“…you won’t believe it’s not The Police...completely captures, not just the music of The Police, but their very essence...absolutely amazing” Ian Copeland
"...the best copy band I have seen to date…close your eyes and it's my boys..." Miles Copeland
“…every nuance, all the drum parts, and the singer has Sting down to a tee…” Stewart Copeland
In July 2003, Ian Copeland arranged the band to play Stewart Copeland's birthday party. With Ian, Stewart, and Miles in the audience, FALLOUT, ripped through all the classic Police tunes. Later in the evening, Stewart asked if he could sit in. FALLOUT and Stewart tore the house down with "Driven To Tears" and "Roxanne." For the band it was an honor and a solid affirmation of their efforts to play with one of the world’s most talented rock drummers ever and the founding member of The Police!

Whether it's a club, festival, private party or corporate function, FALLOUT: The Police Experience is an exciting, high-energy show that will amaze audiences and provide an adrenaline filled burst of nostalgia to anyone who spent their formative years in the 80s.
FALLOUT: The Police Experience was formed by David Rasner, (Sting), in the fall of 2002, in Hollywood, California. Named after the first single The Police, (unsigned, unknown, and without a record), released. When Mike Nieland, (Stewart), and then Pat Cherry, (Andy), were recruited, the band began to transform itself into a “fighting unit”, and within a year was playing every major club in Los Angeles. “Uncle” Ian Copeland met FALLOUT in 2003, and immediately befriended the band. He invited FALLOUT to play at The Backstage Café and arranged the meeting with Stewart. FALLOUT: The Police Experience was added to Coda Agency/The Copeland Group’s live roster in March of 2005. In the spring of 2006, Jimbo Head replaced Pat Cherry as FALLOUT’s guitarist.
