**Why we are dressed up like morons with capes !? It all begins in november 2005 with Rik (Rikkie) Dams, Kristof (Hurck)
Heurckmans and Bert ( Chubby) De Schutter who played together in another band. Because they had trouble finding a bass player and a singer, they gave up. While getting wasted at youthclub De Bogaard in Geel, they had this brilliant (?) idea to start a cover band like Me First And The Gimme Gimmes. The same evening Tim VDB and Kristof (Hatti) Van Den Broek came to De Bogaard. They were asked to join the band and that was the start of Cover Rangers! The band’s name came after some serious drinkin', until they had the idea to make a spin-off of the Power Rangers. As these punks play covers, this name was a logical consequence... In spite of all that, the problems weren't gone for our five heroes from Geel. Bass player Tim quit the band soon because of lack of time. At our first gig we had to defeat evil without a bass player, but with success !!! At our second gig, we still hadn't found our black ranger, but we managed just fine (what do you want when you play for a whole crowd of drunk people!?). Then something great happened ! Yannick H'madoun came to one of our rehearsals and told us he wanted to fulfil the impossible task of being the black ranger! From then these five rangers were ready to defeat evil and just like the Power Rangers our cool heroes also had a leader. No gigantic ugly head in a big cylinder shaped aquarium, but Nick (although he has a gigantic ugly head too) the "manager...backslash...roadie". Bram ( Kriek) Krieckemans, our technical sound robot, joined the band a little later.
Together they played some songs who were already covered by other bands like some songs of the Gimme Gimmes, Brown Eyed Girl by Lagwagon,... After a few rehearsals they began to put their favourite oldies in a punkrock jacket. That's how Mama Mia by Abba, Hero by Enrique Eglesias,... came alive. Good atmosphere and fun guaranteed, even your mom and dad will enjoy this. Cover Rangers is the ideal afterparty band, so don't miss the opportunity of booking them (see BLOG).
