Let's start a Kraftwerk Tribute Band!

[TheDoctor]

Having failed to get any Kraftwerk tickets, it suddenly occurred to me to start a tribute band instead.
Four simple steps.
Design kick-ass light show. Or just play the live DVD on a humungous screen.
Play the CDs, or the live DVD. Really feckin' loud.
Get four of us to stand motionless behind laptops on stage, checking emails, facebook, CC. Pretty much a normal day. Or do it with smileys

Fill a swimming pool with the money.

I cannot see why this wouldn't work.

 

[Salty seadog]

@TheDoctor I'm in, can I be the one on the centre left?

 

[KneesUp]

You need a name that is a pun. I suggest DaftBerks.

 

[NorthernDave]

Karntwerk, surely?

 

[Shut Up Legs]

No, make it KraftCheez.

 

[ufkacbln]

Limited choice of track though....

I believe cyclists are banned from the Autobahn

 

[MarquisMatsugae]

I have the Minimum Maximum DVD,so good start

 

[Dave 123]

Brommiewerk would be a better name, Doc.

But then the band would fold over musical differences...

 

[Jimidh]

Sorry can't make it as I did get tickets ( actually it was my lovely wife who slaved over laptops and iPhones for me).

 

[Bazzer]

Over priced tickets are available from third party sites, although I could understand why you would not want to use them.

 

[TVC]

@TheDoctor some of us may have already seen them this year, front row too . I can confirm that they do actually play parts live because we heard the mistakes. Also, contrary to popular belief they do move around a bit and occasionally smile

They are still fecking awesome though.

Spotify popped them up as I had been listening to some 80s electropop . I forgot how good they were.

 

[Mugshot]

I HATE Kraftwerk, never ever got them. I did a charity bike ride thing donkeys years ago, got there early to register and stuff then had to stand around for 3/4 of an hour or so, all the while they were playing Tour de France on a loop over the PA, I could have cheerfully chewed off my own ears!!! Of course it was then stuck in my head for the next 70 miles or so

I just played a bit of it again, just to be sure;

I need to go and sit in a dark room for a while before I do terrible things.

 

[MarkF]

What a dismal name!

"Man Machine" are available from £800 per night, 2 piece band.......

 

[Incontinentia Buttocks]

I had the original 12" of Tour De France with that exact cover. Swapped it for a packet of fags. The ignorance of youth.
