Crap.
Utter shiteballs, actually.
He whacks his cowbell like Val beats his cows.
You have neither taste nor awareness of the creative arts: so just you stick to being a painful little cunt, eh.
This latest male hero of yours?
He's a scumbag who spends most of his life asleep/high in a trailer backstage at some shitty American music festival.
Between your hero worship of Liam and Noel Gallagher to you thinking Goons & Posers are an original act, you display an amazing ignorance about even the four most recent decades and what impact they've had on second-hand singalong bands of remarkably little talent, like Oasis. At least when I did a cover band project I made it clear that we are, in fact - a party band: we play what you want to hear. And then some.
They call me (usually by recommendation) and ask if I'm free on such and such a date for such and such a party. Yes, as it happens I am free that day. My fees START at this price (they begin to hear my remix of 'Ainutkertainen' drifting from the background and I tell them yes, that's me you're hearing) and end at THIS price. For the various prices there are various packages: the full package is the best bargain.
Five to six sets, all your choices and a few of ours depending on the crowd. Ten to twelve (Finnish) songs per sets 1, 2, and 3, with drinks and food backstage during our breaks, then two to three more sets sprinkled with songs we like thrown in even though they weren't asked for. But I know what works and what doesn't as I have an independent view on how these things need to be.
Then after the stage closes, you can even have a free set of acoustic numbers played table by table as the rest of us take down the stage rig behind the curtains. Drivers are selected in rota (I don't drive, I'm the face of the band, our ambassador) so we need a cold slab in the back of the bus for the drive back home.
Cash deals are accepted but only on strict provisos: we both need absolute trust in each other that John Q Taxman knows nothing about what transpired.
But in general, and for insurance purposes, cheques are the norm.
We'll even do a bossa-nova version of 'Welcome To The Jungle' or a swing version of '.. ... . . ......' er, wait: I can't think of even one other song of theirs.
Odd, that.
Eh?
