UNDER COVERED Set List Peek - Part 2

This Sunday night, RFSL and The Eagle Rock Bowling & Drinking Club are presenting UNDER COVERED at All-Star Lanes -- a show where Radars to the Sky, Death to Anders, Marvelous Toy, and The Flying Tourbillon Orchestra (w/ Angela Correa) will perform sets comprised completely of their favorite songs from active local bands. (Starts at 8:30! $6!)

Last week, we showed the first look at what they'll be playing. Here's one final peek before the event...

ANDREW SPITSER - RADARS TO THE SKY

Song Choice: The Little Ones - Lovers Who Uncover

These guys consistently put on some of the most ebulliant, spirited live shows you'll ever see. This song especially just makes you want to get up and dance, or at least smile really big and sway back and forth. While these guys might not technically be a "Silver Lake" band anymore, we thought it appropriate to pay tribute to a local act made good (and one that deserves better than the fate it found at Astralworks). Please feel free to sing along to the "hey, hey, hey-oh!" part everybody.

HUNTER CURRA - THE FLYING TOURBILLON ORCHESTRA

Song Choice: Divisadero - Black and Blue

We knew from the start that we wanted to try a Divisadero song - but we found it's hard to do justice to a Divisadero song while not being Divisadero. They took forever to put out Lefty and it seems like it was worth the wait to me. This one seemed the right one to cover to utilize our male female vocals. At the moment [of this writing], we're still figuring our rearrangement... I think we'll pull it off.

JORDAN HUDOCK - MARVELOUS TOY

Song Choice: The Henry Clay People - Fine Print

Because it's my favorite song on that album. We won't be using any guitars for this cover...

ROB DANSON - DEATH TO ANDERS

Song Choice: Manhattan Murder Mystery - Parking Lot

I don't know how to put into concise words how I truly feel about this band. All I do know is that I feel so lucky to be witnessing something so spectacular and unbelievable. I've been going to Manhattan Murder Mystery's shows for the past year and each show I see becomes my favorite one. I saw them last week at Bordello where they played the midnight slot. Manhattan Murder Mystery is the type of band that will immediately wake you up and throw you on your feet, jumping and dancing, no matter how late or how tired you originally were. We're very excited and honored to be covering their song Parking Lot.
