Fleetwood Mac - The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown) - Live Cover
Friday 14th June 2024 we played a night of Fleetwood Mac. All their hits a few deep cuts, some Peter Green era songs and then Rumours in its entirety. Here we are playing this amazing Peter Green song The Green Manalishi (With the Two Prong Crown). This was a special song for Andy to play as it was a song his dad played to him a lot when he was a child. Today is Fathers Day (in the UK) and we thought t fitting to release it on our channel.
It was recorded by a member of the audience on their phone so the quality isn't brilliant.

I'm Not in Love - 10cc - Cover
zhlédnutí 851Před 2 měsíci
So, we went watching 10cc a few weeks ago and we were absolutely blown away. The best description we could come up with was 10cc is what would happen if The Beach Boys and Frank Zappa had a kid. The whole night was amazing but this song brought us to tears so we had to do our own version of it. We love this song so please be kind. We have tried to do our own thing with it while trying to stay r...
Rush - Spirit of the Radio - Live Cover
zhlédnutí 195Před 2 měsíci
This is probably the last video from the Imperial gig that we will put out and get back to recording some more songs at home but we had to release this. We love Rush and this is a great moment in our sets. A song that is universally loved. Spirit of the Radio from the Canadian rock band Rush, released from their 1980 album Permanent Waves. The song's name was inspired by Toronto-based radio sta...
Shakespeare Sister - Stay - Live Cover

Another live track from our gig at the Imperial in Mexborough. This time it's the amazing Stay by Shakespeare Sister. An iconic track from the early 90s. "Stay" is a song by UK-based pop act Shakespears Sister, released in January 1992 by London Records as the second single from their second album, Hormonally Yours (1992). The single was written by Siobhan Fahey, Marcella Detroit, and Dave Stew...
Iron Maiden - Phantom of the Opera - Live Cover
zhlédnutí 159Před 2 měsíci
Another live performance you lucky dogs. We love Maiden at Castle Strange and this is always an amazing song to play live. This song is inspired by the 1910 classic novel of the same name by French author Gaston Leroux (18681927), on which the famous broadway show by Andrew Lloyd Webber is also based (go see it, it is really great). The story is basically one of love, fame and jealousy, with a ...
Muse - Hysteria - Live Cover |

The Carpenters - (They Long To Be) Close to You - Cover
zhlédnutí 550Před 4 měsíci
Today's song is the beautiful song recorded by The Carpenters and written by Burt Bacharach and lyrics by Hal David. Everybody says how much Tracy sounds like Karen Carpenter when using this part of her voice. They aren't wrong. Such a gorgeous song and interesting chord structure. In 1970, "(They Long to Be) Close to You" was released by the Carpenters on their album Close to You (1970) and be...
Bo Burnham - That Funny Feeling - Cover
zhlédnutí 164Před 4 měsíci
Today brings you this incredible song by the ridiculously talented Bo Turnham from his (in our opinion) masterpiece special, Inside. This entire special had a very profound effect on us. Not just because it was filmed (and written, edited, recorded all by Bo himself) during the pandemic and is clearly about that. But, it is about so much more. Mental illness, how the internet is poisoning our c...
Stretch - Why Did You Do It - Cover
zhlédnutí 312Před 4 měsíci
So 3 hours ago we decided to cover this amazing song by Stretch. Learned, recorded, filmed and edited in 3 hours. Yes, that's how we roll. The story of Stretch and their one great song, Why Did You Do That Thing?, is odd but wonderful. It begins with a group of musicians cobbled together by Fleetwood Mac's manager to impersonate the real Mac for a US tour. The ruse failed and - the faux Mac unm...
The Supremes - You Keep Me Hangin’ On - Cover
zhlédnutí 542Před 5 měsíci
A few months ago we got asked to play a wake (yeah, we know). They are all huge Motown fans who gave us a list of songs they wanted us to cover. Now, we are already huge Motown fans but this song was an absolute highlight to learn and play live. So much so we had to stick it on our CZcams channel. Certain songs have a special alchemy about them and this is certainly one of them. How many incred...
Birdy - Keeping Your Head Up - Cover

"Keeping Your Head Up" is a song by English musician Birdy for her third studio album, Beautiful Lies (2016). It was written by Wayne Hector, Steve Mac, and Birdy and produced by the latter two. The song was relea...

