A U2 Tribute Band, but of a totally different kind...
We are long-time U2 fans who also belong to a 3D virtual world called Second Life®. Since 2005, in that world, we are a group of role players who go by the name of “U2inSL”. U2inSL stands for "U2 in Simulated Lives". We have created avatar character likenesses of Bono, The Edge, Larry Mullen Jr, and Adam Clayton. These avatars are run separately and manually by individuals from around the world. We believe we’re U2’s FIRST virtual tribute band!
Through streaming music technology, from time to time we hold concerts and events online for the entire Second Life® community. We role-play the real band using custom-made avatars, animations and concert sets (see photos!). We do this for fun and as a tribute to the band we love but, most importantly, to raise awareness of the various causes supported by U2—-such as One Campaign, Amnesty International, Music Rising, African Well Fund, Product Red, War Child and others. In the past few years, we have specifically supported Live & Learn in Kenya, NGO, also known as "Feed-A-Smile" which is directly in line with U2's support of poverty in Africa. We also have a Second Life U2inSL fan group which anyone in the virtual world can join. We make NO money on this endeavor.
The virtual 3D world of Second Life® allows for boundless ways of creativity. Second Life® is all about giving people the tools to be and express themselves virtually. Want to join us? Visit Second Life® to sign up for your own FREE account!
