Re: [total-madness] Tribute Bands

[Rob W]

Hiya All,   Contrary to what's been said about One Step Behind, I went to see them a few years ago in Dundee & I thought they were excellent - they had the whole place bouncing all night & it really made me feel like I had experienced what it would have been like to have seen Madness in the early days in a smaller venue,- I was never off the dancefloor !!. - It was about 5 years ago so maybe they've went backwards a bit. Also the lead singer was the guy who appeared as Suggs on Stars in their Eyes.   And Simesy.....there's another tribute band called "Badness" who I think do the caravan holiday resort circuit......i've not seen them though.   bye the noo..............Rob W ----- Original Message ----- From: Simesy To: Madness Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2000 5:59 PM Subject: [total-madness] Tribute Bands     Well, it seems to me that the overall consensus is that the best one is Utter Madness! I had the pleasure of seeing them at uni. They are good. The sax player is as nutty as Lee, and their sound is as close to Madness as any Maddies could want (especially during those dark years of 86-99!!).     Having said that, I would still go and see all the others if they were performing locally. You can't knock it till you've tried it and all that!       So, does that mean that there are 4 tribute bands doing the rounds?   Complete Madness Utter Madness One Step Behind The Los Palmas 6         Stay Mad 8-) Simesy   ICQ - 50212254   www.suggs.co.uk - a great hom(ep)age to a great man www.blockheads.co.uk - the net's official Ian Dury fansite www.countrybumpkin.ndo.co.uk - my first crack @ it
