A Metallica tribute band from Aberdeen

ELO again (better if you say it as a word, rather than three letters...)

There is an all female tribute band called Vag Halen

Buchanan Street Preachers.

From Glasgow

Radiodread (ok, it's the album name really)

Hayseed Dixie

So good, it didn't matter that I didn't get it for a couple of years.

ELO again (better if you say it as a word, rather than three letters…)

Works just fine as three letters in Lancashire / Yorkshire.

Half Arsed Half Biscuit.

Small Weller.
To be fair, he is quite short.

What became of Deaf Shepherd?

So good, it didn’t matter that I didn’t get it for a couple of years.

That's why I think it's such a good one. It's almost NOT a pun!

Reet Hot Chilli Peppers

Based in the NE

When I lived on the south coast I used  to see a Sabbath covers band called Slack Sabbath.

Their lead singer was called Ozzie Eastbourne.

Think this hit its peak on the second comment - Pete Loaf (a real dead ringer), gonna be laughing about that for ages now. Straight out of Phoenix Nights that one.

Porridgey

Half Arsed Half Biscuit.

Can’t really see the point, HMHB are regularly gigging anyway, and their songs are often parodying something or other, so why go to see a half-arsed imitation?

Not a covers band but back in the days when I used to race TTs, a regular on the start sheets was someone called Judith Priest...

Moped

Pete loaf made me chuckle.
So did fake that.
