A few weeks ago, I had the chance to check out Mr. Greengenes at the Paddock while I was in Ocean City Maryland with several friends. I’ve seen this band last year in OCMD and then again in Philly. I consider them the best cover band I have ever heard. I’m sure you know that I’m a HUGE fan of cover bands, (if not, please check out my previous posts) but Greengenes brings something different to the cover band title. The band has an attitude as if they wrote every song they played. What makes them great (other cover bands please listen up) is that they play unique b-sides and then rearrange hits to make them their own.

When you leave a Greengenes’ show, you remember the band, you remember the show and you remember the songs. What really stood out was their rendition of “I Wear My Sunglasses at Night”, their half accoustic half electric version of the Killer’s “Mr. Brightside” and of course their version of the Philadelphia Eagles Fight Song. Mr. Greengenes can be seen in OCMD, Delaware, Philly and sometimes in Harrisburg or York. You can also catch them before every Eagles game as they play outside Lincoln Financial Stadium, playing the Fight Song and all their great covers.
