My God, we’e still not through all this. Here are the various Hendrix tribute bands that I have come across.
MORE EXPERIENCE
The acclaimed Swiss tribute band. Noel Redding and Buddy Miles even toured with them.
ARE YOU EXPERIENCED?
This English tribute band really know their Hendrix. They are fronted by Hendrix impersonator John Campbell who is a very capable and convincing guitarist. He stays very close to Jimi’s solos but with clever personnal touches here and there (the intro to “Watchtower” for example). Campbell vocals are little deeper than Jimi’s but that doesn’t deaden the impact of the interpretations. It must be great fun to see them live as they really have got their sound together.
The band were featured in the BBC Arena film “Tribute Bands”, about The Limelight club in Crewe, England.
KISS THE SKY/JIMY BLEU
Jimy Bleu (that is not a spelling mistake) has been a Hendrix impersonator since the late sixties ! Check out his site to find out more about him, and for audio and video samples of his work. Some excellent interpretations to be discovered there.
THE HAMSTERS
The Hamsters were a British band from Southend-on-Sea, Essex, England and they put out one or two Hendrix tribute albums.
