Mutha's Ruin is the name of the 80's Metal covers band I'm putting together with the view of going pro with it. I am wanting it to be more than your average t-shirt and jeans plug in and play outfit. I personally have 30 years experience and have many ideas of what we can achieve even on an initial shoe-string budget (eg. set design, stage wear, etc). I also want to get away from the usual songs covered (so no excruciating versions of Enter Sandman and Sweet Child Of Mine here!), and have come up with, what I think, would be a very entertaining set list while covering songs that not many (if any!) bands, other than tributes would cover, thus making us more bookable.
We are now looking for a solid drummer and excellent vocalist (male or female). The criteria are that you have previous experience (sorry, no beginners!!), you have your own gear (naturally), and transport, love the music we're playing (see the list below) because I've been in the situation too where there's several songs in the set list that I didn't like but played through professionalism (and gritted teeth!!) and most importantly be 100% into what we're doing and where we're aiming. I want this to eventually be a pro band (giving up the day job, finding an agency, management, doing our own taxes, travelling the length and breath of the country etc), offering more than your usual t-shirt & jeans plug in and play covers band. I want people going ''WOW'' and wanting us to come back for more. I have my ideas, but obviously don't want to put them on here for someone else to go out and pinch!! Gigs initially will be as and when everyone is available and be used to get the name about, and also allowing us time to build on said ideas, as well as any new ideas that you can bring to the table. In the event of a female vocalist filling the spot, then songs in the list would be substituted to suit. Interested?? Drop me a line and we'll take it from there!!
