The Waterfront Concert Theater is a relatively new and much-needed Westside music venue (thanks but no thanks, The Good Hurt). If you love cover bands like nobody’s business, you’ll be in heaven at the Waterfront; they’ve got cover bands booked that mirror nearly every big-name band out there today.
Cover bands tend to get a bad rap, especially from “real” musicians who play their own original music. Every original band hates to get booked on the same night as some cover band; somehow it cheapens the whole night. Enter Waterfront Concert Theater, safe haven for cover bands and protection from bitter musician animosity. The worst cover bands are the ones who try to keep it painfully real (yipes, David Lee Roth #2 of Fan Halen). The best are the ones who just want to sing the songs of their favorite band over and over, outside the confines of their car.
You can’t forget the joy of cover band names. You can catch True-2-Crue, Fan Halen, Bonfire (AC/DC…I didn’t get it at first either), Aeromyth, No Duh (No Doubt), and Rolling the Stone (The Rolling Stones) all at the Waterfront. Naturally, it’s only a matter of time before Mini Kiss, By Jovi, Nowaysis, and the Red Stripes (a reggae White Stripes!) play there too.
