Tribute band opportunities for the older and larger of waistline.......

I was watching the Foo Fighters doc 'Back and Forth' last night, and thinking it would be good fun to be in a Foo's tribute ( despite the fact there already is a very successful one - Foo Fighters UK), as they have some great material, and it's pretty straightforward stuff. Plus you get to play some nice P basses!

The trouble is of course, whilst I could easily manage the gingery-ness of Nate Mendel, I'm too old and frankly too well upholstered to carry it off. Then... brainwave : why not have a Foo's tribute full of overweight/old blokes, and we could go out as the Fat Fighters - " the same, but heavier......".

This of course then led to a train of thought about overweight/old bloke tribute bands. I know there is someone on here who plays in a funk band, made up of somewhat larger chaps, who use the frankly genius "Above Average Weight Band".

Any more?

It's what they're called in our house, my 5 year old saw to that.

I was trying to think of some stage names for the band members, as per The Rutles. So far I've got Dave Gross, Taylor Porkins and Fat Smear - there's also Chris Chips-eat, and Cake Mendel. Needs some work though I think.
