Tragedy (Bee Gees)

“The problem with an original band is you have to describe it,” says Pete Kohl, a.k.a. Mo’Royce Peterson of the tribute band Tragedy. “What we do is easy to explain – we do heavy metal versions of Bee Gees songs. We say that and people want to hear it.” Since its inception in August of 2007, Tragedy has become a staple of New York’s burgeoning, somewhat offbeat tribute band scene. This weekend, the group will headline B.B. Kings with a number of other similar-minded acts. We spoke with Kohl about his group’s conceptual genius and self-described “decimating” live show.
