| | | | Clever Tribute Act Names
Sign in to disble this ad
I'veseen my fair share of tribute acts come through here, and many of them are simply named after a song or an album by the group their playing.
Sometimes the names do get clever (and sometimes better than their playing), however. One's I've liked included:
Aeromyth
Rolling The Stones
Shania's Twin
Anyone else know of clever names for tribute bands?

| | Registered User | | | | | I know of a metalica tribute in Montana, but they do not call themselves Montanica. I consider it a wasted opportunity.
Dallas in Chains used to be called "the donkey show" but I dunno what the connection was with the latter name. They made the right choice eventually. |

|  | There is a universe in one single measure... | | | | Long Gone Bon! Mark Tutko and the boys. Haven't seen them since the early 90's, when I lived in the San Jose area. Cool to see they are still around. Quote:

And this from the Simpsons:
Becky (to Otto): You got Poison to play at our wedding!?
Lead Singer: We're CYANIDE, A loving tribute to Poison!
Drummer: We need a ride home! |
