i fail to see how a covers band can be 'new, fresh and exciting'

I was at this gig last night, and it was fantastic. The choice of songs was pleasantly surprising and there was a good atmosphere within Bar Bia. I only found out at the mid-way stage that this was their first ever gig, which makes how well they played all the more impressive. Personal highlights included their opener 'Reel Around The Fountain', 'Back to the Old House' and 'Jeane'. If they come somewhere near you, go see them! Well done guys, keep it up.
