One of AXSTV’s “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands,” the Ten Band is the nation’s premier fan tribute to the legendary rock band Pearl Jam. Touring the US and beyond since 2003, the band has played over 550 shows nationwide to standing-room only crowds, and has developed a truly unique show for die-hards and casual fans alike.
Ten has generated a tremendous buzz in US markets nationwide for their authentic reproduction of a live Pearl Jam concert. “This is the most authentic tribute act I have ever seen, and I have seen a bunch” was the quote of a representative of Clear Channel. Since that night Ten has performed well over 550 shows over 10+ yrs and has firmly established themselves as the premier touring Pearl Jam Tribute act in the US.
In 2014 Ten was selected by AXSTV to appear on the hit TV Show “World’s Greatest Tribute Bands.” The one-hour live performance from the world-famous Whiskey-A-Go-Go in Los Angeles appeared live in livingrooms worldwide that year.
A typical comment is, “If you close your eyes you would swear you are at a Live Pearl Jam concert.”
As the longest-touring tribute to Pearl Jam in the US, Ten will be hitting the road nationally once again in 2019!
Remember listening to your favorite albums all the way through, the way the artist meant them to be heard? So does Jim Drnec, drummer and founder of the multi-faceted musical collective 33 1/3 LIVE. “We perform classic rock albums using a rotating cast of the best musicians,” says Drnec.
But 33 1/3 LIVE’s most recent endeavor is also their most ambitious: The Killer Queen Experience faithfully re-creates Queen’s studio recordings live on stage including all the vocal harmonies that made the records so amazing! Not satisfied with just playing the “hits” however, the Killer Queen Experience also plays Queen’s quintessential album, A Night At The Opera in its entirety, featuring tracks like “You’re My Best Friend,””The Prophet’s Song,” and, of course, the operatic masterpiece, “Bohemian Rhapsody.”
33 1/3 LIVE’s Killer Queen Experience reproduces each track faithfully, while retaining the energy and excitement of a live performance. That means using more musicians and singers than were on the album, allowing them to perform the songs live as they were recorded, overdubs and all. “For the Killer Queen Experience we have nine musicians, playing multiple instruments, and six vocalists, so we can reproduce live the parts that even Queen could not manage on stage,” says lead vocalist Justin Gonzalez.
33 1/3 LIVE’s Killer Queen Experience is a 90-minute concert set of all your favorite Queen tracks spanning their extensive catalog and is guaranteed to satisfy even the biggest Queen fans.
