raf666 Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Hi everybody, I'm sure there are some Genesis fans around here, and I'd like to introduce my Genesis tribute band : The Dukes. We're based in France, with musicians and technicians coming all around the country. Here is a video with extracts from our last show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCwqJ6xe7SQ Feel free to comment and share. If you wan't some more information, we've got a website with photos, videos & other stuff here : http://thedukestribute.wix.com/the-dukes Quote
KevB Posted March 12, 2014 Posted March 12, 2014 Genesis and Pink Floyd must be two of the most trib'd bands outside of the usual suspects like Beatles and Stones. Looks like a solid show and the playing is excellent, going for the modern stuff make sense. Most of the tribs go for the old school Gabriel material. Have fun with it. Quote
raf666 Posted March 12, 2014 Author Posted March 12, 2014 Thank you! Here in France there is not so much Genesis cover bands than that, and the little there is mostly plays Gabriel period material indeed. I actually think we're the only ones here to dwell on the most recent period. Quote
funkgod Posted March 13, 2014 Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Very good.. "Big J" on here also has a great genesis trib band "moonlit knight", i went to watch, very good, really enjoyed it, took me back a bit im sure he will be along soon. Edited March 14, 2014 by funkgod Quote
merello Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Really liked that! Was like watching Genesis with a singer! Like the guitarist's attempted Stuermer facial hair! Quote
toneknob Posted March 14, 2014 Posted March 14, 2014 Good stuff! Do you do any "old songs"? I've played with - I think - 4 Genesis tributes in times gone by, so huge props to anyone who has the balls to give it a go. A lot of it was difficult but fun to play, some of it just plain difficult. I've forgotten more than I remember now, but some of my favourites to play were One For The Vine, In That Quiet Earth, the Fountain of Salmacis, Return Of The Giant Hogweed, In The Cage. Quote
raf666 Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Thanks for the compliments! We play 2 or 3 songs of the Gabriel era. I think the oldest is "I Know What I Like" I really enjoy playing in this band : songs are very pleasant to play and, a thing that i really like, we work a lot on every sound. We also collaborate with a really good sound engineer and the video stuff is sooooo cooool :-) Quote
toneknob Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 Yep, you've got a really good full sound on you video - well done. Can I ask what other songs are your set at the moment? Quote
raf666 Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Here's our set list : Duke's Travels / Duke's End Turn It On Again No Son Of Mine Land Of Confusion Hold On My Heart Home By The Sea / 2[sup]ND[/sup] Home By The Sea Man On The Corner Follow You Follow Me That's All Just A Job To Do Mama In Too Deep I Know What I Like Jesus He Knows Me Throwing It All Away Tonight Tonight Invible Touch I Can't Dance Abacab Quote
