Stingray5 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 One of my faves was a band, I think based in the north-east, called Nearly Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depeche Mode played à la Madness would be a fun live experience. Haysead Dixie obviously comes to mind. And Luther Wright & the Wrongs' Rebuild the Wall is an entire bluegrass version of Pink Floyd's The Wall that's worth checking out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big_Stu Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 There's, or was, a Scottish tribute to RATM called Radge Against The Machine. Incredibly clever, "radge" is a term of abuse up there, as many words are come to think of it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And also, the Average Bar Band. What about the Dixie Chicks all-transvestite band - Chicks with Dixie. The really good ones tell you who they tribute , tell you that they are not the original band,, and make you laugh too: Fake That Deft Leppard From Newcastle, The Reet Hot Chilli Peppers The Rolling Clones Oasish 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy_L Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 (edited) I know of some guys who have played as Geoff Leppard (rather than Jeff) in "tribute" to the patron saint of Lotus owners, Geoff Capes.
