MUSE X KILLERS Tributes @ Saltbox Bar, Nottingham

Simulation Muse and The Runaway Killers began life as ProtoStereo in 2014. Regarded amongst many venues as one of the highest quality cover bands on the live entertainment circuit, they held their audiences with their renditions of some of the biggest modern rock hits of the last 20 years. An uncanny likeness to a certain two bands was soon apparent and in 2016 they began a double tribute to Muse and The Killers, playing festivals, theatres and venues all over the country. After a few years, in 2019, they separated the tributes, giving birth to The Runaway Killers and Simulation Muse.

Expect massive hits like Plug In Baby, Supermassive Black Hole, Knights Of Cydonia, Human, When You Were Young, Mr Brightside and many many more!
