Coverband

Cover Band is the name of a music group that primarily re-enacted by other pieces, most famous groups ( covert ). A gecovertes piece may be from faithfully presented to rearrange and sounding self- interpreted. Since more recently, the interpreter plays a central role in the phenomenon of cover bands largely restricted to the pop and rock music. With increasing popularity of cover bands in addition to the quality-oriented style of play, certain categories have been established. Are generally known in this genre revival bands, Top 40 cover bands and tribute bands.

The performance of pieces of other bands is subject to remuneration in general. It must ( depending on the size of the event), a corresponding amount to the GEMA be paid. If published in a phonogram or less, if the material is not replayed 1 to 1, but interpreted ( edited) will present a permission of the publisher.

Revival and Tribute Band

Under this designation includes all cover bands that focusing on a specific theme or artist. With most authentic musical performance, stage wardrobe, instruments and show acts such cover bands try the audience to create the illusion of a concert of the original lineup. The difference between revival bands and tribute bands actually lies in the fact that revival bands exclusively re-enact performers who are either deceased or no longer exists as a formation. Tribute bands, however, copy performer, yet provide the self concerts. However, the boundaries of the two genres are fluent in the vernacular. Often, the popularity of the original group suggests a correspondingly good marketing ability of the cover band.

Some tribute bands have to incorporate beyond the claim, own improvisations in their concerts. However, these are not, as in cover bands, an expression of personal style. Instead, try improvising the tribute band to sound as if they could have also come from the models themselves.
