skankdelvar Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 (edited) And not just Glam Rock but specifically the sub-sector occupied by bands like Slade and The Sweet. Young Italian chaps are banding together to dispense stomp-tastic early 70's style crowd pleasers.

Bands springing up in the USA and Oz.

PaulWarning Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 no problem with that, one of my favourite gigs of recent years was the Glitter Band, and yes they did Gary's songs as well, but they did warn everybody with "we're going to do some songs from a while ago now, so if it's going to upset you you'd better f*** off now" nobody did that's what they were waiting for Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OddBass65 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Interesting phenomenon...I bet some bright spark could write a sociology thesis about what caused this. Three great songs there, by the way... I have mixed memories of a Gary Glitter gig in Dublin many years ago - at the time I thought it was one of the best live shows I'd ever seen, great music and he was a great showman. Now, of course, knowing what we know of him... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luulox Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) I once saw a band called gary gutter and the gutter band who you may not be suprised to know we're a Gary glitter and the glitter band tribute act. They were big on the club circuit and they were also absolutely fantastic and one of the best gigs I have been to. One of the highlights was the lead guitarist strapped to a wheel and playing a solo as he span round, the crowd went mad. I bet the demand for them has slumped now, which is a great shame.

JapanAxe Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I have sent a link to this thread to a friend in a Slade/glam tribute that I have depped with. I expect they may know about this already, but who wouldn't want to take a glam tribute act to Italy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz196 Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Saw Giuda at Rebellion this year, pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RhysP Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I saw The Sweet many years ago (I was still in school) when they were touring as a three piece without Brian Connolly. They were absolutely brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
