lojo Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Just wondering who and what we have on here What do you do ? Quote
TransistorBassMan Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I play keyboards and 2nd guitar in what is quite possibly the oldest Gary Numan covers/tribute band. (we formed in 1986) Quote
toneknob Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Genesis (retired). I've been the "Rutherford" in about 4 UK tribs armed with Shergold, Rickenbacker, Moog and a 12-string acoustic (which was the hardest to play of the lot) Quote
bonzodog Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 We are a Mod revival tribute so not specifically one band but our set is made up of a large amount of Jam songs Quote
crez5150 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Not a defined tribute as such but we push out as a tribute to a genre. [url="http://youtu.be/yhUxGL0OcT8"]http://youtu.be/yhUxGL0OcT8[/url] Quote
paul_5 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Not any more. I went up and down the country in a Queen tribute act (about 20 years ago). Not a day goes by that I miss it. Quote
UglyDog Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Bilbo's not in a tribute band, but I'm fairly sure he wants to be... Quote

itsmedunc Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Clash band! We have no chance of looking like them but we try our best to sound like them. Formed by accident to do one gig 7 years ago! Named after the Clash tour On Parole. Only thing is some band in the States is called that too... Quote
JapanAxe Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 I was Keef Rockhard in the Rolling Zones: [media]http://youtu.be/BNrixqcpCSI[/media] Quote

I've seen G2 and ReGenesis lately. Quote
James Nada Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Would this be classed as a Beatles tribute act? (I say it isn't)- We play accurate renditions of mainly mid to late and/or lesser known Beatles songs (all written by Lennon/Macca/Harrision, no 'covers'). Our singer/guitarist sings all leads, regardless of who sang the original. Same with harmony vocals. We dress in late 60s looking clothing but do not go for a look-a-like approach. We dress the stage in a 60s/pyscadellic theme. How would you categorise that? Semi-tribute? Quote
jezzaboy Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 (edited) I play in an ACDC tribute band. It`s not an exact tribute act though: we have a girl singer who does the job well and our Angus doesn`t dress up in the school uniform anymore as "I want to let the music do the talking" So the singer dresses up in the school outfit! He is good though, the best Angus I have heard. Its great fun to play, just hard driving rock n roll! Edited April 30, 2015 by jezzaboy Quote
rogerstodge Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Spent 10 years touring with a T.Rex tribute band, got to see the world an various T.V shows, also got to see a lot of Motorways, would i do it again, would i f***erry Quote
dmccombe7 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Was in a sort of Tribute band called Stormbringer doing covers of anyone linked to Deep Purple ie Glenn Hughes, Rainbow, Whitesnake and of course all the versions of DP. Dave Quote
Clarebear68 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Playing bass for a recently setup Smiths Tribute ('These Smiths') ... first gig is this Sunday! Quote

fingers211 Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Quo No - 'Frantic Four' Quo tribute....bass and Lancaster vocals (ish !) , been goin' eight months.... Where is that fourth chord ? Nige Quote

[/quote] First was Invisible Touch, mid-90s to early 2000s, then a stint with In The Cage kind of mid-2000s to 2007 or 08. Did a one off with The Carpet Crawlers from Liverpool around the same time, and was later hired by ReGenesis but didn't gig with them due to cabinet reshuffles. I often bump into current and ex incumbents on the prog gig circuit - there seem to be more Genesis tribs around now than ever before. Quote
mcnach Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 RHCP tribute: Richt Hoat Chillis, inactive since May 2014, but currently in talks with view to resuscitate it. We formed in May 2009. RATM tribute: Radge Against The Machine. Formed in 2011, we stopped in June 2014 when our singer decided to quit. We haven't found anybody suitable since. From time to time we look... and next Monday we are auditioning a guy who seems very promising, we'll see! Quote
sprocketflup Posted April 30, 2015 Posted April 30, 2015 Cloudbusting, Kate Bush tribute, as per my signature. Enjoying it so far Quote
