This Is A Tribute!

13th August 2009 was a special edition of Moonshine – it was the Moonshine Tribute Edition! Each band would pay a tribute to one particular band.

Pitbull Inc. covered Tenacious D! I have to say Steven really embodies Jack Black when he rocks out.

Storm The Gates! Lee!

Kickapoo! (Yes, that rockin’ song from Tenacious D In The Pick Of Destiny where a young JB argues with his dad.) In movie sequence, there was KG’s intro song Classico!

You could tell they were having too much fun playing the songs – and we had too much fun rocking out with them!

Master Exploder!

I do not need, (he does not need) a microphone (a microphone)
My voice is f–king, (f–king) powerful!
Aaah! Arghhh!

+10 points for actually having his voice come out of nowhere without a microphone!

Then came Karate and F–k Her Gently (with the gestures).

Who be that masked man?

This is not the greatest song in the world…

…this is a Tribute!

Every little solo and lick was covered. Honestly the best tribute band that night!

Oh yeah, I dig the new background lights in Laundry Bar.

I really didn’t recognize Amanda there!

Mari Soul Faith Leaper was next, covering the Foo Fighters!

They played My Hero, D.O.A.…

…newer song The Pretender…

and not-so-new No Way Back and Best Of You.

I guess I was hoping for more classic stuff from The Color And The Shape or their self-titled album.

Next up – HamsterDamnAged, covering the Yeah Yeah Yeahs!

Khai is like… what?

They covered Rich, Date With The Night…

…Men and Tick.

Sharon does an excellent Karen O!

When you have an all-girl band you gotta have a girl drummer…

…and a girl guitarist.

“Yeah we don’t have a bassist just like them Yeah Yeah Yeahs.” Not that they need it – they already pull off high-octane punk with just 2 main instruments!

Ending the night was Auburn, covering what was obviously a strong influence in their music – Silverchair! I myself didn’t realize this until later exposure to early grunged up Silverchair.
