Welcome to MockStars.com!

They are, at once, strangely familiar and deceptively strange. They are, literally, the unsung heroes of rock. They are tribute bands, and this is the rock & roll twilight zone. Tribute bands meticulously recreate the look and sound of one particular rock band at the peak of their career. Hundreds of these bands have sprouted up across the globe. From Abba to Zeppelin, Simply Red to Deep Purple, Poison to the Cure, if you never got a chance to see the real thing, here's the next best thing: MockStars.com ® Our band registry database is being built from the ground up so that it is populated with only proactive "working bands". We are also compiling databases of booking agencies, and venues who promote tribute acts. Our services should increase the booking opportunities and worldwide exposure of your band, or agency. We plan to streamline our services and information to be intuitive, and enjoyable! But MOCK STARS isn't just a website. It's also a documentary film project, directed by John Dorsey & Andrew Stephan, and produced by Tom Troy. Over the past two years, we have chronicled the scene in the United States through the eyes of the following tribute bands:

THE FAB FOUR REVOLUTION STICKY FINGERS SPACE ODDITY LED ZEPAGAIN ATOMIC PUNKS

(Beatles) (Beatles) (Rolling Stones) (Ziggy Stardust/ David Bowie) (Led Zeppelin) (David Lee Roth-era Van Halen)

With over 50 hours of performance and interview footage on these bands, we already have an interesting feature length documentary on our hands. However, we feel strongly that doing a comprehensive study on this phenomenon without examining its incarnations AROUND THE WORLD would be to sell the subject matter short. Consequently, we are gearing up for a full-tilt, kick-ass Mock Stars World Tour! So register with MockStars.com now! It's free and you may get a chance to be part of the definitive tribute band documentary. From those about to rock, we salute you! Click here for a glimpse of MockStar glory!
