Y-O-U were officially dubbed "alias rockers" in early 2008 in a cover story by
Southeast Performer Magazine, based on their many
alter-ego groups which appear throughout Atlanta on a regular basis: •
Three Dawgh Stephens (also spelled as
Three Dog Stevens) is a "sandal-rock" comedy trio and the subject of one of Y-O-U's mockumentary series. The band actually performs live in character (and in costume) outside of the filmed episodes. They have one song released online called "Furry Little Muskrat Woman." •
Constantly Awesome (formerly known as
The Tupperware Party) is a
cover band which plays mostly weddings and other private engagements. • The
Yacht Rock Revue is a large ensemble which performs exclusively
soft rock covers, mostly from the 1970s, inspired in part by the web series
Yacht Rock. They play public and private concerts and charity events. Both the Yacht Rock Revue and Y-O-U (as themselves) once played at the same festival on the same day. •
Please PleaseRock Me is a cover band focusing on the
Beatles music, both group and solo. •
Nigels With Attitude is an
XTC cover band. •
Uno Dos Tres Catorce is a
U2 cover band. •
The Ill-Eagles are an
Eagles cover band. •
Main Street Exiles are a
Rolling Stones cover band. •
Indianapolis Jones is a new original-music venture. •
Nespo Johnny is the name Nick Niespodziani uses for solo appearances, in which he performs Y-O-U songs and new original work. •
The Greater Vavoom is a funk/disco band. •
Limozeen is a mock-
glam metal band from the
Homestar Runner universe; Y-O-U has performed as the band, with Matt Chapman singing lead, at two concerts so far. •
Rock Fight is an
audience-decided musical battle between tribute sets to two other artists (the competitors in the "fight"). •
John Macentoeshka and the Mosseknuckles (defunct) was a Europop quintet which used to perform at random "pseudonymous" public appearances. •
The Flying Wallabies (defunct), the subject of another mockumentary series, was not a band at all, but a "competitive" jump-roping team. Despite the retirement of the original "Y-O-U" identity, the other active Pleaserock aliases continue to perform. ==References==
