Spite Tribute Bands
Since the original Kalamazoo band, Spite, dissolved, several musical groups have emulated Spites style and public persona. This even includes adoption of the original band name:
- In 1996 such a group formed in Charlotte, North Carolina.
- In 1999 a “Spite” group formed in west-vlaanderen, Belgium.
- In 2001 a group in Nürnberg Germany, adopter use of the "Spite" moniker and Instrumental style.
- Most recently a Devizes, Southwest, United Kingdom version formed in 2006.
These are to be regarded as tribute bands, rather than the original on reunion tours, since none of these more recent incarnations of Spite contain any of the original members.

Famous quotes containing the words spite, tribute and/or bands:
“In spite of the air of fable ... the public were still not at all disposed to receive it as fable. I thence concluded that the facts of my narrative would prove of such a nature as to carry with them sufficient evidence of their own authenticity.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
“If it were not for the intellectual snobs who pay—in solid cash—the tribute which philistinism owes to culture, the arts would perish with their starving practitioners. Let us thank heaven for hypocrisy.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)
“According to the historian, they escaped as by a miracle all roving bands of Indians, and reached their homes in safety, with their trophies, for which the General Court paid them fifty pounds. The family of Hannah Dustan all assembled alive once more, except the infant whose brains were dashed out against the apple tree, and there have been many who in later time have lived to say that they have eaten of the fruit of that apple tree.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
