Serious, enthusiastic, committed and professionally-minded musicians sought for ‘The Magnificent Murder Show’, a new Glasgow-based band ready to put in the required level of work and dedication to make it big.
I have some songs already written, available to listen to at www.soundcloud.com/hughholtonproject - the songs ‘Ain’t No Friend Of Mine’ ‘Lady Chainsaw’ and ‘Love Story’ are the most representative of the direction I want it to be headed, so if your not really into those this band probably wont be for you.
What I have in mind is a really in-your-face, energetic live show, and larger than life image influenced by the likes of Kiss, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie and all the classic rock greats as well.
What I’m looking for:
Well rounded skill at your instrument.
Previous band experience very useful.
Good gear and knowledge of how it works a necessity.
Stage presence and band image will play a big part so comfort on stage and a lack of self-consciousness will be good, as will being open to trying out new stuff.
I am looking to be steering the general creative direction of the band and doing the majority of the songwriting, as through my experience I have found it to work better that way. I’m not a control freak or anything, but if you’re looking to be chipping in with the creative side of stuff this is probably not the band for you.
That said we will be working on stuff like image and stage presence together, so no-one’s going to be a complete slave!
So if that sounds interesting or you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch!
Cheers,
Hugh Holton
