Rob and Dana Franklin welcome Daz from the UK-based Motorhead tribute band Loser to discuss his unique approach to tribute performances and supporting the local music scene.
• Loser is a relatively new Motorhead tribute band that tours across England, Wales, and Scotland playing mid-sized venues
• Rather than just performing Motorhead covers, Daz creates full evenings of entertainment with a comedian and original bands as opening acts
• Young musicians in the band gain valuable stage experience while helping carry on Motorhead's legacy
• Daz explains his philosophy of using tribute bands to introduce audiences to original music they might not otherwise hear
• Challenges of self-promotion and booking mid-sized venues in today's difficult market for live rock music
• Impressive collection of custom basses including a specially-made Rickenbacker-inspired instrument
• Communication and shared expectations are crucial for band success - musicians must discuss goals upfront
• July 5th streaming event planned featuring multiple local bands each performing Black Sabbath songs
If you enjoy live rock music, please buy advance tickets rather than waiting for the night of the show - it helps ensure venues remain willing to book bands and keeps performances happening.
