BAND BIO: There are Tribute Bands... and there's BC/DC.

They were born of bush party ashes in the summer of 1999. Some 1100 unexpected gigs later, Canada's BC/DC have systematically re-defined the concept of a tribute band, garnering iconic status amongst diehard fans, agents, and venues from Vancouver BC to Jackson Hole, Wyoming. From the backyard biker bashes of Ymir, to the star-studded legendary rooms of Las Vegas. From Nelson to Shanghai!

While a web search will turn up dozens of AC/DC cover acts around the world, there aren't likely many who have so successfully branded the Aussie band's timeless raunch with such epic rock n' roll fury, while also managing to bottle the essence of a wild frontier lifestyle.

Unlike many tribute acts claiming to be "North America's #1 Clone" or "Just Like the Real Thing", BC/DC have turned the tables. The band takes a comedic approach, claiming the tunes as their own, and to having "heard of some BC/DC tribute band from Australia". They rarely give factual interviews to big city press. Adding to the schtick, the band members all go by comic aliases - lead singer Brendan Raftery's Brian "Bon" Johnscottson paying respects to both AC/DC's famous frontmen. It's working. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
