About
Scopyons are a new North West UK based tribute band to the German Rock Band The Scorpions
Biography
So why are they called sCOPYons? Hopefully the capital letters method of spelling the name will explain the name is just simply we are a COPY of the Scorpions but it also is given more meaning because its also what Scorpions frontman Klaus Meine sounds like he is saying when he says Scorpions…………Founder member Nige did have to explain this even to certain intelligent friends and members of the band.
The embers of The Scopyons were formed in late 2011 when 5 North West based musicians decided to get together a definitive UK based tribute to the great German Rockers The Scorpions. The band was founded by Nige Roberts, better known to some as the lead vocalist for reformed Liverpool NWOBHM rockers Marseille who toured the UK extensively back in the late 70′s with Judas Priest, Whitesnake, UFO, Gillan and Nazareth. Nige joined Marseille in February 2009 and recorded an ep called Fourplay and a full album called Unfinished Business and the band toured the UK and also appeared at the prestigious Hard Rock Hell Festival in Prestatyn. Nige had some down time after the re-launch of Marseille and he turned to fellow North West musicians Daz Green, Barry Lowe, Paul Anderson and Phil Gavin to finally put together a definitive UK Scorpions tribute, something the lads had long since talked about but Nige’s Marseille commitments had previously taken priority.
Scopyons have a leaning toward the post Uli Jon Roth era (1978 Lovedrive up to the present day) and as 2012 was officially the real Scorpions last year of regular touring there probably has never been a more perfect time to unleash the UK’s first full 5 piece definitive Scorpions tribute band and YES they do 'sometimes' play Wind Of Change!!!!
