Green Haze have rapidly risen to become the most in-demand Green Day tribute bands on the circuit, with over 40 live shows booked each year.
We play most of the UK's top music venues such as The Fleece in Bristol, Cheese & Grain in Frome and Live Rooms in Chester to name but a few - as well as a growing number of festivals. We are also in talks with promoters in mainland Europe. Our success and reach only continues to grow year on year.
We have a large following (over 3,000 likes on Facebook now and growing & an active Instagram following) with fans travelling all over the UK to come and see us play. We are looking to continue this over the coming years.
An integral part of the 'Green Day' live show is that of the lead guitarist - Jason White - who provides most of the lead solos to Green Day songs as well as strengthening the guitar sound by playing rhythm guitar alongside Billie Joe Armstrong.
WHAT WE NEED FROM YOU:
- Talented lead guitarist who can accurately & consistently nail the Green Day solos
- Has professional backline gear - ideally a marshall full-valve head and 4x12 cab (Marshall not essential, but needs to be a half stack at least and able to create a Green Day guitar sound - no combo amps)
- In ear monitors desirable but not essential (as rest of band use them so makes sound checks easier)
- Gibson style guitars desirable (Jason White of Green Day uses Gibson style guitars so is part of the 'look')
- Professional attitude for the stage - need to have quick song turnaround, enough guitars for 2 different tunings, spares for string breakage etc
- Ability to commit to currently booked gigs for 2019 (full list provided upon successful audition). We try and gig only every other weekend where possible due to family life and other work commitments etc.
- Must have own transport - you will share van journey to and from gigs with frontman to save on fuel costs, but you need to be able to get to and from Newport in South Wales where van leaves from and returns to.
- Must be punctual and able to plan ahead accordingly to make agreed times etc
- Must be friendly (no ego!) and able to get on with the rest of the band as well as fulfill the role required on stage.
- Willing to commit to the band long-term
- MUST be able to make an audition (if offered) which will take place on the afternoon of Saturday December 8th 2018 in Cardiff.
- Ability to have fun! We are a professional tribute but we do like to have fun and come away from gig weekends smiling
Shows are paid. Full details provided upon audition.
So - if you are a Green Day fan (like the rest of the band) and want to be part the most exciting & dynamic tribute on the circuit - we want to hear from you!
