Because of you I heard this today and I got to say its classic!
I had never heard of this band before and the cover was amazingly spot on!

    Hey Kim,

    I can't believe this post almost slipped past me.

    Thanks for stopping by and I'm thrilled to hear you discovered something new.

    Rock on!
    Michael

      You're traveling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead -- your next stop, the Twilight Zone.

      Like the Beatles and Zeppelin tour buses merged into one dimension..

      Enough to make you lay off those mushroom pizza's before bed.

      Eerily good.

    That was taken from an Aussie TV show called The Money Or The Gun hosted by Andrew Denton. The show ended each week with a different artist performing Stairway To Heaven.

    More info: The Money or the Gun - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    There was even a DVD with 25 versions of it called Stairways to Heaven. It's been discontinued, but occasionally pops up on eBay.

    Some of them are up on YouTube and can be found here:

    YouTube - andrew denton stairway to heaven

    Some of them are awful, some of them are interesting novelties, and some of them work. The final category illustrates that it must have been a great song to start with.

    BTW The reason you've never heard of the Beatnix is that they are a "tribute band" who play pubs and clubs across Australia, and to the best of my knowledge have never ventured out of that circuit, nor recorded any material. All the stuff they play at their shows is cover versions of Beatles songs anyway.

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.
