Covered Up

Covered Up are a rock and covers band based at Eltham, out on Melbourne's north-eastern edge. Function work is where a band like this earns its keep, and that's the bulk of what they do: parties, venue nights and events where people want songs they recognise played by a live band rather than a playlist. The lineup covers rock band, cover band and function band work, so the same group can shift its approach depending on whether the room wants background music or a dance floor. Fees depend on the practical things, mostly distance travelled, the gear required and whether accommodation is part of the picture. Worth asking about your date.
