There was (is?) locally a band called ...no way sis ...guess who they were a tribute too!

Whilst on holiday in Devon...Barnstaple ..in 2005 with my mates we saw a gig advertised at one of the pubs for "the Food fighters"..we went along expecting a tribute band .......

They turned out to be just a regular pub rock covers band ...they were fabulous though and we had a great night!

When I lived in South London I knew "Chinese Elvis" he lived near me and had a restaurant in Old Kent Road
He was quite the TV celebrity in the 1990's/early 00's!

I remember him..and that restaurant. I lived just up the the road.
It was a mad house with all those hen parties and girls night themes going on.... [size=4] [/size]

Supported AB/CD once!

[chrisba]

I would like to set up a band based just a few miles west of Gosport called...

The Kings of Lee-on-Solent

[dannybuoy]

The thread title sounds like a Daft Punk tribute!

Don't know if's been used, but I thought Followed Zeppelin would be a good one.

Yorkshire AC/DC tribute: Highway to Hull

[Al b ready]

There is a metal Abba tribute called Abbatoir.

How about Pamela Motown?

[cameltoe]

Not a tribute band, but I do quite like the Red Hot Chili Pipers.

On the subject on names that haven't been used yet, we always figured a folk tribute to Duran Duran could be called Bodhran Bodhran.

I did recently drive past a venue offering a Bon Jovi tribute band for the forthcoming weekend, who were called Bon Jovie. Rubbish attempt.

[TheRev]

All- female AC/DC trib band called Hell's Belles?

[Noisyjon]

Just been looking at this local to me venue gig list and some crackers coming up there:
The Beached Boys,
Food Fighterz,
Guns or Roses,
Small Fakers,
The Rollin' Stoned

I will at some time start a ukulele based tribute to U2 called Uke2.

[Oopsdabassist]

Saw Oasish round here a while back, as a tribute band they were spot on, crap, undefined wall of noise and a lead singer with no personality whatsoever, had to tip my hat to their efforts!

However Bjorkwind has had me fair p*ssing myself since I opened this thread

That was the one I found funniest too.

[thinman]

Some years back "Bi Jovi" we doing the rounds in the Solent area. Never saw them but assumed they were a cross between poodle-perm rockers and buck-toothed tax-dodging scousers.

[Bassmonkey]

I like The Above Average Weight Band...
