Play the home stuff for your own enjoyment, maybe post a youtube... earn by night with the covers and maybe get the band to help out with your own... best of both... ;)

So we will add a bunch of covers to the setlist that go well with our own material. It is going to be a challenge to find the right covers ( not too cliché or worn out, yet still enough familiarity).

Makes perfect sense to me.  There are tons of really good, fun numbers that people recognize that jacks them up.  Alternating between them and originals is a perfect way to make a set that will hold an audience's attention.

In my radio DJ days, we called pulling records in an attractive, listenable sequence programming.  It works.
