2 more than just a cover band cover story hey came during an era when `seinfeld and `friends were ratings gold when `jurassic park and `home alone were box office blockbusters and when bands like nirvana and pearl jam were at the top of the charts this was the 1990s and sydney band seattle sound lived through all that and came out the other end minus the hyper-colour t-shirts and bleached blonde hair beginning in 1996 sydney s number one cover band formed at the height of the grunge music era bands like nirvana alice in chains soundgarden and pearl jam were taking the world by storm selling millions of albums across the globe and creating anthems for a generation interestingly these bands all came out of one place ­ seattle washington usa back in the early days of seattle sound their playlists were flooded with the popular hits of those seattle based bands over time they ve had to update adapt and develop with people s changing tastes in music we originally started doing seattle sound music but now it s not really like that lead singer john perry said it started off with pearl jam and when nirvana broke big 15 years ago but from then on its evolved into a lot of other things fyi entertainment nathan taylor chats with seattle sound frontman john perry about their long and successful career as sydney s number one cover band we ve changed a lot in 16 years and some of those songs and artists we did before just don t really work now john 43 says the band over the years has had to update their playlists largely due to the rather youthful crowds they play to at some of sydney s most popular nightspots and venues if we were to go to a popular venue these days and play `spoonman by soundgarden or `even flow by pearl jam it s basically blank faces he said a lot of this seattle area music we started doing 16 years ago and some of these 20-year-old s in the crowd would ve been five years-old at the time when these bands were big so now in a two-hour show we ll do two sets that include music by the goo goo dolls matchbox 20 u2 green day kings of leon foo fighters and the red hot chilli peppers seattle sound are made up of five very talented musicians with john being part of the original line-up when they formed in the mid `90s they perform roughly four gigs a month 50 gigs per year and an estimated 800 gigs over the last 16 years their popularity over sydney has given them the billing of `sydney s number one cover band a title that john is quite t humbled by it s pretty good to have that title and i think it s based on crowd numbers he said we get paid pretty well for what we do and we re lucky enough to pull really big crowds seattle sound have performed at a countless number of venues in the sydney area over the years but a local stage here in penrith is among the band s favourites last time we were at the penrith rsl we had an awesome time and i m not just saying that john affirms fyi issue 46 editor troy dodds troy.dodds@mediaview.com.au published by mediaview pty ltd printed at spot press pty ltd fyi advertising manager emily.larkham emily.larkham@mediaview.com.au phone 4722 2998 fax 4731 6255 content nathan taylor suite 2 42-44 abel steet jamisontown nsw 2750 production irene adams kate stanford to advertise ring emily on 4722 2998 penrith show coming shows 12th august 20th august 27th 28th august 2011 badge draw friday 12th august 1014wwd5064 is coming $6700 first draw 6pm high maintenance n0 secrets angels show club paceway cnr station ransley sts penrith www.clubpacewaypenrith.com.au nsley www.clubpace lubpacewa bpac a 4721 2375
