Modern rockers Bluefish really went for a twist in deciding what band to cover at An Under Cover Weekend.
The eighth annual event, in which St. Louis area bands perform tribute sets of national acts, rolls out Friday and Saturday. Bluefish, originally from Wentzville, will perform a tribute set to Rihanna.
Though Rihanna’s musical style differs from Bluefish’s, “she actually has some very impressive and catchy melodies,” Ely says. “We figure it’s really outside of what we’re used to playing and that we could really strip it down and make it our own.”
The band was attracted to Rihanna because her music is outside of their comfort zone, leaving lots of room to play around.
Other Musicians receiving a tribute include:
Elvis
Red Hot Chili Peppers
Foo Fighters
