Killdozer may be the greatest cover band ever. Because when they play a cover, no matter what it is, it comes out sounding exactly like a Killdozer song. Which is to say "extremely loud hillbilly sludge rock."
One of these days I'm gonna review "For Ladies Only" at Unsung (unless someone else does it first!) That's their LP with covers of Bad Co, James Gang, Conway Twitty, Elvis, Steve Miller Band, and (gack! yes even) "American Pie."
Also worth tracking down is a b-side from c. 1994 where they covered "Unbelievable" by EMF!
BTW -- a friend of mine is next door neighbors with Dan Hobson, the drummer. I see him down at the pub every now and then.
