A TRIBUTE to legendary American band The Doors is coming to Weymouth Pavilion in the summer.

The Strange Doors are coming to the Ocean Room at Weymouth Pavilion on Saturday August 8.

Since the beginning of The Strange Doors' formation at the beginning of 2011, they have thrilled audiences up and down the country with their spellbinding performances.

In 2013, the band headlined at Festwich in Manchester, one of the UK's biggest tribute festivals.

They also performed in Paris for Doors singer Jim Morrison's 70th birthday and even performed with Jerry Scheff, the original bassist on The Doors' L.A. Woman album.

At a Strange Doors performance audiences will experience ad-libbed poetry, a singer that jumps into the air and writhes on the floor (whilst conjuring the Lizard King with his rich baritone voice), those crisp organ sounds of Ray Manzarek cutting through the air with beautiful precision, bluesy slide guitar and powerful, yet subtle drumming that punctuates the music and vocals.

While they use the exact instruments that the Doors used, The Strange Doors do not merely recreate The Doors' classic catalogue; their shows are events unto themselves, much like The Doors' own shows were - tight, but with an air of excitement, spontaneity and improvisation.

With their authentic instruments and sets crafted through years of experience, the Strange Doors invite audiences to immerse themselves in the vibe, to move to the hypnotic beat and to allow the sound to help them break on through to the other side.

The two hour performance starts at 7.45pm and also includes a psychedelic projection show.
