Had some good response from the first ad. Those that responded were in their 40s and 50s. I'll keep running the ad until a band is formed. This could be a very popular band if done right.
This band is aimed at those of us who were around at the time, it's our version of the 80s. (Admittedly I was a little too young to fully appreciate it then). Hopefully others can also discover there's far more to the 80s than is currently promoted.
The following are needed;
Vocalist - all the usual requirements, effects required for some songs.
Guitar - ability to create many sounds and styles. Ability to play keys as well could be useful.
Bass - same requirements as the guitar.
Drums - some electronic pads will be required to recreate drum sounds as per the recordings. Trying to get away from that pub band drum sound.
I play keyboards. All songs will have distinctive keyboard parts.
Example songs;
Feels Like Heaven (and maybe Just Like Heaven)
Love Like Blood (definitely the heaviest song we would play)
True Faith
In Between Days
The Killing Moon
There is a Light That Never Goes Out
I originally started 80s Replay Synth Pop Band in 2021 as an experiment into seeing if 80s songs could be created accurately live, it certainly achieved that. The set list was a bit random to start with. The rest of the band decided to go for the big 80s hits, I preferred the type of songs I listed. They're doing well and all was amicable. I was also an original member of More Madness, and played my part in getting the band gig ready. I know how to start bands from nothing and create a great distinctive cover band.
Too much to put in one ad, message for further details.
