Dazed and Confused
Maybe it's because the camp gene is right next to the gay gene, but I heart tribute bands. I'm not sure how I feel about Rolling Stone reviewing them, but it is. Still, I can't help but be titillated by their mention of transgendered bands like Lez Zeppelin and (male) Madonna. I've been giving Klezbians and Isle of Klesbos CDs for gifts for years, for the name alone! But the idea of some dykes rocking out to "I've gotta little woman but she won't be true" is just too fantastic. I love the underground, irreverent humor, especially as it pertains to gender, about which we tend to be sooo reverent. (Little people are down with it, too, at least the ones in the band Mini Kiss.) But if Rolling Stone is covering it, does that mean it's already over?

Don't worry, cover bands are still cool. But I can't believe you didn't mention AC/DShe!! http://www.acdshe.com/ They're satisfaction guaranteed!
My all time favorite cover band name: No Way Sis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_Way_Sis
The cover band I wanted to form but that never got off the ground: The Chemical Buddies. We could have just play a tape of "Block Rockin' Beats" and jump around a lot.
I almost mentioned AC/DShe. Rolling Stone does. Lezzies on Ex is cool too--very synthesized Melissa Etheridge and Indigo Girls covers. I personally want to form a punk band that performs all 50s ballads. Anyone?

Oh whoops now I see AC/DShe in the Rolling Stone link. Sorry.
Anyway, I'd rather form a 50s band that performs all punk songs, in the style of 50s ballads. Or is that what you mean? This cover band concept thing is harder than I thought.
