Description
Stipe are recognised as the definitive tribute to R.E.M., the band from Athens, Georgia who are widely credited as pioneers of alternative rock, influencing countless bands who would follow, including Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Radiohead.
R.E.M 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.
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 them as ?awesome?), Stipe are a professional six-piece, who, as huge fans of the band, take the music (if not themselves) 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.
While all shows feature the familiar hits, every setlist is different. Deeper cuts from R.E.M.?s peerless back-catalogue, such as ?Talk About The Passion? or ?Don?t? Go Back To Rockville? will delight fans of the band, and is an opportunity for any fan of great music to hear this timeless material played live with love and care.
Whether you?re a long-time or more casual fan, or just someone who loves great music, Stipe are a must-see tribute band who capture the essence of R.E.M., one of the defining bands of our times.
