Average Jane's Latest Band Update

I haven't talked much about the band with which I'm currently singing, but things are going quite well. It's a four-piece (guitar, bass, drums and vocals), and we all seem to be equally professional, mellow and serious about learning our own parts.

We're still finalizing a name and trying to decide which songs to record for our demo while we get our set list worked up to the minimum 40 songs we'll need to play an entire evening. The first gig we have on the books so far is Saturday, December 12th at an American Legion Hall. If you've been wanting to see us but can't quite psych yourself up for the American Legion experience, I'm sure we'll be booked into plenty of normal bars around that time period and beyond.

Here's our song list so far:

Free - All Right Now
Ted Nugent - Free For All
Black Sabbath - Paranoid
Billy Idol - Mony Mony
Doors - Roadhouse Blues
ZZ Top - Thank You
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Higher Ground
Jet - Cold Hard Bitch
Three Doors Down - Kryptonite
Judas Priest - You Got Another Thing Coming
Red Hot Chili Peppers - Dani California
Beastie Boys - Fight For Your Right (To Party)
Stone Temple Pilots - Sex Type Thing
Bryan Adams - Summer Of '69
Bad Company - Can't Get Enough
Poison - Talk Dirty To Me
Audioslave - Like A Stone
Mountain - Mississippi Queen
Lit - My Own Worst Enemy
Green Day - Boulevard Of Broken Dreams
Thin Lizzy - Jailbreak
Kiss - Lick It Up
Buckcherry - Lit Up
Audioslave - Original Fire
Green Day - Brain Stew/Jaded
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy Train
No Doubt - I'm just a Girl
The Romantics - What I Like About You
Led Zeppelin - Rock and Roll
Jimi Hendrix - Purple Haze

So yes, it's a pretty random selection. A lot of the songs are the result of someone saying, "Hey, do you know this one?" which leads to a jam and consequently to another song being added to the list. I've been singing a lot of these songs since I was in high school.

Still, I'm having fun and l think the sets will go over well in bars. As soon as we've agreed on a name, I'll put up MySpace and Facebook pages and make sure to share them.

That is an awesome setlist. If I were local I would totally come see you guys. :)

This looks like a playlist from my iPod. You can never go wrong with 70's & 80's rock or metal. The new stuff is always fun, but the most head-bobs come from 20 years ago.

And - just - maybe one song from the Speedwagon?

Let us know when we need to get a sitter...
