We're an established band consisting of 2 guitars, bass & drums. Sadly, for reasons of health and commitment, our bass player will be hanging up his guitar in the next couple of months so we're now looking for a suitable replacement.
Inspired by the mod revival era we write original tracks and have recorded two albums and one EP which have been released through independent record labels based in the UK and Europe. We're always creating and are currently halfway through writing our third album.
Up until now, to fund recording, we've also performed as a cover band (although it's not our intention to continue performing cover sets in 2018). We plough every penny earned back into the band - so anyone looking for a 'gigging wage' wouldn't be the right person for us.
As a result of our efforts we've worked with world class producers, played regular support to a number of bands that are our hero's from the late 70's/early 80's era and played several shows in Germany and New York. a record label we work with in Germany is currently organising a week long tour for March/April 2018
A THUMPING BASS LINE Drives our music and forms the backbone (and often hook) of what we do.
If you're too young you won't fit the band dynamic - likewise, if you need to sit down during a gig then you're not for us! - We put 3 part vocal harmonies in most tracks so if you can sing that's a big plus. Our current bass player is a guy but a girls voice would bring an interesting dynamic to our music so we'd be interested in hearing from both male & female bass players
In terms of the commitment we're looking for: -
We're still passionate about writing, performing and recording so you'd need to share that passion
We'd like you to be 100% committed to one band
We rehearse once a week (usually a Thursday evening but could be flexible) between 7:30 & 10pm at our own rehearsal studio just outside Gloucester (no need to set up/take down each week)
Up until now we've performed around a dozen gigs a year and also like to either go into a studio for a week or do a small tour for up to a week once a year
If you're interested and would like to chat things through - give me a call on 07880 727 050
Thanks
