About

The 501 started the way the best bands do: a few friends who'd rather be in a garage playing the songs they love than just about anywhere else.

We're a cover band, and proud of it. We play the rock, 90s grunge, pop-punk, and power-pop we grew up on — 43+ songs across about two and a half hours, enough to fill a whole night. AC/DC into Nirvana into No Doubt into The Killers. The stuff that makes a room sing along.

We do this because it's fun. That's the whole thing. If you're having half as good a time on the dance floor as we're having on stage, we've done our job.
