Promoters NNE have brought back STIPE to Paisley – the definitive tribute to one of the biggest bands in rock music – R.E.M back to The Bungalow and they will on stage Friday night, 4 October, 2024.
R.E.M. are one of the world’s most enigmatic bands. With a string of peerless albums; one eye on the underground and one eye on the soaring chorus; we will never see their like again. From “The One I Love” through to “The End of the World” and more besides.
Stipe brings you all the top songs from these icons including “Losing My Religion”, and “Man on the Moon” and with all the atmosphere, attitude, emotion, and energy you’d expect. Stipe will provide the same cagey mix of attitude, poetry and idiosyncratic sound built around jangling guitars and hazy vocals of frontman Michael Stipe.
Whether it’s playing major festivals or appearing on the BBC One Show, performing for Michael Stipe himself, Stipe is the definitive R.E.M. tribute – a complete band, and encyclopaedic knowledge of the back catalogue. They bring R.E.M. to life on stage. If you are wondering how good these guys are Michael Stipe said when he saw them “These guys are awesome!!”. Tickets on the door from 7.00pm.
The very popular The M65s will be playing all the best Mod and Northern Soul tunes tomorrow afternoon, Saturday 5 October. It’s a free entry gig and doors are at 1.00pm.
