No less an authority than Douglas Wolk has proclaimed San Francisco’s Jewdriver “the greatest high concept tribute band of all time”. And while I highly respect the opinion of pretty much anyone who isn’t doing a sports blog, the whole thing seems just a little borrowed from New York’s legendary Oi Division, if not the all-star Christ Killers.
Petty squabbles aside, it would be interesting to know what other impossible hybrds / demented concept bands come to mind. Though I’d like to think it will be a very long time before anyone beats Faxed Head (and about half an hour before someone tops the Yuppie Pricks), your thoughts on the above are, as always, appreciated.
Faxed Head is a pretty high bar to set, but here are the Misfats. http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewProfile&friendID=2634558&Mytoken=20050212201845
Don’t forget the Kissfits, Brian.

I would nominate Darren Finizio for his numerous conceptual bands/acts
(Hoppy The Frog, Dyke, Muscle Factory etc)
