We're planning on working originals too and will worm a couple into the set list

The Covers Theory isn't 100% true, no. We're just getting our feet wet, getting established. Once/If we make a name for ourselves, we can bust out more originals.
I'm not saying it's impossible to get gigs doing all original material, but it's a lot harder sell and closes a lot of doors for gigs that just need a house band to provide party music.
People generally like what they know until they get to know your band.
