Best (read worst) Cover Band Names

[famethrowa]

By Jovi

There's one getting around called Wrong Jovi, not bad

[NoSleep]

Proxy Music has to be the winner if that's a real one.

It's a real one. One of the members (keyboards and electronics; both Ferry, minus the vocals, & Eno) is Howard Jacques who does/did Bermuda Triangle on Resonance FM and also did These Records (label & shop).

They must be a band that only exist because someone came up with the name

[gilbertharding]

"Please give a warm hand to our tribute to the Welcome Home hitmakers: your very own - LITRES of PEE!"

[NoSleep]

They must be a band that only exist because someone came up with the name

That's probably true of many of these tribute acts.

[Phil_A]

There was an all female Monks tribute band called The Nuns, I think Debbie from Echobelly was in it.

Still disappointed no-one has claimed The Vinegar Strokes yet, I mean come on.

This would be great if they all wore aprons and hair nets and were a Strokes cover band with songs altered to be about chip shops.

Is This It? - customer complaining about chip portion size

12:51 - staff expressing relief that the lunchtime rush is dying down

Barely Legal - putting out a bottle of vinegar that's nearly past the use-by date

Take It Or Leave It - reprise of the previous portion size gripe but from the perspective of the staff

Last Nite - anecdotes about pissheads coming in for some chips

I'm sure there's loads more but they're a tribute band so they're only really gonna do material from the first two albums aren't they

[Tikwid]

Not a real one but I'd like to see a German Soft Cell tribute act with a singer who goes by the name Marc Allemand

The sleeve could be the first album's but with one of those blue rubber gloves on.

[Malcy]

I'm shite at uploading images and resizing them to fit so I'll just type a screenshot I took of the Bradley Walsh & Kayvan Novak sitcom Suntrap from a few years ago.

On a poster it read

Big's Big Showcase

New Headliner: Frederico Mercury
Paulo McCartney
Cliff Ricardo
Pedro Andre
Senorita Gar Gar
Georgio Michael
Sinitta (The Real One)

In Memory Of Elton Juan

I'd guarantee there are real ones with those names.

[Norton Canes]

Georgier Satzellites

[bgmnts]

Children of the Gravy is either really crap or really good.

[SteK]

How about a Northern Irish punk band where all the members are dead, small and ugly?

Stiff Little Mingers

[alan nagsworth]

The sleeve could be the first album's but with one of those blue rubber gloves on.

Yeah and instead of a naked arse it's a jar of pickled eggs

[Brundle-Fly]

Is their a Celibate Rifles tribute act called Sex Pistols?

[McChesney Duntz]

Pleurissey

[SteK]

The Bay City Paedos

[Rolf Lundgren]

Are It Aint Half Biscuit Mum still going?

I thought it was It Ain't Half Man Mum but was never really sure if they were real or not.

There is another one called Half Arsed Half Biscuit.

[idunnosomename]

Poo Zeppelin

[NoSleep]

The Bay City Paedos

Paed Zeppelin

[NoSleep]

The The The

There is another one called Half Arsed Half Biscuit.

It was It Ain't Half Man Mum, and they never existed. They were a gag offered up by HMHB's Nigel Blackwell in a 90s interview, when the idea of such an enterprise ever existing seemed suitably preposterous.

Tbf, Half Arsed Half Biscuit are Irish, and I don't think HMHB ever play there, so they are fulfilling a niche market demand that otherwise I'd have thought would be pretty comprehensively sated by the original (still regularly performing) group.

Big lolz for this post.

David Fauxie

[JesusAndYourBush]

Ha, I'd never made the connection.  Hat fucked, etc.

[Norton Canes]

Meetwood Flac.

Not supposed to be a funny answer. They actually exist.

[Famous Mortimer]

Weirdly, release all their songs as lossy mp3s.

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

The Better Beatles still tickles me
