"The Essence of Quo".

This phrase sums up the aims and achievements of what arguably

has to be the best Status Quo tribute band in the business.

When formed midway through 2000, STATUS CLONE represented a new direction for those involved.

All had enjoyed successful playing careers. The millennium brought them together in what they intended to be the definitive tribute to STATUS QUO.

It's no easy feat to emulate the sight, sound and perhaps even more importantly, the spirit of the original, but STATUS CLONE plays tribute to QUO by successfully capturing all these ingredients in a fast moving, power packed stage show. Quo's best known numbers are delivered in typically hard-hitting manner, providing a crowd-pleasing performance guaranteed to "rock your socks off".

Unlike some Quo-copycats, STATUS CLONE do not adopt a restrictive 'purist' attitude regarding choice of material. Like QUO themselves, the band features many of the more recent hits as well as the earlier 'classics'. The emphasis is always firmly on generating a good-time atmosphere via familiar favorites, rather than re-creating obscure album tracks that only the most ardent fan might appreciate.

Simply put, STATUS CLONE are loud, lively and a whole lot of fun. Just like the real thing in fact - which of course is what being THE BEST QUO TRIBUTE BAND around is all about.
