Covered in Punk (www.facebook.com/coveredinpunk) is a professional band that people of all ages and music tastes love. We have a good following and gigs booked up until the end of the year; the biggest of which being Darwen Live supporting The Lancashire Hotpots and Paul Young.
Our ethos is to play up to a high standard but to enjoy it. We are serious as far as wanting to look & sound good goes, but our primary aim is to enjoy playing music and for it to feel like a paid hobby rather than a laborious job.
We put on a fun show and play well known non-punk songs in a brisk, upbeat, punky style. We change the songs around and make them our own, whilst keeping them fun and recognisable. Our gigs always go down well and people love to get up and be involved.
Some of the tunes that we cover are :
* Tom Jones - Delilah
* David Bowie - Starman
* Adele - Someone Like You
* Tiffany - Think We're Alone Now
* Depeche Mode - Enjoy the Silence
* Shirley Bassey - Big Spender
We are looking for a replacement drummer due to the loss of our previous long-standing drummer having to call it a day.
We need someone that has:
* Their own kit
* Their own transport
* The ability to pick up songs quickly
* Time to jam one evening a week in Rochdale
* A number of weekend days per month to gig (not every day of every weekend, but we do need good availability to work with)
If this sounds good to you, please check us out on Facebook (www.facebook.com/coveredinpunk) and also give our EP "Punky Dory" a listen:
