We have been a little slack on posting lately, we are getting ready to gig. We have had an emergency and now we have a new Gig date of Saturday March 7, 2009, same place, Mcfairlawns.
Through the years, Farmertan has practiced together for the most part once or twice per month, and played countless shows with all types of cool bands. When we play a cover at one of our shows, you better believe we like it. Believe it or not, there was a Farmertan show where we played The Beatles’ “Hard Days Night,” “Last Dance with Mary Jane” and different hodgepodges of songs, and many bands do this, but if an original song has a part that kind of sounds like another song, well than sometimes you are obliged to break into that cover. Farmertan has a song, “Simple way” with a Coda that is dead on Cheap Trick’s “Surrender” – Many times I just start singing the Cheap trick part.
This weeks cover of the week is a walk down eighties memory lane, with a pair of indie garage rock beer goggles on. This was recorded in a 10 degree Farenheit band room at midnight. Hope you can get a smile listening to it. oh yeah, and go ahead and sing along.
Cuts like a knife/Summer of 69/Owner of a lonely heart/run to you/heat of the moment medley
