"Short" on talent? Well, they're no worse than any "real" Kiss lineup after 1978, really....

3. Hayseed Dixie

Not really a "tribute band" these guys just cover every song out there bluegrass style. Here's a clip of them covering "Black Dog". Smokin!

4. Dark Star Orchestra (Grateful Dead) Phix (Phish)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5FUb33px0E DSO The great thing about DSO is every night they do one particular show from the GD's career and even change the instruments to suit the band's sound on that night.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5FUb33px0E Phix. these guys bring it like crazy too

6. Never heard of DSO before, but they sound great

Might have to check out one of their shows if they ever get up to this corner of the world.

8. They are a touring band.....

They play festivals and 1000 seat venues all over the country. It is weird, how they do it, they try to play a spcific show every night, even trying to mimic the GD sound of that time, but they are still very improvisational. You don't know in advance which show it is going to be. One night it can be a show from 68,the next 89.
