Does anyone know of RUMOURS, the Fleetwood Mac tribute band?
 

I was getting a good laugh at some of the tribute bands on this site. Then I came across the Fleetwood Mac tribute. They really don't look anything like the band but the Stevie impersonator sure sounds a lot like her. I'm cringing at the Lindsey one though.

I saw them a few years ago at The Odeon here in Cleveland. I had a great time. I thought the performances were exciting and I know I sang and twirled like a fool. But, NATURALLY they fell short of the real thing!

They performed at The Wild Heart Affair (Stevie fan party) in San Francisco a couple years ago. I thought they were great, but my friend swears they were awful. I was a little toasted so who knows...? :shrug:

I did see a Canadian tribute band called Rumours a few years ago (at Carlos & Charlie's in Austin). But I can't tell if these are the same people or not?? The Stevie girl looks the same, but I don't really recognize anyone else. I remember when I saw them, the LB, John and Mick guys made NO effort to dress up like any of them. So, it ended up looking like a couple of Stevie/Chris wannabes and some random backup musicians.

I came across them too!!! I just.... *cringe* is that supposed to look like Lindsey?!!? oh goodness! He looks creepy!!!

My favorite tribute band though is Fleetwood Bac just because they look funny and they chose such a dumb name!!! Yes, Fleetwood Mac is back...but it's not you!

LOL! Fleetwood Bac sound fantastic! They are great muscicians and love what they do! My best friend is their 'Stevie'

Their version of "The Chain" kicks ass! He's got Lindsey's guitar style down and this version is like the Mirage show's ... except apparently they close with it. Haha and when they say goodnight to the audience, I think they sound like Spinal Tap, but that's just me. :lol:

LOL! I'll have to tell them that! Hehe..Matt (Lindsey) is fantastic on the guitar

Bwa ha ha ha ha spinal tap! That was a great movie. Wasn't it? ::starts thinking about all the crazy spinal tap memories:: Bwa ha ha ha ha ::giggles like mad::: :laugh:

I've had the pleasure to see the Canadian Tribute Band Rumours, several times, and they are not only a really good band, but good people. The show in Austin, was tough as their guitar player unexpectedly didn't make the trip. They arrived at 4:00pm and had to be on stage at 8:00pm.. They found someone in Austin and had to work out the show there and then. I've been to shows, where they get more attention and applause then the national acts. I've talked to the singer who is super down to earth and justs trys to put forth an entertaining show. If you have a chance you should give them a chance. Also, remember, there is one Canadian Rumours and a U.S. Rumours. The Canadian Rumours has now re-vamped the band, adding an additional guitar, more diverse songs from Stevie and a even more entertianing show.

There used to be a Rhode Island based band called Rumours. They don't look like the band at all which is nice. They just cover all Mac songs and they really don't try to sound like them. The last time that they were playing anywhere here was in the summer of 2003 but I was actually traveling to see the real Mac during those times so I havn't seem them since January 2003.

I don't know if they are still around since the lead singer lives in LA.

I saw the canadian Rumours band a couple of months ago here in St. Louis. THey were really good! I didn't know what to expect, but I was very impressed. The Stevie girl did a GREAT version of Talk to Me. Close your eyes and you could barely tell the difference. (well for Talk to Me...though she still sounded a lot like her on other songs, too.)

I saw a different incarnation of that band (the stevie girl looks different) about 5 years ago and i was blown away. The were so good!

I asked them to come to the east coast. They said they would when they got money!!

I really think it's them!

Hi

I've had the pleasure of watching 'Rumours of Fleetwood Mac' (tribute band) who hail from Liverpool. They are excellent, although they don't look like the real FM members they sound really great. They also have a website.

I've seen them several times this year - all really good. I know they're going to be in Bay City, Michigan in August 24th - anyone else going to that. This is their fourth year in a row. It should be extra special as they are bringing some special guests. If anyone has seen them, let me know. :blob1:

Sweet sassy molassy! Well, well, well, guess where my husband is taking me for his birthday, LOL! That would be really cool to see, I wonder if it's the place by the river with the big arch thing? My mom used to take me there every year to see Phil Dirt and the Dozers. :)

Wow, they definitly have the image part down! I'm totally digging the Lindsey, he so looks like if Gene Simmons and Lindsey Buckingham had a baby togeather!

LMAO.. I'll have to tell Matt (FB's Lindsey) that! :lol:

Canadian "Rumours" band....
 

I have seen them a few times and they are absolutely fantastic!!! They do FM`s songs perfectly!! Definitely check them out if you have the opportunity!

Ah, tribute bands.

Slightly off-topic, but here in Aus there is a long standing Beatles tribute called Beatnix.

One George got too old, so they made him John instead.

Yep, the place by the river with the big arch. Did you go?

No, unfortunatly my husband could not be persuaded. Some people are so selfish, all doing what they want to do for their birthdays! LOL! Oh well, guess I'll have to wait till next time. Did you go?

Yeah, I went - I love it there...being outside and all. This was their forth time and I'd be surprized if they didn't return next year. Happy Birthday! :woohoo: It was a lot of fun.

Has anyone seen Rumours: Tribute to Fleetwood Mac Featuring the music of Stevie Nicks, from Ontario, Canada lately? How many FM/SN Tribute bands are in Canada? Has anyone seen any of them? I see they are linked to the Booking House and to Continental Entertainment in Ontario. Any links to any others?

I'm supposed to go see "Rumours of FM" on Feb 4th next year, which should be good. Gotta add Fleetwood Bac were amazing and I hate not being able to get in touch with the fireflies girls (and guys)...(hiya pip :)) and go and see them again! For someone whos never been able to see the real thing..it was a great night.

Speaking of...
 

The Rhode Island based Rumours tribute band is playing here at a gambling place Nov. 25.

Scroll down for the info.

I'd love to see those guys! Bummer they don't play out here. Bella Donna is about the only one who plays frequently down here, & she don't do Fleetwood Mac.

:laugh: Sorry, this made me giggle quite a little bit.

The singer is from RI but I think that she is out in Los Angeles now. I am hopefully going to go see them and I sort of know the lead singer so I can find out some more info for you. I haven't seen them in a long time and I am sure that they have some new members.

Where are you located? There are several Rumours in the U.S. and one from Canada. The Canadian one also plays in the states a lot.
