The Mysterious Oasis tribute band at Beatle Fair

 As a kid I was a big Beatles fan and loved going to the San Diego Beatle Fair (just checked and it's still going strong !) which was held at the Scottish Rite Center. These were some of the *first* live shows I saw; mostly Beatles tribute bands except for this one .  Once we got our tickets for the convention we headed towards the main entrance we noticed that there was a small room filling up with people and some artists taking the stage. I automatically figured it was going to be a Beatles tribute band but noticed these 5 guys crammed on this tiny stage looked just like Oasis.  Of course I knew it couldn't be... but also being a fan of them I couldn't help but notice how similar these guys looked. I don't remember them introducing themselves I only remember them going right into their set. The room was so small with only enough space for 3 rows of fold out chairs and the guys were barely all able to stand on the makeshift stage.  They opened their set wit...

Dynamite with a laser beam: Questions for The Killer Queens!

  The Killer Queens  are an all female Queen tribute band. The lead singer "Frederica Mercury" wears accurate Freddie inspired outfits like the black and white checkered leotard. They all wear snazzy outfits and look like they just stepped out of the salon. The guitarist "Brianna May" has a guitar *just* like Brian's Red Special . They had a really great set list, hitting all the Queen songs everybody loves and the more obscure. These ladies bring it in every way, not only do they master the look but they have the musical talent to match. They are a real treat and simply can't be missed if you're a Queen fan. When I last saw their awesome show at The Night Light I wanted to stay and chat up with these cool chicks. Being an obvious Queen fan, I am thrilled to finally found a KILLER Queen tribute band in the area! Sadly, I had to go get the last bus home so I wasn't stranded out in Oakland. The Killer Queens do shows on a regular basis , with their...

Halloween Show with killer tribute bands!

 Going to live shows is at the top of my "favorite things to do list." So it isn't hard to believe that you could find me at this show with a Queen cover band on Halloween Eve. VooDoo Dolly, a Siouxsie and the Banshees tribute band, started off the night. The singer was decked out in true Siouxsie style, she work all black with a corset and ribbons in her hair in voo doo doll fashion. The rest of the band was tight, I was especially impressed by the drummer who kicked out the beats like a pro on a Cheetoh colored glisteny drum set.  The Killer Queens were next, an all female Queen tribute band. The lead singer was wearing the black and white checkered leotard much like Freddie's. They were all wearing snazzy outfits and looked like they just stepped out of the salon. I ran to the front in my UK shirt, and sang all the lyrics to the songs. Incidentally that night all the bar tenders of The Night Light had the Freddie Mercury mustache and slicked back hair. One ...
