LA's All Girl AC/DC Tribute Band is quickly becoming one of the most notorious and popular Tribute bands ever!!!

 

The dynamic group includes:

Dyna Shirasaki - lead vocals

Tina Wood - lead guitar

Trudi Keck - rhythm guitar

Andrea Zermeno - bass

Stephanie Leigh - drums

 

 

Whole Lotta Rosies was founded in 2000 - in Los Angeles- by rhythm guitarist Trudi "T-Bird" Keck. Her concept of an all girl AC/DC tribute band quickly took off after recruiting the rest of the musicians. Whole Lotta Rosies was selling out L.A. clubs, and began to gain respect and recognition. Soon they were packing the House Of Blues. From there W.L.R. went on playing larger venues, outdoor festivals, they had the opportunity to open for Alice Cooper, they toured in Europe and Japan.

 

It was one of the first all girl AC/DC tributes at the time. WLR has had some line up changes in the last 4 years, in fact W.L.R. spawned other all girl AC/DC tribute bands. Musicians that played in W.L.R. at one point or another picked up the concept and went on forming their own AC/DC tributes.

 

“The current line up is the strongest WLR ever had. We have Jenny on bass guitar, who started the Iron Maidens (an all girls Iron Maiden tribute band) and Coreen on vocals (who founded The Hottie Knockers - another successful all girl band) Both of these girls lead their own bands to success and national recognition. They know what it takes to keep it going. Then we have Susan, (from Barracuda - yes, another all girl tribute band) who's just adorable, and an amazing guitar player. On Drums, the beautiful Yumi (also from the Hottie Knockers) She gives us AC/DC's heartbeat... it has to be exactly right. Not faster, not slower. If the groove sits, the magic comes to life, and Yumi lays it down as it's meant to be. “- says Trudi...

 

Musicians dream of playing the greatest songs ever written, seeing the crowd going crazy , selling out venues and touring the world. We're doing exactly that! These are not our songs. True. We're a tribute band, but we're living our dreams. We get to do what we like to do. We have a good time, the crowd has a good time. That's all what matters

 

Also featuring Laurie Keck on keys for the hit song "It's a Long Way to the Top".

This sexy all girl band combines the raw power of AC/DC, with a hard hitting, heart pounding and electrifying performance!!!
