Most of the ones in the picture are 5 bands IIRC should be typically red-red-black-brown = 2, 2, 0 x1 + brown for 1% 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Gold big jim Posted December 7, 2023 RMweb Gold Share Posted December 7, 2023 This is fantastic, the deco band redo tunes with a 1980s vibe, their version of the Verve’s Bitter sweet symphony is a cracker, especially when dubbed over the original video https://x.com/decobanduk/status/1732445560949375293?s=46&t=_D0idSTEdpin4MyBN8ca4g 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a bit of a thing in the early 2000s for bands doing covers in a totally different incongruous genre, like heavy metal versions of ABBA and hillbilly country banjo versions of ACDC songs etc.. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Started well before then. Mid 1980s I first saw those "gimmicky tribute acts" begin to appear. I think we've got a certain Australian wobbleboardist to blame for making it popular with Stairway To Heaven! Funniest one was Dread Zeppelin. Reggae/Rock versions of Led Zeppelin songs with an Elvis impersonator singing! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dread_Zeppelin Unfortunately the joke usually wears thin pretty quick. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first posted here it came up as a pic like the videos above, which as you say shows the product. However on here you get the option to show the link only, rather than the pic so you can make it a tease 2 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orkestra Obsolete play Blue Monday For comparison, here's the original release of Blue Monday, by New Order. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHT_rLNEj84 Link only, because there are no visuals! Its worrying to realise that it came out in 1983, so its 40 years old. I've got the 12" single... Edited December 8, 2023 by Hroth 6 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
