Are you fed up with playing all the usual pub/club 'suspects' that you've heard and played a million times ? - if I hear Sex on Fire, Chelsea Dagger or Summer of 69 one more time I'll eat my own face off.
As to music we're looking to play - upbeat goodtime fun music, catchy tunes good melodies. Looking for singer not afraid to have a go at Glam Rock, Country/Reggae/Ska/old chart stuff/punk hits etc - in fact anything that's not Chasing Cars/Valerie/U2/Brown Eyed Girl etc
Here's a wee sample of what we're interested in doing :
No Matter what - Badfinger
Teenage Kicks - Undertones
There she goes - The La's
2-4-5-8 Motorway - Tom Robinson
Sit Down - James
Amy macdonald - I wish i knew you before
Great Dreams Of heaven - Ian McNabb
Swords of a thousand men - Tenpole Tudor
Into the valley - Skids
T-rex - any
XTC - Making Plans for Nigel
Foo Fighters - Learning to Fly
Missing Words - The Selecter
Dynamite/Tiger Feet - Mud
Clash - Bankrobber/I faught the law
Tin Soldier - Small Faces
Dreaming of you - The Coral
Bay City Rollers
Proclaimers - Letter
Love is the Law - Seahorses
Up the junction - Squeeze
Gimme Some Lovin
Green Day - Basket Case
This is how it feels - Inspiral Carpets
Turning Japanes - The Vapours
Police - any
Status Quo - any
Tears of a clown - The beat
The Jam - any
Watching the detectives - Elvis Costello
Golden Brown - Stranglers
The idea is intially get together and play some of these and other songs - see what works and what doesn't. See how it goes and move towards gigging.
Ideally keeping it within South Lanarks area using local practice rooms/studios
(Transport and gear essential)
Cheers,
