SEDATED is a four-piece Ramones tribute endorsed by the Ramone family — Mickey Leigh (Joey Ramone’s brother), Linda Ramone, and Vera Ramone. This puts the act in TSE’s elite “directly endorsed by the original artist family” tier.
The Ramones are universally regarded as the founders of American punk rock: 2002 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction, 2011 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award, and a catalog (“Blitzkrieg Bop,” “I Wanna Be Sedated,” “Sheena Is a Punk Rocker,” “Rockaway Beach,” “Pet Sematary,” “Beat on the Brat,” “Teenage Lobotomy”) that defined punk rock and influenced four decades of rock music.
All four original Ramones members are deceased: Joey Ramone (2001), Dee Dee Ramone (2002), Johnny Ramone (2004), and Tommy Ramone (2014). The Ramones will never tour again, ever. SEDATED is the only credentialed way to experience the Ramones catalog live with direct Ramone-family endorsement.
Documented credentials:
Endorsed by Mickey Leigh, Linda Ramone, and Vera Ramone — three direct family connections to the original Ramones. Dallas-Memphis based with sustained national PAC, casino, and festival touring footprint, plus pairing potential with TSE’s broader hard-rock and punk-adjacent tribute roster.
SEDATED is a proven fit for:
SEDATED performs the Ramones catalog audiences most want to hear with the high-velocity, punk-rock authenticity the originals demand.
SEDATED is a four-piece Ramones tribute based in the Dallas-Memphis area. The act delivers the high-velocity, punk-rock authenticity the originals demand — short songs, fast tempos, leather jackets, the “1-2-3-4!” count-in.
The most distinctive credential is the direct Ramone family endorsement: Mickey Leigh (Joey Ramone’s brother), Linda Ramone (Johnny Ramone’s widow), and Vera Ramone (Dee Dee Ramone’s ex-wife) have all endorsed SEDATED. No other Ramones tribute in the country holds this level of direct family endorsement.

Ramones tributes with direct Ramone family endorsement from THREE separate family members (Mickey Leigh, Linda Ramone, Vera Ramone) are essentially nonexistent outside of SEDATED. TSE can also recommend other Ramones or 1970s/80s punk rock tribute options for buyers exploring alternatives.
