BAND BIO's
Quensis - The Band of Confusion
The Ultimate Tribute to Genesis and Queen
Quenesis - The Band of confusion are a newly created tribute band that aims to accurately recreate the stadium style music of the legendary rock bands Genesis and Queen.
Based in North Yorkshire, we've brought together several genunely talented and experienced musicians from across the region for this exciting project.
We pride ourselves on the accuracy of our live arrangements and are working hard to finalise our theatre tribute show of two halves - all the hits double the band experience.
We will be available for bookings from Spring 2026 and look forward to seeing you at a venue soon
