Britpop & Indie Rock Cover Band
BANGBay Area – Britpop ON& Indie Rock Cover Band
Bang On is a new Bay Area cover band, specializing in 90s Britpop Demo Tracks: (Oasis/Radiohead/Blur) , 80s Indie and Postpunk (The Cure/Smiths/Stone Roses), 70s Glam (Bowie/T-Rex), and hits from newer post-Britpop bands miniurl.org/BangOnSongs such as Franz Ferdinand (full list of covered bands below).
The band’s objective is to provide fans with the song variety of an indie dance club night combined with the excitement of a live show.
In the past year, Bang On has played in San Francisco at Café du Nord, The Red Devil Lounge , LiPo Lounge, Kimo’s, Cat Club, Milk Bar, The Knockout and Grant & Green Saloon in North Beach. In April, the band played a special and very successful Pulp concert after-party at Showdown near the Warfield Theatre.
Most recently, Bang On was the featured live act at Club Leisure, DEBASER and The Queen is Dead. Leisure is San Francisco’s premier Britpop club; DEBASER is SF’s best ‘90s alternative dance party and The Queen is Dead is the best Smiths night in SF. Bang On played all club sets to packed and
energized dance floors.
The band is a dynamic five-piece that brings a high energy show to enthusiastic, dedicated crowds of Britpop and Indie Rock fans who are under- served by a lack of bar and club bands paying tribute to these genres.
Bang On’s front man, Jake Chaplin is an accomplished singer and multi- instrumentalist. His vocal versatility makes him perfect to cover this diverse group of artists , from the gravel-toned sounds of Oasis to the high notes of Radiohead. Jason Spath, Ian Jones and John Holloway have been performing in San Francisco bands throughout the last decade, and Mark Sharp is a veteran South Bay bassist.
The experienced members of Bang On have the stage presence, chops and performance ability to keep a crowd of Britpop and Indie Rock fans dancing and wanting more, through to last call.
The band is looking to develop ongoing relationships with bars, clubs and
concert venues throughout the Bay Area in order to implement a regular rotation of area shows. The members of Bang On are committed to doing the promotional work needed to ensure a great turnout.
Bands covered include: Oasis, Blur, Pulp, Suede, Echo and the Bunnymen, David Bowie, The Cure, The Smiths, Morrissey, The Stone Roses, The La’s, James, The House of Love, Franz Ferdinand, The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Strokes, T-Rex, New Order, Elastica & Radiohead (with even more to come).
