I checked; you're not.

Any recent setlists so we can get a flavour of what you play?

Generation Preachers indeed- i saw many times and loved them,they often played songs the real band wouldnt dream of playing such as So Dead.

As for these guys i wish them well and would deffo go see them if they played near enough to me.

I think I saw Generation Preachers in the Olympia in Dublin in about 1999. It's all a little fuzzy but I think they had a set sometime after midnight to a near empty theatre.

"Soon" tends to mean website speak for "We had a conversation down the pub and it sounded like a great idea"...

A frightening amount of them play the Academies here. Even for bands who are still active. In most cases, I'd wonder why people don't simply go to see the real thing instead, but I did once see a RHCP tribute band who were better than the actual Chilis live.

Not hard.

I once saw a poster for a Funeral For A Friend tribute band, and they were called Wake For A Mate. No I dea if they were any good, but that was a bloody good name.

I remember Generation Preachers, think they played back in Hull when I was still at school.

I play in a band that only covers one bands songs; but we don;t get dressed up or owt; that just seems silly. We do also get a hell of a lot less money as a result mind.

We spoke briefly about doing an MSP gig but James vocals are out of the range and power of most singers...
