I was quite surprised to know that there are bands
playing Tom's songs:)). One day, walking across Saint
Petersburg i noticed a poster on the doors of a club
advertising a performance of the band called "Billy's
Band" which performance having the name "Being Tom
Waits". It was really shocking for me!:) But i
couldn't manage to be there that night... Some time
passed away and i faced the same poster in Moscow! And
then i didn't miss the show! It was great! They
performed Tom's songs in a little bit different manner
(a bit different accordion and lead guitar) but with
almost the same voice!:)) They are actually only three
guys! Bass & Vocal man, accordion and percussion
buddy, and electric guitar lad:) Their site is
www.billysband.ru. I seem there are some mp3s to
download. They began with performing Tom's songs and
later launched their own songs which are not all so
good i seem (of course!:)) if it could be the other
way?:))))) Well, and here on the forum i read about
other bands "covering" Waits!:)) Nice!:)
