Underwater Country Club covers Hall and Oates "You Make My Dreams Come True" for #CoverClub - A special brand of Philly covers
The concept of a cover song video series is nothing new. However you have to have something special to make it stick. For Root Down In The Shadow in honor of our deep love of the Philly scene, we've made sure our cover videos are Philly-centric. Other famous cover series each have their own special element. For the Onion's AV Undercover, they start with a list of bands to be covered and unveil the surprise cover artist week by week. For UK band, To Kill A King's series, Ralph's Balcony, the videos are a collaboration between Ralph Pelleymounter &/or To Kill A King, plus their special guest, learning each other's songs. The most prolific may be Live At Daryl's House, the infamous session where bands come to Daryl Hall's house and record some songs together with Daryl and his all star cast of session musicians.
At Cover Club we never intended to copy any series' specific style, but if we had to take one thing from any of these sessions, it's the rule: It's not awesome until Daryl Hall has been involved. One reason most series don't achieve to this rule is the overwhelming difficulty of pulling off a Hall & Oates song. For a Philly-centric cover series, it's somewhat of a must to cover of Hall and Oates tune. Live at Daryl's House has the obvious advantage with Daryl Hall in house. Now, we don't have Daryl Hall or John Oates on a session yet, but we do have a band willing to lay it all out on the line, hitting the high notes and everything.
With no further ado, here are Philly's rising stars Underwater Country Club performing "You Make My Dreams Come True", the 1981 hit from Hall & Oates Voices.

This video was impressively done with the band still new to the difficult song. The W. Phila foursome continues to work on the song, mixing it into their live set. You can see them, at their summer residency at Dahalak Paradise (4708 Baltimore ave) every other Thursday (July 3rd is next one). North Star Bar 7/18 is next big show with We Speak In Sounds, Billy Roach & Political Theatre, and Oxford.
Find out more about Underwater Country Club later this week, when we release their session original Thursday morning!
