Good cover bands worth seeing

[Riverlee]

What cover bands have you seen that’s worth watching. For me, two spring to mind.

Illegal Eagles - superb band. Good musicianship. I’m wasn’t even a huge Eagles fan when I first saw them (80s teenager) but love this band.

Sound of Springsteen - saw this in local theatre. Fabulous night. Really good concert. The singer is really good.

Cloudbusting. Fantastic Kate Bush cover band.

Absolute Bowie

Retake That were brilliant

Australian Pink Floyd

I second Cloudbusting.

Rumours of Fleetwood Mac 😍 I've been twice and will go again!

Tribute band, you mean? The Rozzers (The Police) are great

Simply Dan (Steely Dan)

I go and see The Smyths at least a couple of times a year, they're fabulous.

Daft funk, were great.

Another vote for The Smyths.

Clone Roses are awesome as are The Smiths Ltd if you’re into your Manchester bands. I’ve only seen them in Northern venues but atmosphere has always been good too.

The Cureheads and Siouxsie & The Budgiees are a good night out.

The Ramonas - a group of absolutely kick ass women who cover the Ramones and do their own stuff too. I've seen the Ramones twice and these girls more than do them justice. Honestly, the best night out.

Limehouse Lizzy are fantastic.
Nearly Dan we see a lot and a recent convert to Simply Dan who are amazing.
T-Rextasy

Me too
They come to my city usually March and December 😊

I saw them at The Half Moon last week and will definitely fit in at least one more London show!

Try again...! Sancto sanctorium (sp?) If you like your goth/ rock. They cover the cure, the cult, the mission, sisters of mercy, Bauhaus etc. Blown away by them and closest thing I've found to the real deal. On uk tour at present and already gaining a huge following.

Another vote for Australian Pink Floyd. Also Perfect Alibi.

I've always wanted to see Skinny Lennards just because the name is so good.

Another vote for Rumours of Fleetwood Mac.

Fleetmac Wood - they do EDM / techno dance remixes of Fleetwood Mac, and always end a gig with a remix of The Chain. Great fun.

I've seen The Bootleg Beatles 3 times,they were excellent. I've seen Limehouse Lizzy 7 times now because I like them so much. Also Straighten Out,a cover/tribute band for The Stranglers,also very good. I think my favourite has to be Forced to Mode,a Depeche Mode cover band. They just blew me away. Especially as they do DM tracks that DM themselves don't do live anymore!

Bjorn Again are an awesome ABBA tribute band

The Stranglers themselves are pretty much a tribute act these days though aren't they? It's just JJ Burnel. It's happening a lot with the older bands. Yes just has Steve Howe. Status Quo is Francis Rossi...and still they rumble on. See also Queen.
I got the name of my Steely Dan tribute wrong. It's Reelin' In The Dan, which is a terrible name, but they're new-ish and a fantastic band.
