Hi there,
We want to (re) launch a Black Sabbath tribute band in 2023 and need a drummer to join a bass player, female lead vocalist and guitarist to complete the line up.
We've done this before but in a different part of the country and are now based between Telford & Bridgnorth and in Shrewsbury so would suit someone based in the Shropshire / West Midlands area.
Idea is to recreate the sounds of Sabbath but not to look like them necessarily.
Period right from the start to the end (13 album) with most of the in between stuff including the Dio years (Heaven & Hell and Mob Rules). If you look up the last set Sabbath played in Birmingham, a lot of those songs feature in the proposed "greatest hits" set list plus about 4 Dio songs.
Adding in some keys and sound FX as necessary. We do have our own PA though would expect many places to have their own. For larger venues we also have computer generated AV show which always went down well!
Target venues are music bars, small theatres and rallies/festivals though some pubs may be necessary to start with.
Ideal candidate could include:
- Relatively mature (our ages currently start with a "5"!)
- Very familiar with the material
- Substantial live experience
- Good equipment & transport
- Lives within a similar area
- Capable of recreating the groove between bass and drums
- Likes Black Sabbath!
We'd like to identify someone to work with before Xmas and then rehearse in Q1 2023 (being rehearsal ready to save time and expense) with a view to gigs from perhaps April 2023 onwards and certainly ready for summer season.
If you think its for you please message and include some links to see what your live performances look like - not necessarily Sabbath.
Thanks for looking
Andy Tunstall
