Unique project, taking crowd pleasers from such bands as Foo Fighters, Blink 182, Green Day, Reef, Linkin Park, as the backbone of the set; then taking seemingly inappropriate tracks, eg 9 to 5, Kiss, Purple Rain, Rocket Man, Rule The World, Love Machine and totally spinning them, giving them an aggressive, Foo Fighters feel. Finally, original material also added in.
Long Term Goal; having built a solid following to mid industry level, to play well paying, well known venues and support touring bands.
Short Term Goal; build a solid reputation and following; pub gigs are a necessary evil to achieve this, along with festivals and charity gigs. We can only expect £50-70 each, bit this is just to get us on the scene. We are playing the longer game. So if you are looking for short term, money making gigs, this is NOT for you.
Rehearsal plan: the key to get gigging fast is members learning all material at home, then coming to rehearsals and playing together, not still learning the tracks! This also reduces rehearsal times, allows a demo to me made very soon, and thus gigs.
We are seeking a lead vocal guitarist with a strong voice that suits this style of music - a kind of ‘Dave Grohl’. I am the drummer ( I play professionally) and we have an excellent bassist and guitarist. Bv's would be a bonus. Vocalist/guitarist needs to be our Dave Grohl, with a powerful voice, who can genuinely sing.
Location: you need to be within 60 mins of Luton. That is essential.
I have the funds, contacts, marketing skills etc to take this band to a good level, both with a following and well paid gigs.
Time frame; set list to be learnt by 2nd week Apr. Rehearsal 3rd week Apr, demo 2nd week May, then four more rehearsals June then gigging by July.
Band name; Quarry.
Website, logos, merchandise, newsletter etc all now being designed.
