interpol, joy division tribute band

I do not care for this trend.
You know you're in trouble when a cover band like "Australian Pink Floyd" sells out huge venues and gets full concerts featured on American Public Television.

No indie jokes, please. I do not care for them either. Just curious, that's all.

Glice mentioned Gabba (Ramones+ Abba), a while ago.

We had one in town called "Metallagher" that did old-skool Metallica fronted by a Gallagher impersonator.

There's a dutch AC/DC tribute band.
Funny as hell I saw them twice (for free, I would never pay the suckers to see it).
They're called ACtion in DC.

I once found a band that made dub versions of Radiohead songs but I forgot their name and the myspace...
Too bad it was quite interesting.

Jive Like Jehu.
Actually they don't really exist, but imagine if they did.

The worst tribute band I've ever heard is Dread Leppelin, white dudes playing the whitest reggae versions of Zeppelin songs.

i saw a U2 tribute band inmy home town once, i dunno what they were called or anything but they tried to actually look like U2, this was fine and all except for the fact that the singer was about 20 stone overweight, he got a little upset when i shouted between songs

"hey that man just ate Bono"

people laughed but he didnt, i'm guessing he's annorexic now and its all my fault.
