Bad CCR Tributes

I think I'm finally going to start a collection of BAD CCR tribute bands from around the globe.

FYI, my definition of bad includes: Out of tune vocals; singers who aren't even close to properly pronouncing the lyrics; Singers who don't really sound much like John Fogerty; Bands who play 80s-style instruments (banana-shaped guitar necks, double kick drums, heavy-metal basses); and just any group of musicians who completely miss the boat about what made Creedence Clearwater Revival so timelessly fantastic, now & then.

In particular, CCR tributes from South America seem to hold the title for the worst tributes in the world. Why this is, is a mystery. All I know is this: Even the crappiest, most desperate bar in Nowheresville, USA wouldn't hire them.

First up: Witness "Swamp Factory" from somewhere in the southern American hemisphere slugging through "Who'll Stop The Rain." Enjoy?
