Set list for female fronted rock band

hamsterboy · 17-06-2013 07:29PM #1

Hi all.
My next project is doing to be....as the title suggests... a female fronted rock band playing covers. Mostly classic rock really.
Just wondering if anyone had some ideas for some tunes that would be a bit out of the usual fare that you can hear anywhere. Mentioned the singer is female as I'd preferably like to do songs where the original was performed one.
Guitar, Bass, Drums and Vox, occasionally Keys. All seasoned veterans.
Cheers

I'd suggest you have a look at Joan Jetts and "Suzi" Quatro back catalog, jefferson airplane and of course Janis.

Cheers for the suggestions guys. Had the first rehearsal and this girl has got lungs of leather. Nailed the Tina Turner stuff so well it was freakishly sounding like the woman herself. . We even threw some ACDC at her and she belted it out. Starting to think we shouldn't limited ourselves to songs with female vocalists now. :-D
Nevertheless keep the suggestions coming

I'm not sure if you want songs that people would generally recognise. You could have a listen to Street Child by Elan, with some epic guitar solos by Slash (so there is a Classic Rock connection) - it's in the vibe of a Classic Rock power balled. Not sure if it's suitable for the kind of music you want to play but sure have a listen anyway.
