Let’s Make a List: Best Tribute Band Names
Not the real thing, but a damn reasonable facsimileNormally I hate puns. Yet for some inexplicable reason, I do enjoy a clever turn of phrase when it comes to names of tribute bands.
For example, a recent Q Magazine listed these actual tribute band name:
- Faux Fighters (featuring Dave Growl, Naylor Falkins, Pap Smear, Chris Shitlips and Nate Mansmell)
- Shania Twin
- Nearvana
- Pink Fraud
- Maybe Gaga
- Cheap Purple
- And my favourite, Jamirrorquai.
Anyone have anything else to the list?
I had the pleasure of seeing these two bands here in Ottawa almost a decade ago now…
Björn Again – Abba – http://www.bjornagain.com/
Dread Zeppelin – reggae Zeppelin with an Elvis impersonator as the lead singer – http://www.dreadzeppelin.com/
