The Substitutes - Celebrating the 60's British invasion! October 6, 2007
Elwood, Victoria 3184
The Substitutes are Melbourne’s most authentic 60's BRITISH INVASION cover band playing the best (and the lost gems) of the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, Animals, Small Faces, Zombies, Pretty Things, Yardbirds, Spencer Davis Group et al. And we kick arse!
The Substitutes have been around for about three years recreating that 60's excitement and rawness that often gets lost with cover bands. Listen to a Dave Davies guitar solo or a Keith Moon drum fill and know that the 60's were about experimentation and shock, not just good pop melodies.
With the soaring vocals and fluid guitar work of Dennis Millar (ex seminal 70's band Buster Brown and then Nick Charles) and Pete Robinson on bass (ex The Strangers and Blacksmith Hopkins) supported by Peter Reed on drums (ex New Dream, Gary Young & Phil Manning bands) and the punk energy of Peter Summers (guitar, keyboard), The Substitutes deliver the goods exactly like the record but with real spirit.
Are we the best 60's band in Melbourne? Find out!
