There is a very good tribute band here in Chicago called Tributosaurus and they have a great gimmick. They cover a different band everytime they play. They are very popular and draw big crowds so they do well. They played (as Michael Jackson) last night down the street a block away from where we were playing and they had about 450 people in attendance. Since they were playing outside, we picked up a bunch of the crowd when they quit around 10:30 so that was good for us. We played mostly our own music with the exception of maybe five or six covers throughout the night and the little pub we were in was packed, standing room only so it was good for us.
I am not a fan of tribute bands, per se, I don't mind doing an evening of tribute to someone, but not for a regular gig.
