RSSTragedy: A Metal Tribute to the Bee Gees
You know that I have a fondness for cover songs (see my FineTune Friday Covers Playlist and you know I have much love for heavy metal, but while reading Mixx the other day, I came across one of the most aptly named bands that I have found in a long time.
The band is called Tragedy, and they do all-metal covers of Bee Gees songs. I’m sitting here laughing and shaking my head at the sheer amount of wrong that is packed into this band’s very existence, yet I listened to nearly every song on their myspace page.
Just so you can feel the evil, here’s a sample of their work. It’s just. So. Wrong. If this is the kind of thing that you can’t get enough of, the band is hosting their CD release party at Bill’s Bar in Boston tonight.

I have such huge love for weird covers (i.e. my unadulterated love of Luther Wright & The Wrongs bluegrass version of Pink Floyd’s “The Wall”).
I so wish I were in Boston to see this show. I could get my soprano voice going AND throw my hair around with abandon!

This is so wrong. But …. I really dig it.

“I’m sitting here laughing and shaking my head at the sheer amount of wrong that is packed into this band’s very existence.”
Wrong…or awesomeness?

I think we’re all in agreement about the confusing nature of Tragedy. There is no way that you want to like it, but it’s hard to turn away…

This is a really neat find. I can’t quite decide if I hate it or love it, but based on the fact that I listened twice, I guess it grows on you. I would most definately listen to the cd to check it out. Leave it to you to find Metal Bee Gees!
