About us –
We are a NEW east midlands-based band consisting of a female singer, drummer and guitarist. We are in need of a good bass player to complete the line-up.
We play mainly 80’s pop/rock taking on some of the biggest and best classics from the era, think Starship to Michael Jackson. We may venture into classic 90’s as things progress. We have already started preparing the first batch of songs in the studio.
We will be advertising to play weddings/ parties and functions around February next year, by which time we are looking to have around 30-40 songs in our arsenal. Ideally we’d like to be gigging once or twice a month.
PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS NOT A PUB BAND.
We use professional live backing tracks for keyboard and backing vocal harmonies, controlled by LogicPro and a Macbook. It works superbly, accurately recreating keyboard parts that could not be pulled off by a single keyboard player. We don’t use midi or cheap sounding effects!
The 3 of us are in our late 20’s to early 30’s, we play entirely for fun and for the thrill of it all, no ego’s or drama’s just music to be made and a lot of fun to be had. We’ve all come from gigging bands with lots of experience both live and in the studio.
We rehearse fortnightly at Quad Studios in Leicester, typically on a Monday evening.
Once the set list is finished and polished, we will setup a band page and register on the bands for hire sites such etc. In addition to this we’ll look at doing some studio recordings and some live videos to use for advertising later on.
