There is at least one, "Generation Preachers". I'm not sure when they last played though.

Janet Street Preachers were kicking around for a bit. But to be honest, I think they only did it so they could use that name, which is fair enough, it's a good name

I saw Generation Preachers at a Manics fan convention. They were cool, met them afterwards, I remember the James dude giving my mum a kiss, which I dont think she was happy about heheh. The Nicky guy came on stage and flashed his backside to the audience (and he looked scarily like Wire!) AND I met Patrick Jones for the first time and also Simon Price, who I didn't recognise at the time when he asked 'Do you want me to sign your programme?' to which I said 'No thank you' I also met Sean Moore's mum (the real Sean Moore, apparently everyone has met her) She promised to get me backstage passes for the Millenium gig and I never got them! Think she was boasting about being Sean's mum. GP were quality though.

the Generation Preachers split up in about 2001. I haven't heard of any new tribute bands recently.

Still, I'd see a tribute band while we're waiting for em, they're the only one I've heard of. Find it quite sad that Arctic Monkeys and The Strokes had several tribute bands after 5 minutes, but Manics don't. I need to stop treating my Manics fandom like a football team fandom...
