What would your ideal tribute band be called?

[Lionel Ritchie]

We all maybe know about Metallitia ...Master of Tributes (Metallica), The Irish Pink Floyd (go on ...guess), Zoo Two (2 Unlimited?), EuroSmith (Aerosmith), Whatsnake? (Whitesnake:D ), These Charming Men (The Smiths) and Dolittle (Pixies).

So lets say You can be in any tribute band you like?

To whom and what would you call it?

here we be: http://www.thedeadrabbits.com/index.html

we recieved the ultimate compliment on the name choice when Spider Stacey got in touch and said how he loved the name and the fact that we even existed, he even tipped up at a London gig and gave us all backdoor passes for the 04 Brixton gig.

Oasis - The Mad Ferrets .

[Gerrit]

My favourite band is Echo & The Bunnymen. Funnily enough but actually true I've been thinking of a name for a tribute for them since quite a while, as the theme was brought up on the Bunnymen.com forum. Easy ones would be "Happy Dead Men", "The Yo-Yo Men" or "the Tourquouise Days" but those are so evident they almost lack originality.

These Charming Men are superb, been to two shows of them already and each time it's fun fun fun!

Unfortunately my 'Mediocre Alex Harvey Band' project never got off the ground.

[Wolfie]

How about a novelty punk band of midgets where all the band members have red hair - "Stiff Little Gingers" ?

Or a novelty punk band comprising of dogs - "The Rex Pistols"?

Or a gay grunge band - "Queervana"?

EDIT:Just googled Pansy Division ...they're a punk-rock band not metal as I mistakenly said earlier.

seek and ye shall find. I seriously don't want to contravene any rules on plugging things I have a material interest in. In fact I seem to recall giving both barrells to some Sligo chap doing that with a girl-band a while back.:)
