About
Jimi 3 Exp is a tribute band for hire in Brisbane, QLD.
Three left-handed guitars, one right-handed Flying V played upside down, and two hours of Hendrix. That's the shape of this Brisbane tribute show. The guitar tricks all get an outing: teeth, behind the head, behind the back, between the legs. Twenty six songs across two sets, opening with Purple Haze and running through Fire, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, Stone Free and Spanish Castle Magic before Little Wing, Red House, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) close things out. Full production, lighting and two costume changes come with it. As a three piece, they need a decent stage for drums, a lead amp, a bass rig and a PA, plus wall space behind for the backdrop. Psychedelic blues, played loud.
The show
Two hours of Jimi Hendrix played by a three piece who take the guitar business seriously. Three left-handed guitars and a right-handed Flying V played upside down, and the tricks all get an airing across the night: teeth, behind the head, behind the back, between the legs. Twenty six songs over two sets. Purple Haze opens, then Fire, Hey Joe, Foxy Lady, Stone Free and Spanish Castle Magic, with Little Wing, Red House, All Along the Watchtower and Voodoo Child (Slight Return) closing it out. Full production and lighting come with it, plus two costume changes. It's psychedelic blues and it's played loud.
On the day
A stage with room for a three piece: drum kit, one lead amp, one bass rig and the PA. Nothing enormous, but tight corners won't work with a kit in the middle. The other thing to check is the wall behind the stage, because the backdrop hangs there and it's part of the show. So have a look at what's behind the performance area before you book, and say if it's glass, a window, or already covered in something.
