REMBRANDT - a tribute band with a difference, but first, let’s make something clear:
yes, R.E.M. did write some dark and moody songs, but making the mistake that all R.E.M.
songs are like ‘Everybody Hurts’ is like thinking every Beatles song is like “Yesterday”
or every Led Zeppelin song is like the first half of “Stairway To Heaven”. Most of R.E.M.’s back catalogue
is either all out rock, like “What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” “The One I Love” or “Bad Day”,
or it’s ridiculously catchy pop, like “The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite”, “Stand” or “Shiny Happy People”.
Yes, you’ve got the big hits, like “Man On The Moon” or “Losing My Religion” but if you want
a five piece rock band with a difference here it is!
REMBRANDT – let’s clear something else up: R.E.M. may have sold 85 million records worldwide
, but it didn’t stop them from covering other artists too – and so that’s exactly what REMbrandt do as well.
Typical sets now include takes on songs by other artists as diverse as David Bowie, Neil Young and U2.
Make no mistakes, with over 50 years gigging experience amongst them, this band is so much more than you’re expecting.
