The Atomic Punks are the greatest, even David Lee Roth mentioned them in his book saying "they do Van Halen better than VH"! I'm a HUGE VH myself and know Ralf the singer. I've played in many tribute bands and have opened for the Punks as well at Paladino's in the San Fernando Valley a few years ago. My first tribute band was an AC/DC tribute band based out of Orange County called OC/DC. My next one (and most successful) was a Megadeth tribute band called Hangar 18. We played lots of gigs all over California and got to headline a major Metal show in El Paso, TX and also opened for Danzig in Vegas. Unfortunately I had to quit my band when I moved to Phoenix but have been performing with an Iron Maiden tribute band out here (and a G'n'R tribute for a short time) since 2005 now!
Rock on!
