Hello
Me (Dan) and my friend Lou are a bassist and drummer in our early thirties who’ve got a stack of experience in various bands in Glasgow, London, and Edinburgh over the years and want to have a stab at creating the central belt’s best bar band.
We have a range of influences: from Motown/Northern Soul, 90’s alt and punk, the E Street Band, modern pop like Charli XCX, hip hop, and more. Our vision is to bring that variety to the bars and clubs of Edinburgh, Glasgow, and everywhere in between.
We want to do lively, noisy covers of classics, rock arrangements of pop songs and be able to take a random request on the fly.
We have found a vocalist so now we are just looking for two guitarists (a rhythm and a lead, backing vocals a bonus), to complete the core group.
If this sounds good, please get in touch. Other details:
Commitment - We do need some degree of commitment to make this work. We both have day jobs and know life is hectic and busy. 1x 3/4hr weekly practice is the sort of routine we’ll aim for (won’t always be poss with hols etc but as a routine it should work).
Location - The band will be based in Edinburgh and we will aim to rehearse out of the PIRATE studios in Bankhead, Summerhall, or one of the centrally located rehearsal spots in town.
Age Range - as mentioned above we are both in our early thirties and flexible around that range, but we are open to speaking to most people if you are keen and interested!
Please get in touch with us on this forum and pls provide where possible any examples of your musical endeavours, experience, and song suggestions! We will send through examples of what we’ve done before.
Cheers and look forward to hearing from you!
Dan & Lou
