Description
San Francisco's 14 piece Michael Jackson tribute band Foreverland played their first gig only five days before the King of Pop was found dead. If that wasn't strange enough, several months later they received a threatening letter from the Michael Jackson estate demanding they change their name, which was originally Neverland. That's a lot of grief for a band just trying to pay some homage to Michael Jackson while having tons of fun. With four vocalists, crisp horns and a super-tight rhythm section, Foreverland aren't the kind of tribute band that wants to do an impression of the great Michael Jackson. No, they're the wedding band version of his career. And people everywhere are having a blast in spite of themselves. By Aaron Carnes sanjose.com
