the word kopycat.png

The Kopycat Killers singer Stuart sounds so much like the real thing that huge producers (over 2 billion Youtube and Spotify streams) have sought him out especially to sing Killers remixes - and then their millions of fans around the world haven't been able to tell the difference. 

 

The Kopycat Killers first formed when he was told for the 200th time at one of his own gigs (in his originals rock band Lux Lisbon) that he 'sounds just like that bloke out of The Killers' and, being a huge fan, thought, "well why not!" - and set about assembling his band from his contacts in both the London and Newcastle rock scene, all of the highest calibre and to a man incredible and hugely experienced rock musicians with University Degrees in their respective instruments. 

The Kopycat Killers' attention to detail is intense, with their sets featuring authentic tones and sequenced studio sounds to emulate 'The Killers' own, the stage wear, the instruments, extra musicians, set choice and decoration* (including the Killers own famous 'K' keyboard stand), it's all present and correct.

Above all though, the musicianship, energy and the atmosphere created is top tier - and as huge fans, they take recreating The Killers wonderful songs and amazing shows very seriously indeed.

In Lux Lisbon, Stuart has sold out his own shows at venues that 'The Killers' themselves have played, such as Bush Hall and London Scala and now, as the Kopycat Killers the guys have headlined shows to thousands of people at events such as :-

 

1. Saturday Night Mainstage Headliners at Tribfest (The World's Biggest Tribute Festival - see videos

2. Mainstage Headliners at various huge, well established and respected Tribute Festivals to audiences of 5,000 and over (Big Tribute Fest Aberystwyth, Stoke Trentham Gardens, Guisborough Priory Summer Sounds and several more).
