Stipe have been around since 1996. The first line-up was formed by Rick Southern and gigged mainly in the North of England and Scotland. Over the next few years Rick also fronted Midlands-based "Monster" playing many gigs throughout the U.K and Europe, honing and perfecting Michael Stipe's very individual stage persona.
R.E.M. fans say really great things about Stipe. Fan sites like murmurs.com and myrem.com contain many threads about the band. Here are some quotes, taken from pages which can be accessed via the Reviews section of the website.
"arguably better than the live performance by REM themselves(dare I say that?)"
"My advice to you - If you hear Stipe are playing a gig near you then drop everything and go and see them."
"Stipe's outstanding performance of R.E.M. music is second to none, not to be missed" Even MICHAEL STIPE himself said that the band sounded "Awesome" You can't get much better than that
There are many cover bands that claim to be "the ultimate" or "the U.K's No.1".
Stipe take this to another level; off-stage, down-to-earth and approachable - on-stage enthusiasm and energy make compelling viewing, maintaining the essence that is R.E.M.
Stipe the most dedicated cover band to R.E.M.
