FACELESS ARE NOT THE FACELESS
I was recently explaining to Miss Angela how shitty my hometown venue is, in upstate New York: The Chance. One band that frequents the stage up there is a band called Faceless. Like many tend to do, I’m sure, Angela immediately thought I was referring to The Faceless:
Nope, I wasn’t talking about the tech metal band, I was talking about FACELESS (no The). Who are they, you ask?
Faceless are THE ULTIMATE TRIBUTE TO GODSMACK. Yes, someone started a Godsmack tribute band. The worst part about it is that this isn’t even the only one out there. This isn’t even the only one NAMED Faceless. Apparently, none of these people bothered to Google their name before using it.
So consider this a warning, children. If you’re walking by your favorite venue and you see FACELESS written on the marquee, make sure it’s the one you actually want to see. Something tells me you’ll be a little pissed walking in, expecting some kick-ass death metal, and are instead welcomed by a Sully Erna wannabe.
That said, Faceless are playing The Chance again on Saturday, April 10th. I’ll let you guess whether or not I’ll be there….
Any other similar band names out there that are dangerous to mix up?
