For this "Undercover series" the guys from Portage & Main got their fans on Facebook and Twitter to suggest song ideas, and then the band would select the best songs suggested and put it to a vote. And the song with the most votes got covered.
So songs were suggested and songs were polled and as a result the first video I shot for the "Under Cover Series" was the guys covering Queen's iconic song "Fat Bottomed Girls". And as all good covers go the guys made it their own by putting their Portage & Main spin on both covers.
Georges Couling of Knuckleduster Music Inc. www.knuckledustermusic.com recorded sound and James Pettit of Tasty Ears www.tastyears.com did the post work on the two videos.
The second video is a cover of Calvin Harris' "Feel So Close". A song that strongly resonated with one of the bands front men Harold Donnelly. For this song they called in some favours and got some friends from other popular Vancouver bands to come in to their studio and help them create the vision and sound they wanted to capture for this cover.
