I know a guy who does local gigs under one band name and originals gigs at festivals etc. under his own name with the same band.

it's a bit late in the day for us to do that, unfortunately, but there's local young band, sounds like the Jam, Sharp Class, who plan go out as a covers band called Sounds of the Suburbs, last I heard anyway
