Top dollar paid to anyone who can bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia! And slightly less money for anyone who can find us a decent drummer; no decapitation required.
Think Slade, Zeppelin, Hendrix, The Stones, The Faces, mixed with a little f-punk, some ramshackle Velvets style indie, west-mids rock, a bit of late 60s garage-psych, old skool soul and 1973 New York; all wrapped up in really simple, catchy, but generally heavy tunes; essentially rock, but going for a catchy singalong rather than just raw power, a bit more art school, you know? Not slick, but tight and energetic fun.
All original material; no covers or tributes I'm afraid.

History;
We started in 2016 after a 20 year hiatus with our more or less original drummer, and it was real slow going because we were right rough and the drummer's shifts made it difficult. After a year, we kind of got to where we wanted to be and then he started having marriage problems and the band was the fallout.
Then we had a guy for about four months, and he was getting married but apparently it was her idea that he did musical stuff and then two weeks before his wedding, he vanished. Should have guessed by the way he literally hid from another band when we first met him...
Then a guy who seemed to think we were too focused on recording... We had no drummer! How can we focus on anything?!?! As far as we know, he's still on here, holding out for the doom metal band of his dreams.
Then a guy who, just wasn't band ready, bless him.
Then this guy who we reckon was in a constant state of roid-rage and who didn't listen, to the music or anything you said and who wore a wig and it was so horrible we were scared of leaving the house...
Then a mate from work, who unfortunately had his own regular band and couldn't commit.
Then a guy with RSI.
Then a guy who slotted in really nice but decided to hold out for a 60s cover band slow death.
Then a guy who was really into our stuff but wasn't available for a month because of starting a new job, and then, after we managed to sort out mutual shifts, almost a month after that, completely ghosted us like a ****ing *****.
So yes, we'd like a drummer...
