Los Angeles Bowie tribute The Band That Fell To Earth focuses on the live intensity of the Ziggy Stardust era while covering more than 50 songs across Bowie’s career, from Space Oddity to Blackstar, with costume changes and sonic accuracy.

The Band That Fell To Earth is a Los Angeles-based David Bowie tribute built around the live force of the Ziggy Stardust era, using Ziggy as a visual touchstone while covering material from across Bowie’s career.

The set reaches from early songs including Space Oddity and When I’m Five through to selections from Blackstar. The band carries over 50 Bowie songs in its repertoire and has added 80s and later-period material due to audience demand.

The show includes costume changes and a strong focus on sonic accuracy. It is fronted by fellow Londoner Julian Shah-Tayler, with performances centered on the raw, energetic feel of Bowie live in his heyday.

The band has been building its live show for nearly 3 years, playing mainly in California. A performance of Lazarus closed a set at LA’s Viper Room, and the band also closed both nights of the Labyrinth of Jareth costume ball.

LA Weekly named them one of the Top 10 Tribute Bands, and they have been billed as the greatest all-live tribute to David Bowie in the US. Julian Shah-Tayler has also performed with Kevin Armstrong and John Hutchinson from Bowie’s band.

Comments on the act include Absolutely Brilliant from Nick Launay, Very Impressed from David J, and Really Excellent from Dave Schulz.
