About R.E.M. UKOriginally formed in 1996, it was 2002 when founder member Rick Southern decided to set up a fresh new line up of Stipe.
Eight years and over 500 performances later, the band has been established as one of the best and most popular tributes on the circuit, looking and sounding like the original, the members being genuine fans as well as accomplished musicians..
Just like the original R.E.M. additional musicians are called upon for live performances, on keyboards and drums.
over a few years R.E.M. UK built up an enviable reputation as an authentic and entertaining tribute, playing all over the UK with regular visits to Ireland, Malta and Europe. During this time the band's web site became the most popular on search engines Google and MSN, and the vast majority of venues - from small clubs to huge festivals - have made regular return bookings.
About R.E.M. the band we cover:
Probably the biggest 'cult' band in the world, R.E.M. are more popular than most people realise, with hits like 'Everybody Hurts', 'Losing My Religion', 'Man on the Moon', 'Daysleeper', What's the Frequency Kenneth', 'The Great Beyond', 'Leaving New York' - the list goes on.
Over 30 hit singles and 7 number one albums, in fact. You'll find yourself singing along to songs you didn't even realise that you knew. For the hardcore R.E.M. fan, the band include a selection of more interesting and obscure songs too, and are happy to play requests, which can be submitted via the band website.
The Future
R.E.M. UK have over sixty R.E.M songs in their repertoire. The list is continuing to grow. Just like R.E.M, this enables the band to change their set considerably and keeps everything sounding fresh.
There are many tribute bands that claim to be "the ultimate" or "the U.Ks No.1". R.E.M. UK take this to another level; off-stage, down-to-earth and approachable - on-stage enthusiasm and energy make compelling viewing, maintaining the essence that is R.E.M.
