Are you a nerd who like board games and also happens to be a kick-ass musician?
Do you like pop infused alt rock from the 2000's like Weezer?
So do we!
The good news is that I'm starting a tabletop games, RPG, and general nerd culture themed band and I'm looking for people to get on board.
I've got about 10-15 songs written, and I'm looking to get a band together to achieve the long term plan of doing some niche gigs and recording and releasing this stuff properly.
The dream is to go and play in cities like Birmingham and Essen when conventions are happening and get big crowds in...
The songs are all infused with loads of references to board game culture, but are all secretly about universal topics like love, depression, and the kinds of people you have to deal with at the table as well as in "real life", so the idea is that the music is accessible to everyone even if you aren't a board game person (it's not just rubbish music with me shouting about Catan over the top, I promise)
I'm a guitarist by trade, but have played all the instruments (except drums) and sung on the demos, so I'm looking for other musicians to come on board and turn this into a real band. I've got a drummer lined up, and I'm happy to take whatever role/instrument is needed to get the best out of the songs.
Probably looking for guitarists, singers, bassists, and keyboard players. Multi-instrumentalists would be a bonus.
I've got a small home studio in Wallasey, but happy to rehearse in Liverpool if that's closer to people.
We are just about 40, and have a couple of decades of gigs and recording experience under our belts. This is my first venture into real solo songwriting and my first ever attempt at singing, but otherwise we are very experienced musicians who want to put on awesome live shows with a clear USP.
Think this could be for you? Get in touch and SEND US A DEMO!
No timewasters please - If you don't have a demo, you are a TIMEWASTER! Sorry...
