10-piece Soul cover band for 'The Commitments'... called 'The Lack of Commitments'
This tribute is not solely aimed at regurgitating what's out there.... 'The Lack of Commitments' was born out of love of the film and the music. What we're doing that's different is playing the entire output from the band - including the film, both albums and rarities.
We need a Piano/ Keyboard Player to join the current 9 members (Our gaffer...The Don - Lead guitarist, the sickest MALE lead singer in the Shire, two too hot-to-handle FEMALE backing singers, the rock in our Rock 'n' Roll - Drummer, he's all about that bass... that bass... our bassist, 3 part brass (2 sax and trumpet)... and a partridge in a pear tree.
Rehearsals take place at Tower Studios in Stone, Staffordshire on Friday evenings. Current age range of band 20's - 40's. Friendly supportive atmosphere with youthful vibe.
We have been rehearsing since Oct 2016 and are ready to get out there and gig; we have bookings lined up for Summer '17 in Stone area including 19th August Fogworth Festival in Kibblestone, Staffordshire.
Interested in coming down Friday evening to see what The LOC is all about?
