those are the guys that were formed in CT I think. I saw them once in hartford (I think it was Hartford) and it was a good timetbillie41 wrote:i think there were two DMB tribute/cover bands called tripping billies. I saw one at harpers ferry in Allston (Boston), MA a few years ago and they were damn good. The singer even looked a little like dave, it was creepy.pjdk28 wrote:anyone heard tripping billies? pretty good

My apologies then, but I still don't get the remark about the search functionEasy E wrote:c_tietze wrote:Dick, this thread is about DMB Tribute Bands.Easy E wrote:c_tietze wrote:Yeah I have a question about OSW, clearly they are very good musicians but if you're going to "do" a cover band project and not just cover the songs but the attempt to create the same vibe as DMB why not then try to sing like Dave Matthews instead of singing like oneself?
I don't understand why the lead singer doesn't attempt to sing like Dave? Am I missing the point here?
excellent use of the search function!
Nice shades btw.
i was being sincere
BTW, I saw One Sweet World last Fri. and they were actually quite good, I noticed a lot of Dave nuances in the singer's voice and it actually was one of the better cover attempts at DMB I've seen.

I agree with the making more $$$ thing but that can be a short ride for a band. For instance I know some guys that are killer players and started up a U2 cover band and they quit their day jobs because they were making so much $$$ in Boston, NY, etc. With a band like U2 or DMB I can see how this may be fruitful, but for how long?
