Some covers for the summer... (dancing, blues, Scissor Sisters, show)

Hi, I'm new to this forum, and busy shamelessly promoting my band on the net

Best get started.

We're an 11-piece (yes, eleven) covers band. We began as a blues brothers tribute act over 5 years ago now, so we've been heavily influenced by their music, and music from the commitments films. Still reading?...

We got bored of performing just those numbers, so we've started adding snippets from bands like the sugar hill gang, scissor sisters, reel big fish, reef, madness and others to make it more interesting. (Please keep reading...

)

We perform as a show band, and I would challenge you to come away from one of our gigs without belly-laughing at least once, and also dancing the night away.

We're doing a series of about 30 gigs over July and August. Firstly touring the from London to the West coast, and then the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

If you're interested, please post back. Any banter appreciated

Hope I didn't break any rules.

Byrney

Now for the name (don't cringe...........)