Wading through all the footage earlier some of it really made us laugh so as a Happy New Year type of thing I have put a little compilation together of our mishaps. To be fair to us, most of it was really good and professional. Mostly because we didn't have the time to do it and every spare minute we got was focussed. As it says at the end of the video, we raised £1046.25 for The Welcome Centre...

By gum, I haven't heard this song in 3 decades! Great stuff, guys. ✌️❤️🤗
Thanks so much guys. There is some dark alchemy in this song.
Thank you for such a great cover of one of my favourite Beach Boys songs. Your cover is the only one I have heard that does the beautiful "weee yuuu" in the harmony which is one of my favourite parts of the song. Well done!
Oh wow. Thank you so much.
Very Nice
Its Jamie Davies I love listening to your music its amazing Face the Strange Band my mates and friends....
Thank you Jamie Davies. We are honoured
@@facethestrangeband Its Jamie Davies how long have you be singing and making music for @facethestarngeband my mates and friends??????????
The least known of all the John Barry Bond theme songs. It was “ too heavy to use for the opening Titles so it was used as a montage with Lazenby George Lazenby and Dianna Rigg. As others have noted Lyrics by Hal David. Louie Armstrong was too I’ll to play his trumpet but had just enough strength for the vocals. A heartbreakingly beautiful cover!! 10-10!!
This maybe the best compliment we've ever had. Thank you so much
That's a great version
Why have I just seen this?? I love bowie and Iove this song so much I have it tattooed.... Brilliant cover..thanQ.
Wow, thank you so much. Bowie is our hero.
@@facethestrangeband mine to....
Very nice, but why is the audio not in sync with the video?
My bad editing unfortunately
Wow! You did that!
We certainly did. Ha.
Well done!
Awesome Job!💃💃💃🎤🎤🎤🎵🎶🎼🎵🎶🎼

Kathie says… B E A U T I F U L!!!! BOTH OF YOU!!! I would love for you to perform: YOU’RE MY WORLD (Cilla Black) GIRL DON’T COME ( Sandy Shaw)and YEAH YEAH (Georgie Fame) ❤️❤️❤️🥰
Hi Kathie, thank you so much for the comments. They're such good suggestions. We have a Fleetwood Mac night that we are performing next week so we haven't had much chance to get any recording done but one that is out of the way with we will cover some of those songs.

Brilliant rendition, loved it ...... one of ELO's best songs.
It is certainly one of our favourite ELO songs. Thank you for the comment.
And plays guitar, too! This guy never ceases to amaze me ... czcams.com/video/GcpP2b5zu9I/video.html
Good rendition
That is really good guys ..... nice guitar work, and the lady has a great voice.
Thank you so much
quite nice!
Pretty nice arrangement but why do you have so much reverb on the vocals? Makes it sound like some cheap dive bar karaoke night. Lose the reverb and work on true song styling. Thanks for listening to my opinion
Thank you for your comment. The original has a substantial amount of reverb on the vocals. We was merely trying to replicate that using plug ins that come with Logic Pro.
Her voice color is so amazing. I love it!!!
Echo between Lyrics and rhythm, sound!
❤❤❤❤
Bien 😮😊
Wow! You brought to life Karen Carpenter again. I love that!
Wow thank you
Too high pitched, and the guitar player was over playing.
Cool.
well done people !
Thank you!
It's just things we tell ourselves when love ❤️ does not go well. But this it sounds like he IS in love still after all.😢
❤ Absolutely love xx
Thank you so much!!!
One thing that is missing is the violins. Love it when it comes into the second verse in the original song.
Agreed. If only we played the violin 😄
So so beautiful 👍👍🎵🎼🎵🎼🎸🎤🎸🎤🎸💯💯
Thank you so much our friend.
Difficult song to cover, and superb performances! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thanks buddy
Great memories 👍😎👍👏👏👏
Great song.
Great singing and well played my friends!!
Thank you, Rick.
Very nice version. Well done, guys. ✌️🤗❤️
Thanks so much guys. Hope you're well?
@@facethestrangeband We are reasonably well, all things considered. Thankyou. We hope you both are too.
Great job guys 👍🏻
Thanks so much
Beautiful cover of one of my top favorite Carpenters songs!! 👏🏼🙌❤️🎶
