Black Lace Tribute Band
Gav: So how was your weekend?
Me: Alright. Family party on Sunday, saw my cousin who I haven't seen in 20 years or so. Village fete too.
Gav: Sounds good
Me: Well, yeah, except for my uncles and aunts trying to fix me up, and except for the church bandstand. If I ever hear another village fete cover band perform "Obladi Oblada" I'll end them. Is there like an approved list of cover songs permissible for village fete church bandstand cover bands? They covered Police, Joe Jackson..
Gav: Oh I like a bit of Joe Jackson
Me: Me too. I just don't like church bandstand cover bands doing Joe Jackson
Gav: Actually I bet Joe Jackson wouldn't like that too
Me: No. He'd take 'em out with an axe. Chunks of bloody flesh splattered all over the jam stands. At least they didn't do any black lace
Gav: No, even church bandstand bands have limits. And Black Lace were shit. No one covers them
Me: Well, except Black Lace. There're no original members now. One killed in a bus crash, one in hiding for kiddy fiddling. They just cover their own songs. They're like a tribute band to themselves.
Gav: That reminds me. We used to have the guy from Jive Bunny call us at Sound Control all the time
Me: Did you call him a talentless twat?
Gav: He really had no idea about anything. He said "I just got all my records, like, and just sort o' threw 'em together, like"
Gav: And I'd say "Yeah mate, it shows."
