I've had this blog for how long? - one year? - and I still haven't talked about my favorite Japanese tribute bands? W.T.F.? Here we go....
Slanted and Enchanted - Pavement 120%, lo-fi and sloppy to an exact T
Footloose - the best of Kenny Loggins by a guy that looks kind of like Kenny Loggins
KISS - Prince (early years)
Their Satantic Majesties Request - best of Rolling Stones' psychedelic period
Tristero - Pynchon
Take a Chance On Me - A*Teens
When the Pawn Hits the Conflicts He Thinks Like a King What He Knows Throws the Blows When He Goes to the Fight and He'll Win the Whole Thing 'Fore He Enters the Ring There's No Body to Batter When Your Mind Is Your Might So When You Go Solo, You Hold Your Own Hand and Remember That Depth Is the Greatest of Heights and if You Know Where You Stand, Then You Know Where to Land and if You Fall It Won't Matter, 'Cuz You'll Know That You're Right - Aimee Mann cover band
'N Utero - undetermined
Henry Rollins Band - Black Flag
Toto - USA for Africa (middle-late years)

The Black Mages - Rick Wakeman and Steve Harris get together to score a soundtrack for the Final Fantasy series.

Either way, I pity the poor bollock who has to fit that moniker onto a flyer.

Posted by: odot at November 7, 2005 8:47 AMLet's say that they're twice as bad as JR - who are a Gaddis & Dallas cover band.
