Happy Jack Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 I remember WaterOfTyne once mentioning that there was a local tribute act named Joanne Joanne (it really needs a Geordie accent) and I've always kept an eye out for tribute bands with names that crack me up. I've just seen that a local club (Tropic Of Ruislip) has next month the band SNOG - a tribute to Kiss. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaytonaRik Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 A friend of mine has always wanted to form a mariachi band covering rock bands called Juan Jovi! I'd pay to see that, I really would! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osiris Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Not a tribute band as such but I've always thought my mates band name was superb, but you have to say it with a Yorkshire accent; 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WinterMute Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Al Murray used to play in a Jewish heavy metal band called Guns n Moses. It wasn't very PC... Their set appeared to be a very loud and fast version of Hava nagila... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This wasn't a tribute band either but I believe Wilf started in Ken Dodd's Dad's Dog's Dead. One of my favourite band names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
