CELEBRATE ST PATRICK’S DAY WITH U2-2
FORMED BY CURRENT MEMBERS IN 1993 UNDER THE NAME 'ACHTUNG BABY'. DURING THE '90'S, THE BAND QUICKLY BECAME THE GREATEST TRIBUTE TO U2 IN THE WORLD. GENERALLY REGARDED AS THE 'OFFICIAL' U2 TRIBUTE. THEY TRULY 'LOOK AND SOUND-A-LIKE.
THE BAND COMPLETED SUCCESSFUL TOURS OF THE UK, EUROPE, THE CHANNEL ISLES & THE MIDDLE-EAST. THEIR LARGEST SHOW IN IRELAND WAS AT THE 'POINT DEPOT' IN DUBLIN, TO OVER 7,000 PEOPLE. THEN IN HOLLAND, AS GUESTS OF THE ZOOROPEAN FANZINE, THE BAND GOT TO PLAY ALONGSIDE U2 AT THE MASSIVE 'FEYENOORD STADIUM' IN ROTTERDAM. TRAVELLING IN STYLE IN THEIR OWN 'POP-MART' TOUR BUS, THE BAND WERE ACCIDENTLY LED INTO U2's CHANGING ROOMS BY MISTAKE.
IN 1999 ORIGINAL BAND MEMBERS SPLIT TO PURSUE CAREERS AS ORIGINAL ARTISTS. BUT IN LATE 2008, LUKE PEPPER REFORMS THE 'ORIGINAL ACHTUNG BABY' LUKE & STEVE ARE JOINED ON VOCALS BY FRANK BRIDE, WITH ANDY BOTT TAKING UP ROLE OF LARRY MULLEN JNR. THE BAND CHANGE THEIR NAME TO 'U2-2', AS NOBODY LIKES THE NAME 'ORIGINAL ACHTUNG BABY', INCLUDING U2 THEMSELVES!
2009 WAS A GREAT SUCCESS & THE BAND WERE CHOSEN BY 'BLACKBERRY' TO DO PROMOTION FOR U2's '360' TOUR & ONCE AGAIN BECOME THE UK & IRELAND'S FAVOURITE U2 TRIBUTE!!
