Who's Who are actually really good, despite having a bass player who
looks NOTHING like John Entwhistle.

I hardly call it an acceptance - more of a bound and gagged
tolerance.
Rumours that a massive Ian Svenonious fan has started two tribute
bands, The Fake-UP, and The Imitation of Ulysses are unconfirmed....

Wot about ... Dread Zepellin!??!?!
Vaguely infamous in the UK in the mid 90s, Dread Zepellin were, as
the name suggests, were a mix of dub reggae and Led Zepillin type
bombast- except that they also had a Seventies Fat Elvis Impersonator
(Who I seem to remember was called something like "TortElvis") as
lead singer. Their main "hit" was a tortuous reggae/"Black Dog" style
cover of "Heartbreak Hotel"...

The Ian Svenonious tribute bands are called the DElta 72 and the
Mooney Suzuki.

I was visiting London last summer [I'm from Chicago] and staying with
a friend in the New Cross area. I remember a place called The Venue
that had cover bands for bands I didn't know warranted covering.
There's many more than this, but off the top of my head there were
cover bands for Madness, Ocean Colour Scene, and George
Michael/Wham. Has anyone else seen this place? [Incidentally, I
think that place used to play host to bands like The Fall and
Beefheart in the early 80s].

yes, i have had the misfortune of visiting new cross venue. it used
to have bands until about the mid 90s some time. but from then on it
only had cover bands. the building also looks like its been burned on
a daily basis to maintain that charred effect
