Bassist (and possibly singer) wanted for hard rock band.
We are a hard rock cover band from Witney, Oxfordshire consisting of a 2 Guitarists and a drummer (all in early 30s).
Gavin: guitar/Vocals
Alex: Guitar/Backing Vocals
Daz: Drummer and all round basher of stuff
We cover black sabbath, kiss, iron maiden, Metallica, led zeppelin, Van Halen and other similar bands, we want to play good hard rock covers that make people want to move, we see ourselves as a fun, party band and would like to put on a good show that engages the audience and leaves them wanting more!!!
Before the pandemic struck we had a bassist and were well practiced and getting ready for our first gig. Unfortunately our bassist now has something new going on so we are on the hunt again!
We need a bassist to complete the lineup and turn us back into a 4 piece. If you can sing and play bass that is a bonus.
I am currently singing and playing guitar in the band but if there are any male rock vocalists out there who are interested drop us a line as I would prefer to concentrate on the guitar.
We are all in our early 30s and all enjoy having a laugh and don't take things too seriously, we would be looking for similar age group and someone who is up for a laugh, some good times and great gigs!!!
We may put our own spin on songs down the line and may even make up some of our own material but for now we are a covers band playing quality music. So far our setlist is as follows
Practiced:
Metallica - Enter Sandman (probably going to swap for Sad But True)
Iron Maiden - Running Free
Deep Purple - Black Night
Kiss - Detroit Rock City
UFO - Shoot Shoot
Black Sabbath - War Pigs
AC/DC - Whole Lotta Rosie
To Practice:
Van Halen - Panama
Ozzy Osbourne - Crazy train
Bon Jovi - You Give Love a Bad Name
Boston - Smokin'
Deep Purple - Burn
Led Zeppelin - Black Dog
Thin Lizzy - The Boys are Back In Town
Black Sabbath - Supernaut
zz Top - Tush
Whitesnake - Still of the Night
We aim to practice once a week in green room studios, Witney until we have around 20 songs well rehearsed then we aim to start gigging in the local area (probably aiming at 1 gig a month around the oxfordshire area). As a band we were practicing regularly for a number of months before lockdown and play well together and were on course for having enough material to start gigging. We are open to suggestions of songs to cover so don't be afraid to give us any song suggestions...
As a final point We would require you to have your own gear and transport to get to and from gigs and rehearsals.
If you are interested then please drop me a message!
