Night of the Living Tribute Bands (NOTLTB) is to musicians what Procession of the Species is to artists. But instead of life-size whales constructed out of reclaimed wood, it's Marshall stacks, rocker stances and an emulation of a band that takes months to perfect.

Held at the Capitol Theater, NOTLTB is in the business of resurrecting famous, favorite bands. This year, The Specials, Siouxsie and the Banshees, Beastie Boys, They Might Be Giants, The Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, and Iron Butterfly will rock the stage.

A recurring theme with the bands is that they strive to make their tribute as true to life as possible, bringing in the same instruments, costumes and nuances to the stage as their music heroes would have.
