“The World’s Greatest Tribute Bands” concert series has returned for a 3rd season on AXS TV. Hosted by the music maven Katie Daryl, this one-hour series features bands performing tributes to some of music’s most iconic acts live from the Sunset Strip venue, Whiskey A Go-Go. In total, there are 15 new bands playing this season including tributes to Stevie Nicks, Motley Crue, Bruce Springsteen, and Beastie Boys. On Monday, February 10^th, I had the pleasure of seeing a fantastic No Doubt tribute band perform called No Duh.

From the moment I stepped into Whiskey A Go-Go and heard No Duh start to play, I felt like I was at a No Doubt concert. These guys are legit! With a dead-on look and sound that singer Gwen Stefani has called “amazing,” No Duh perfectly recreates the high-energy experience of a No Doubt concert. No Duh draws from the pop-ska band’s entire career, as well as Stefani’s solo material. Given only an hour to play as it is televised, No Duh did their best to play many No Doubt classic hits, including, “I’m Just A Girl,” Spiderwebs,” “Don’t Speak,” “Hey Baby,” “It’s My Life,” “Holla Back Girl” and more. With an infectious enthusiasm, No Duh completes the experience with iconic costumes and props from No Doubt’s music videos.

Stay tuned for my next review next month from this fun concert series!
