Saw a poster this weekend for an Oasis tribute band called Oasisn't. Once heard Peter Kay (genius) talking about his days being a warm-up for crap tribute acts... his favourite was 'Cher and Cher alike'.......   :D :D ...of course there are the names which are just bad, like Fleetwood Bac.

Well, It wasn't a tribute band per se, just a cover band, but there was a biker cover act in the desert out here called Sweet Crystal.
One by one, the members of the band got saved.
After the entire group became born again, instead of giving up a sure moneymaker and starting a new band, they simply renamed the group Sweet Crystal Powered By God.

I once saw a listing for "The Peach Boys", but I don't think they were paying tribute.

I was roommates with the singer from that band for a brief time.

This is kind of related to this topic...

When Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger "reformed" The Doors without drummer John Densmore a few years ago, they were calling themselves The Doors Of The 21st Century, or Doors 21C.  Well, Densmore didn't agree with this, sued Manzarek and Krieger over the name, and won.  Now Ray and Robby (with singer, Ian Astbury) call themselves the Riders On The Storm. 

Does this sound like another band we all know and love?

Female Snoop Dogg impersonator called Sheep Dawgy Dawg. She's a local act that was selling cds outside the book store at my college. Since it's been 5 years and I haven't heard anything about her, must not have been too successful
