Mr. Foxen Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 [quote name='Lozz196' timestamp='1373325439' post='2136341'] The Likeness - a great tribute to The Darkness. [/quote] Saw them, got the impression they were an actual 80s hair band. Also 'We have an hour long set to fill and we are a tribute to a band with only one 35 minute album out, so here are some B-sides". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger2611 Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 I am surprised no one else has heard of this one but according to radio 2 at some point there was an Irish rapper doing the rounds as Duff Paddy! quite simply the best tribute name possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassTractor Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 You guys have me in stitches with your inventiveness. Even the most obvious ones have a sting to them that makes them quite much better than just daft. Also, the made up ones IMHO are clearly better than the existing ones. Well done, and thanks!
