The Humps - Camel Tribute Band - Live in Europe

[The Humps - Camel]

The Humps - Camel Tribute Band - 2013 European Tour

The Humps, Camel’s No.1 tribute band are embarking on their second
European tour March 14 2013.
The Humps were formed with the goal of reviving Camel’s timeless
compositions, aiming at younger (and older) crowds who might not get a
chance to hear Camel’s music live.
Returning to Europe after a short and well perceived tour in 2008. The
Bands musical diet consists mainly on Camel’s classic era. the 70’s,
with albums like “Camel” “Mirage” “The Snow goose” “Moonmadness” and
others. While playing a 2 hour set it’s almost impossible to leave a
camel fan unsatisfied.

Upcoming dates:
15.3.13 @ Musiktheater REX, Bensheim, Germany
16.3.13 @ Bergkeller,Reichenbach, Germany
18.3.13 @ OK Andaluzja, Piekary Slaskie, Poland
21.3.13 @ Spirit of 66, Verviers, Belgium
22.3.13 @ boerderij, Zoetermeer, Holland
23.3.13 @ De Pul, Uden, Holland

If I was looking for an oasis, parched out in a musical desert,
picking "Camel" to clone might be a good rock thing to do.
Camel was highly influential for progressive rock bands,
but they never really made it big in North America,
and it would seem to me, in Europe either.

I recommend using an electronic drummer, trying modern beats, even slacker beats,
and see what it does to their music.
Updating them would be cool, just like bass'n'drum treatments of Jimi Hendrix, that sell.
