Cover Ups, London covers band with a twist

About Me


COVER UPS (London) 'Barbie Girl'
COVER UPS (London) 'You Got It'
COVER UPS (London) 'You Are My Sunshine'
We take famous Pop songs from the 1950’s to the 1990’s, Rock them up and people love it (Check the videos below). Everybody knows those songs, so they drink, dance and sing along to them. An incredible amount of work has gone into re-arranging the structures, changing the style and perfecting the visual presentation. If you want to book this London trio or just check them out live E-mail: [email protected]
The band is in the books of a good UK booking agent. We also have offers to play abroad and we aim to create more strange and wonderful cover versions that we aim to release officially (CDs etc.) We are a very ambitious band (but not dreamers). We want to grow as a band, play abroad(133 UK gigs played so far, with many different bassists), play better venues /gigs/ festivals, make self released videos & albums.
For the time being we need a permanent BASSIST (or singing BASS PLAYER) so that we can gradually expand the line up (by adding a singer etc.) We have many short and long term aims and plans and we are working on achieving them. So if you are ambitious join us. ========================================================= Some of the songs we perform (We perform for at least 2 ½ hours to 3 hours) : 1. Missirlou-Pulp Fiction theme (instrumental; traditional) (2:00) 2. Amarillo (Tony Christie) 3:20 3. Suspicious Minds (Elvis Presley) 2:23 4.
