You make a fair point Lindy but you should also listen before you leap. My father and uncle were heavily involved and in the local/national/international folk scene and my old man had a sticker on his car that said 'Music..manned NOT canned'.
While the cover bands might not producing original material they are at least playing live music. Many bands did the cover version thing (yep, around the 80's they started to come out) BECAUSE they couldn't get gigs as an unknown local act. Live music and gigs are the best way to hone a band's skills, even if they do cover another.
The people who should be taken out and shot are the parasites of the music industry that have turned the Australian Rock Scene into 'Red faces' for TV ratings and local hotel owners who would rather have a room full of brain dead zombies flushing their dole cheques away on the Pokie machines rather than the atmosphere produced by a live act.
That's my rant. Hope you ROCKED ON.
