“Quite simply the best tribute band on planet rock” – The Sun
“A real laugh…this one’s a blast!” – Daily Mail
“The 21st Century Stones are a gas, gas, gas” – BBC Radio
The 21st Century Stones replicate the sound and the style of the Rolling Stones live performances in the late 60's through to the mid 70's.
Since their formation in 1998, The 21st Century Stones have worked hard to establish themselves as one of the UK's leading tribute acts. The band is comprised of actors/musicians who have all worked professionally in such West End musicals as Buddy and Return to the Forbidden Planet.
Taking advantage of the fact that the bands members are all around the same age as the Stones in their heyday, The 21st Century Stones set out to authentically recreate the energy and atmosphere of the Rolling Stones seminal live performances of that period. ‘The Rock n Roll Circus’, ‘The Free Gig at Hyde Park’ and the ‘Get Yer Ya Yas Out’ tour along with live recordings such as ‘Got Live If You Want It’ and ‘Flashpoint’ became the inspiration for the look and sound of the 21st Century Stones.
The band firmly believe that it's not only the Rolling Stones amazing back catalogue, which includes some of the greatest hits of all time, that has kept the Rolling Stones at the forefront of British rock ‘n’ roll for over forty years, but their ability to put on a show wherever they perform. This is what the band aim to do: they're not about just recreating the records note for note, but giving audiences a taste of what it was like the first time round, inspiring many people to comment that it was just like when they saw the Stones in the sixties.
If you want to hear a copy of the recorded versions of the songs, go home get the records or CDs out and listen to them - they can't be beaten. But if you want to be transported back in time (and don't mind a bit of tongue in cheek humour) then put those records back in their sleeves and GET STONED with THE 21st CENTURY STONES.
