80s function band seeking lead guitarist to join their team of two lead singers, bassist, keyboardist and drummer.
It is essential that our guitarist share our passion for 80s music as we will only be playing songs that were either made or played during this fantastic decade. Although we will be playing the occasional 80s rock song, we will mainly be playing the traditional heavy synthesizer based songs that are associated with the 80s (The kind you would find on an 80s complication CD).
Here is a small selection of the songs we will be playing, but everyone will have equal opportunity to suggest songs to add:
The Wall Part 2, Love Shack, Raining Men, Word Up, Land Down under, 500 Miles, Jump, The Power Of Love, Ghostbusters, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, White Wedding, Every Breath you Take, Money for Nothing & Turning Japanese.
It’s also worth noting that we have a brand new PA, wireless controlled lighting rigs, mixing desk and all the usual kit.
This band has been specifically created to be offered for weddings & parties (and the occasional pub gig) through the new company called "Brightside Entertainment" - www.brightsideentertainment.co.uk
This company is owned by two of the band members who already run a successful rock covers band (which is also promoted by Brightside) and their plan is to eventually promote other local bands so they are looking to create a second function band to be their joint flagship promotion.
Business aside all five current members just simply love playing music and would play for free all day long if given the chance, however this is a nice opportunity for everyone to have fun but also get back some of the hard earned cash that every gigging musician invests over the years in their kit and rehearsals.
We also plan to dress for the era and adopt our own 80s personers (Our Keyboardist goes by "Yan Yan the 80s man" already in a guest spot with another band). Please bear in mind that we are not completely mad, this is all about not taking ourselves too seriously in the same manner as the real 80s bands didn't.
We plan to rehearse 3 or 4 times a month (if possible) at Right Track Studios in Ashford, and it will normally work out around £5-£7 each time.
If you are interested, give us a shout 😊
