We're the drummer and bassist from Five-O, a Police tribute band, based in Blackpool.
Over the past two years, we've been gigging at festivals and pubs, to some really good reactions. We've had various guitarists in that time but have been unable to find one who truly fits the bill for what we want. They've all started off ultra-enthusiastic, but when we've tried to push for bigger, better and more with our gigs, there's been a noticeable lack of commitment.
What we want is to be the very best Police tribute band in the UK- we genuinely believe we're very close, barring that magical guitarist.
We were just starting to build up to being able to regularly put on small theatre shows before our latest set-back- we're talking a full-on recreation of the Synchronicity concerts, including female backing vocalists (already on board and willing)- and wanted to be able to tour with our show. Naturally, that means real dedication and commitment, not simply someone playing just because it's a gig for them, which is the vibe we've had from our previous axe-men.
So, if you're a super-fan of The Police and Andy Summers, have the right (authentic) gear and the right attitude and are willing to really commit to what is a massive passion project for us, please get in touch.
We have a website (www.five-o.biz), where you can find a couple of samples of our earlier work or check out our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/fiveopolicetribute). Anyone interested can contact us here or at either of those.
We're truly just waiting for the right person to get going again and take things to where we honestly think we could take them. The interest is there from audiences and venues- we just need the final piece of the jigsaw. Could that be you?
EDIT: NB: We're looking to avoid pub gigs- this is strictly for music/tribute specific venues.
