The Band
Decade is a High Octane Modern Rock Cover Band that is out to Kick Some Butt and take their nutt. Covering tunes from the 60's to today. From the Stones to today's band like Puddle of Mudd and Jimmy eat world. We'll even throw in a obscure song or a classic rock song or two to be put into the mix. We have a unique blend of musicians in this band, some are influenced by Metal, glam, classic rock, progressive or even blues, which is what makes us different. We're not trying to be like other cover bands out there and play what everybody else is playing. Although if you look at our song set list, there is some songs that we do that other bands do. It's just the nature of the beast that you cant totally get away from. We're not out to change the world, or be "THE BIGGEST BAND IN THE UNIVERSE" But if you wanna hear some good Top 40, Classic Rock, Grunge, Modern, Pop, Blues, or hell even some Reggae, Decade is the band for you to come out and see and tell all your peeps to check us out. Below is our bio's for your or basically our own enjoyment. Oh yeah, We're LOUD too.
