The 21st Annual Great Cover Up posts final lineup/times
The Great Cover Up is a huge staple in the local music scene. Since its start in 1991, it seems that almost every local band tries to get in on the action, from jam, to emo, to punk, to plain ol' rock n' roll. For a series of nights, the bands on the roster all turn into tribute bands, performing approximately 20-minute sets dressed up and "acting" like whom their tributing. Think Braid as R.E.M., Sarge as Nirvana - it happened.This year's Great Cover Up is four nights at the Highdive, and though the bands to be covered aren't revealed until the performances, here's the official lineup with dates and times. Tickets are $7 at the door; 3-night passes are $15; 4-night passes are $20:SATURDAY 1/14BROTHER EMBASSY (12:35-1:00am)AMY MITCHELL (11:50-12:15am)LONELY TRAILER (11:10-11:30pm)DOUBLE STANDARD PRACTICE (10:30-10:50pm)TRAILER PARK MOSES (9:40-10:00pm)CARNIVALE DEBAUCHE (9:00-9:20pm)*DELTA KINGS WILL NOT APPEAR*SUNDAY 1/15KAYLA BROWN & AMIEL (12:35-1:00am)TEMPLE OF LOW MEN (11:55-12:15am)MIKE INGRAM (11:20-11:40pm)SCATHE (10:45-11:05pm)THE PALACE FLOPHOUSE (10:10-10:30pm)MISSING THE POINT (9:35-9:55pm)VANATTICA (9:00-9:20pm)TUESDAY 1/17ROBERTA SPARROW (12:35-1:00am)MIDSTRESS/CU COLLECTIVE (11:55-12:15am)SCURVINE (11:20-11:40pm)JET W LEE (10:45-11:05pm)EVIL TENTS (10:10-10:30pm)ELECTRIC BITTERS (9:35-9:55pm)TOMMY G (9:00-9:20pm)THURSDAY 1/19HATHAWAYS (12:35-1:00am)THAT’S NO MOON (11:55-12:20am)HOT COPS (11:20-11:40pm)SUN STEREO (10:45-11:05pm)THE DIRTY FEATHERS (10:10-10:30pm)TERMINUS VICTOR (9:35-9:55pm)ISAAC ARMS (9:00-9:20pm)For more information, Smile Politely has a great article chronicling the history of the event.
