Wiggins Pro-Ductions is now accepting applications to play this year's Cover Show, happening
June 9th and 10th. The Cover Show is an annual event that features local bands playing full cover sets by their favorite underground and top 40 groups.
THE "RULES”#1 - Each band is given a 30 min set to play songs by one (1) other band. Exceptions are made if members of the band being covered have solo or side projects – i.e. if you chose to cover Alexisonfire, you can do a City & Colour or Black Lungs songs
#2 - Bands performing are free to choose any band to cover with the exception of bands covered at last year’s show (Cover Show 7). For a list of last year’s lineup as well as all previous years, visit http://bandwiki.ca/wiki/The_Cover_Show
#3 - Bands will be chosen based on a number of factors, including the success and status of the band being covered – you don’t have to cover a radio star, but don’t pick a band so obscure that no one else will recognize their songs.
#4 - Performers are encouraged to get into character / costume for their sets (when applicable).
#5 - There will be up to 17 spots available this year.Bands interested in playing should email
