We are putting together a new Darkness Tribute band. We have our Justin, Dan and Rufus in place, so we're just looking for our Frankie.
This will be a faithful and authentic tribute to The Darkness, with a strong focus on musical accuracy, as well as performance. Both Frankie and Dan are great players capable of complexity, but also solid simplicity when needed. We're not going to add or take away anything from the original songs. They've carefully chosen how the songs are played. We see it as our job to faithfully replicate that, not to put our own stamp on them.
We're intending on focusing on the tribute circuit, festivals, agency bookings and our own ticketed shows. Beyond a few early warm up gigs, we will not be playing pubs (unless one is prepared to fork out tribute circuit money). This will be a semi-pro band declaring our income, so not really suitable for a hobbyist. Ideally also not looking for someone with multiple side projects. We want to be able to focus on this band's diary, without having to worry too much about multiple other band commitments.
Singer/Lead guitarist is based in Derby, Rhythm Guitarist in Grantham and Drummer in Stamford, so we're looking for a Bassist roughly within that geographical area.
Age range ideally 25-50. Extra points if you already own a Gibson Thunderbird, or are willing to invest in one once we're up and running.
If you're interested, please drop me a message.
