Why do tribute bands, as a rule, only pay homage to bands that no longer exist? And why do they choose to parrot only the most successful bands? What about the bands that aren't so successful and still exist, but are nonetheless too busy to satisfy all of their fans' desire for live performances?
I think someone somewhere could make some money copying present-day bands. Here's a list of tribute band ideas for the person who wishes to be fiercely original in their musical mimicry, but (obviously) can't come up with any good ideas on his own:
Slap Your Mitts Say Oui - a tribute to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Sorry Kevin, We Can't Have Your Birthday at Chuck E. Cheese This Year-the Arcade Fire revue
Troy Aikman and Ed "Too Tall" Jones on Needle Drugs- a celebration of The Cowboy Junkies
Spork-the respective canons of Spoon and Bjork played at the same time
!!!!- in praise of !!!
Juxtaposition Of Two Seemingly Disparate Things In A Title and Bread- a salute to Iron and Wine
Vampire Weekend- the Graceland-era Paul Simon revue
