We are a Hertfordshire based band looking for a talented & committed drummer to join our David Bowie covers / tribute band. Our current drummer is having to stand down due to his heavy workload & new addition to the family.We are looking for somebody who can demonstrate, that they have good ability and time keeping, as well as being able to perform the songs to a decent level. We are all experienced musicians with many years of gigging experience through playing in different bands, but we are now doing something different instead of playing the tired old 60’s, 70’s & 80’s standards that everybody else is still out there performing. Our current set up is Lead vocals, lead guitar, electro / acoustic guitar, bass, drums & keyboards.We are an easy-going bunch of guys with no egos and are doing this to enjoy our music again.We cover songs primarily from the early Bowie period of the 70s & 80s and will be covering some later material in time. Our rehearsals are at weekends, twice monthly at studios in Welwyn Garden City Hertfordshire. Currently, we have 20 or so songs in the bag & are working towards playing some gigs in the very near future along with one we already have lined up in March. Due to the pending gig, we are looking for somebody to join us quickly, with the prospect of more gigs to follow. We will be looking to play some festivals in the summer of this year also.
Realistically we would like a fellow Bowie fan to join us & although this requirement isn’t necessarily cast in stone, we do need to point out though, that we won’t be covering material by any other artists.
We do not have any age barrier, but it’s absolutely essential for anybody applying to be able to engage with us, have their own quality gear and transport, as well as being able to commit to our rehearsing schedule.
We are holding our auditions in Welwyn Garden City on Sunday 3rd Feb 2019.
If you are interested please get in touch via email with details about yourself and send any video clips or music, via Join My Band or mail to bowietribute1972 at outlook dot com.
Many thanks for taking the time to read.
