I just found out the line up for my girlfriends University summer ball has a tribute band playing, they are called ‘The Redhot Silly Feckers’. Now this just cracked me up, are they some sort of Cornish, scrumpy drinking Chilli Peppers tribute? May be, who knows. I also thought it might be a laugh if we all listed some of the more amusing tribute band names out there. Heres mine: Red Hot Silly Feckers - Red Hot Chilli Peppers Almost Quo - Status Quo Darren Darren - Duran Duran. You guys have any more? ---

If you mean tributes to comedy, as opposed to tributes to bands, “Toad the Wet Sprocket” was named after something said in a Monty Python sketch. ---

I’ve been seeing flyers around here for Lynyrd’s Innards. I don’t know if they’re a Skynyrd tribute band or not. Like the world needs more of Freebird. :rolleyes: ---

‘The Whom’ - classic! So it looks like they may be thin on the ground then, should we try making up our own crappy tribute band names? I thought of one for a band that was a tribute to ‘Free’, it’s a bit shit…‘Gratis’. ---

There exists an excellent Beatles tribute band called The Eggmen. I heard them live on the radio one morning - they were guests on the morning show. They performed _Yellow Submarine_, including creating all of the background soud effects live in the studio. It was nearly flawless… I’ve also heard of a U2 tribute band called The Joshua Three. ---
