Who the hell puts a cover band “on retainer”??
Did they hope there would be some sort of band-client privilege?

paid… four times their normal rate to play 10 shows
I wonder if the prosecution played a recording of Funky Munky’s music for the jury. “THESE GUYS SUCK! NO WAY ON EVEN USUAL RATE! GUILTY!”

Hold on.
Having played in an ironic cover band I appreciate the hard slog it itakes to play other peoples music and seem to give a shit to a crowd that will dance to tunes they know while very drunk.
Kinda have affection for wedding bands too.
Love the inflated ego’s of wanna be singers and musicians.
Ooops… saying too much.
We love the Chunk, gotta have the Chunk
