There are tribute bands, and then there's BC/DC. They were born of bush party ashes in the summer of 1999. Some 1,000 unexpected gigs later, BC/DC has systematically redefined the concept of a tribute band, garnering iconic status amongst diehard fans from the backyard biker basshes of Ymir, to the star- studded legendary rooms of Las Vegas.

While a web search will turn up dozens of AC/DC cover acts around the world, there aren't likely many who've so successfully branded the Aussie band's timeless raunch with such epic rock n' roll fury, while also managing to bottle the essence of a wild frontier lifestyle.

Unlike many tribute acts claiming to be “North America's #1 Clone” or “Just Like the Real Thing”, BC/DC has turned the tables. The band takes a comedic approach, claiming the tunes as their own, and to having "heard of some BC/DC tribute band from Australia". They rarely give factual interviews to big city press. Adding to the schtick, the band members all go by comic aliases – lead singer Brendan Raftery's Brian "Bon" Johnscottson paying respects to both AC/DC's famous frontmen. It's working. It's the gift that keeps on giving.
