The band have recently been selected to perform on the live National TV program The World's Greatest Tribute Bands, which as you probably guessed, seeks to find the best cover band out there. The group's performance airs on May 6.
The show pits 12 bands that play the music of groups like of Fleetwood Mac, Elton John, Van Halen, Queen, the Doors, and U2 against each other. The event takes place each Monday at The Roxy Theatre on Sunset.
