@duco01 – I wasn’t really aware of that, cheers.

Tribute bands have become lazy – there was a time when they had to come up with a witty name – Bjorn Again, Champagne Vauxhall Nova, Nowaysis, The Bootleg Beatles etc. I’ve noticed a worrying recent trend – simply […]

Genius segue from Abba’s SOS to Message in a Bottle (from about 09:10 mins) in this life-affirming performance by tribute band nonpareil Bjorn Again. Probably also the best tribute band name ever as well. […]

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here but just wanted to post this from an act I’ve mentioned on here before. The first professionally recorded performance I’ve come across of theirs. With guest appearances […]

The above, as well as being just a great record on its own merits, must’ve influenced countless bands. Teenage Fanclub freely admit as such. What are your suggestions for almost obscenely influential records?

On a related theme, this is a really nice version of Sweet Baby James. Performed by ‘The Other Favorites’ (Carson McKee and Josh Turner) who appear in the Harvest Moon clip I posted originally. Loads of good stuff […]
