STIPE – THE DEFINITIVE R.E.M TRIBUTE
7:30pm Fri 27th November, Club 85, Hitchin
Pleased to announce the debut visit to CLUB 85 of STIPE – THE DEFINITIVE R.E.M TRIBUTE on Fri 27th Nov.
R.E.M., from Athens, Georgia are widely credited as pioneers of alternative rock, influencing countless bands who would follow, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead.
This much-loved band remain a model for young musicians everywhere: a band who always did things on their own terms, a band committed to doing the right thing for each other (such as splitting royalties equally), and never compromising on their artistic independence. They called it a day, on their own terms, in 2011, and have repeatedly ruled out ever reuniting.
We, the musicians who make up ‘Stipe’ are committed to holding true to the sound and overall aesthetic of R.E.M., so that our fellow fans, old and new, can experience the magic of hearing these songs played live with care, conviction, and affection. As huge fans of the band, we take the music (if not ourselves) seriously.
Iconic songs such as ‘Losing My Religion’ and ‘Everybody Hurts’ are recreated note-for-note, while Richard Southern’s studied vocal pays homage to Michael Stipe’s unique voice and enigmatic performance style.
Having played to tens of thousands of people all over the UK and Europe, and not least to Michael Stipe himself on the ‘One Show’ (Michael described us as ‘awesome’), we remain committed to putting R.E.M.’s music on stages across the UK, Europe and beyond.
