For the first time in Fargo, the next best thing to seeing the original members of Def Leppard will be performing at Hooligans in West Fargo. Def Repplica brings to the table what Def Leppard did in the early '80s with the songs, the outfits and the dedication to the fans and to the music. Def Repplica was Ray's idea (Ray portrays Rick Savage on stage) for a long time. "Def Leppard was the first band that I ever got into that I was able to follow from the beginning of their awesome career till today! They were my favorite back then when I was a kid and still are today! I just can't seem to shake'em!" Ray said. It became a reality for the group approximately a year ago.
Def Repplica stays true to Def Leppard by playing all the songs that were hits from the beginning with such song as "Armageddon It," "Hysteria," "Photograph" and "Foolin,'" and who can forget "Pour Some Sugar On Me," which the band claims, "Women yell for that song all night and who are we to not give a woman what she wants. Big dance number for the Lepp fans!" Other favorites to look forward to when seeing Def Repplica perform are songs like "Wasted" and "Rock of Ages" and the homage to the late Steve Clark, "Switch 625."
To see Def Repplica on stage is like seeing the shows from a concert arena and to be part of some of the most popular music videos from Def Leppard. The band has the 80's attire and replicates the performances from the original band to bring you the greatest tribute to the original band possible. Dane, whom plays Joe Elliot on stage describes the stage show, "We want to put on the second best Def Leppard show you'll see anywhere in the world and we think we do. People have been very receptive to us; it's all about having a good time. We like to think of every show as a party that we're throwing and we want everyone to have a great time, right along with us! Get right on up front and shake your ass because nothing gets us more into a show then having the fans enjoy what we are doing."
Def Repplica is set to hit Fargo on January 20, with a set list that will make any Def Leppard fan happy and with the outfits and the dedication to the band they are sure to bring back memories of the original shows and well as bring the in the round in your face tour back into reality. Def Repplica is a tribute band that prides itself on bringing the arena shows to the smaller venues. They have reconstructed the Def Leppard shows of the '80s to bring back the memories of past shows and create new ones. With so many excellent songs to choose from, everyone is sure to hear their favorite Def Leppard song when Def Repplica hits the stage.
