The Simpsons Tribute

Overview

From the show's iconic theme song, to Lisa's love of the saxophone, to the parade of great bands that have graced its animated frames, The Simpsons and music go hand in hand. Odes to monorails, musical versions of Planet of the Apes, mournful ballads about the Kwik-E-Mart — they're all as engrained in the series' history as Bart's skateboard, Homer's doughnut love and the Flaming Moe.

Indeed, everyone has a favourite Simpsons' song, and several others they just can't get out of their head. They're what Perth-based muso Dan Cribb will be belting out at his late-night gig. It's an unofficial part of BIGSOUND, and it promises to deliver the Springfield-loving goods.

Hitting up The Brightside from 11pm on September 5 (and no, not Brisbane's western suburb of Springfield), Cribb will ask patrons to see his vest, sing about their favourite talking ape (ohhh, Dr Zaius!), ponder who rigs every Oscar night and more. It's a set worth staying up for, it's free, and it's just a taste of the rocker's ongoing Simpsons' punk tribute: Worst Tribute Ever.
