bands on the GigMasters site alone, the sky is often the limit for those looking to book live entertainment.
Unlike a counterpart, Dark Star Orchestra which is a pure tribute band, playing only full live shows, others play only certain tracks of an album. Whereas, Cubensis plays singles, albums and live shows. Since the group also plays full Grateful Dead album titles and shows, most refer to them as a tribute band.
Dark Star Orchestra is a cover band dedicated to all things Grateful Dead. In the beginning, the band only played live show. The fans created somewhat of a contest always trying to guess what show the band would cover next. While Knight Ryder, Pot Roast and others play great cuts from the Grateful Dead but also cover a wide range of other artists and titles.
When deciding whether to hire a cover, or tribute band, it is important to realize that tribute bands are most often going to have the highest fees and guarantees. These fee increases are most often added because of the extra work that goes into setting up such an elaborate performance.
Musicians working for tips can also make the lime-light, take Brother Rabbit and Tracy Chapman for example, both of whom used to play in local subway stations for tips. Now, both have major releases and have toured both nationally and internationally. Still, both often return to Boston and play for the fans who were regular tippers in Harvard Square and the Red Line, in Boston.
When most think of cover groups, classic rock often comes to mind. Or, musicians just learning how to play; When actually, some of the best talents in the world are involved with various cover and tribute groups. Take for example the remaining members of The Grateful Dead, who just closed out one of their most incredible spin-off bands, Furthur, a band which sounds more like the original Grateful Dead than any other to date.
There are also rural areas in which talent exists, but on a much smaller scale than in the bigger cities. These individuals are often found performing at local clubs and festivals. Although, rarely do these individuals, or smaller groups make it big outside local areas. For those who do, it is an honor to be cherished and appreciated for all time, as again it is one that is also quite limited.
Any musical group living in Los Angeles has no reason to be out of work, that is if the band is truly talented. In fact, there are far more clubs and other venues looking for musicians than musicians looking for gigs in the area. As such, websites like GigMasters can be very beneficial in connecting those seeking artists, with artists looking for gigs.
