Looking to start a Ramones cover band (Palmdale)

There is a wealth of material there, the songs are fun to play and people still love the Ramones. It's an under-served genre. Tribute style covers or straight up tribute if the right players come along. The Antelope Valley needs a band like this, whether they know it or not. You CL regulars will know I've put this ad up several times. Antelope Valley is preferred because logistically it just makes sense. It's a pretty small scene. The best tribute bands out there really clean up, but I'd do it mostly for fun because I love the Ramones! Several years ago I had a Ramones cover band. The songs and setlist were fun and exciting. When we played out it always went over well. In our short time we created a real buzz. My other buddy can no longer play in bands. If we can put this together, I know I can get us gigs, starting small at first of course. We can make it happen. I try to shake the tree regularly to catch the low hanging fruit. HMU. Thanks
