AC/DC tribute band plays Whitefish show

| May 15, 2013 7:00 PM

AC/DC tribute band — the aptly named BC/DC — will perform at the Great Northern Bar and Grill in Whitefish May 24 and 25.

Unlike many tribute acts claiming to be "North America's No. 1 Clone" or "just like the real thing,” BC/DC has turned the tables. The band takes a comedic approach, claiming the tunes as their own and acknowledging having "heard of some BC/DC tribute band from Australia.”

Adding to the schtick, the band members all go by comic aliases, with lead singer Brendan Raftery’s Brian "Bon" Johnscottson paying respects to both AC/DC's famous frontmen.

BC/DC’s live show has become legendary. With over-the-top stage energy, the band delivers every last note of all the classic songs with absolute authority.

BC/DC is heavily rooted in the Bon Scott-era catalog (“Dirty Deeds,” “TNT,” “Jailbreak,” “Let There Be Rock”), but also covers AC/DC’s second “golden era” with all the essentials, including “Back in Black,” “For Those About to Rock,” “Hells Bells” and many more.

The band plays around 9 p.m. both nights in Whitefish. The Great Northern is pre-selling 200 tickets for each performance at $12 each.
