Last ever cover band gig.

[NigeJ]

After 33 years, my covers band, The Three Amoebas, grind to a halt. Admittedly we've done naff all for the past few years, with just the odd gig here and there. The band has always been a complete laugh and piss take, doing rock/metal/punk covers the way we want. People have always liked us, possibly because they're usually mates😄.

We've been good friends since the eighties, but sort of drifted offvto do other stuff life wise,  musically and job wise. The drummer's on Talksport and Planet Rock, and recording his own stuff, the guitarist has his other bands, and I'm doing old school death metal. 

Our last ever gig is in June. A bit bittersweet,  but hey, life goes on.

Happy retirement. I quit my covers band of 6 years last autumn, I was a little bored and wanted to chase other projects and the band was gradually winding down as well. I kind of miss the regularity and the friendship though. As Joni said "you don't know what you've got 'till it's gone". I hope it's all sweet for you.

We'll probably do a KISS in a few years, so all is not lost. Enjoying the death metal though.

We've just done our 10th year doing 1976-1982 British punk covers, and still going strong. I'm the only one not in my 60's though, so it's only a matter of time.  I've got the folk rock covers band up and running so there's an option of sitting down a bit.....🤪👍

Love a bit of OSDM, make sure you post a bandcamp link if you have one

Old school death metal you say? 

Florida style (Death,Obituary,Morbid Angel) British (Bolt Thrower, first two Paradise Lost albums) or Goteborg (Entombed, Dismember, At The Gates)?

The Three Amoebas is a fantastic name, just sayin’.

If you imagine Obituary meets Bolt Thrower and Benediction,  youd be close. If you look up Absolution666.bandcamp.com,  you should find us.
