The Cover Van Band
The Cover Van Report
From Depeche Mode to Nirvana
Passing to Pearl Jam or U2
The Portuguese band The Cover Van
Transport us to
A past of great musical gifts.
We play the 80/90s covers basically
and we try to give our own artistic touch
in each song
We are already musicians for a good amount of years
Each one with his own distinct project.
We got to know each other
We got to share stages
Each in a separate band
And we got to the point in 2013
In which we thought of getting together
And make something for the music circuit
Or the world of covers.
(4 MUSICIANS FORM THE COVER BAND)
With more than 300 performances
In all kinds of events
The Cover Band has now a new project now
The band is giving private concerts.
We go to the client's house
And we want it to be as intimate as possible
As comfortable as possible.
so that is the main characteristic of the project.
With music, they combine gin
Wine and Japanese meal
Which is gaining popularity in Portugal.
The project is called Home Sushi Van.
We are The Cover Van
(Van) comes from minibus
(Miguel Pedrosa Volkswagen T2).
(Cover) is from covers, isn't it?
And I think that it would complement
The resonance of the name.
Home Sushi Van, because of the connection
To the client's house, isn't it?
(Sushi) is inevitable
And the (Van) is our minibus that
We use for transportation.
An innovative concept that brings
To the client's home
A band
A barman
And a Sushiman.
A sushiman is a man who makes sushi
and is the one that ,in reality, is everything
Sushiman is the Japanese chef.
The price depends on the client's wishes.
The person has to simply say
How much sushi do they want
What wine and gin they want.
If they want a 4 men band
A 3 men band
Or a 2 men band.
So it is personalized for anyone.
Home Sushi Van is a sound and food trip
Which the band brings anywhere in the country.
On their way, perform concerts
The next one is on February 10th
in Casa da Música café starting at 22:00.

I thought The Cover Band embodies everything that is Pop Culture, from the music, the wine to the famously popular sushi. It is interesting to see a band perform and bring to life music from the 80s and 90s that were popular at the time while mixing it with current popular culture customs like wine and sushi. Even the 80s and 90s music are being heard by younger generations and we see them often times wearing rock band t-shirts. Rock music is my favorite genre and I love sushi, therefore, it made total sense to me to translate a report about this band and hopefully make it more visible to the English speaking community in Portugal.
