yeah, they do a decent job. just think of how good and potent they could be doing their own thing!! although, since they don\'t, one has to assume that as creative musicians they suck ass, but as replicative musicians they are pretty decent.
its just a personal thing, but if you\'re gonna put that much time and effort into something i can get better with an ipod mix of the real thing, i have to laugh at you. i\'d rather go to dead night at the local hippie club - same killer sound system, someone doing lights, same nice mix of music and people, but twenty five bucks cheaper! to me, its like being an amazing paint-by-numbers painter....
i stand by my position, though. if they had put as much time and effort into doing something original and creative, i bet they\'d be good as hell. but since they don\'t, why waste the over-priced ticket money on them? the fact that the market sustains a cover band that charges more than the original band is what gets me...
sure, the market sustains them, but the market also sustains velvet elvis and dog\'s playing poker paintings.... doesn\'t mean those are worth paying more for than for an actual artist\'s work.
I saw/heard DSO at GOTV last summer, and really enjoyed them. Whether they\'re a cheesy cover band or talented musicians, I don\'t know. I just know that I\'m going tonight (on a school night) because I like the music they played live. That is all.
