We are a newly formed mature classic rock project: drums, bass, guitar and vocals, looking for a keyboard player to join our team. We have a bit of a slant on the classics, we find other bands who have covered songs with a different format, then we take that idea and put our own angle on it. We do have a band name but we are not revealing it as yet. We have about 10 songs together so far: slow ride by Kenny Wayne Shepard, Radar Love, different version to the original, Hush, Gottard version, Tush, ZZ Top etc, whole lot of love by Sershan. That's our direction.
We have our own secure private studio set up in Eastwood, NG16, including PA, monitors, desk, toilets, kitchen, free parking, 24 hour access, mood lighting. We rehearse just once a week for a couple of hours to fit in with our busy life styles. We intend to gig later in the year, maybe once or twice a month. Although we are all over 50, we have lots of experience, energy, dynamics, and would like someone with the same key elements to be a part of our project. We have a laugh, we are all very grounded, no egos, no attitude, no oneupmanship. We are all equal and everything we do is to a voting system without dollies being thrown out of the pram.
We would want your input to help to build the set in a similar direction. That means, no stereophonics, no oasis, no kings of leon etc. This is a for fun, edgy classic rock band, not a money making machine, although we do intend to be paid for gigging, it's not the purpose of this band. You must have your own equipment and transport and be available to rehearse for a couple of hours a week where we discuss the next couple of songs to learn for the next rehearsal.
If you think that this is up your street, get back to us, if you think that you are Rick Wakeman and expect the world to bow down to you, don't get in touch (not that Rick does that, that's a scenario). Team players only please, there isn't a boss in this team. Age and gender doesn't matter to us, our singer is a mature female and fits perfect into this line up. If you can do backing vocals, that would be a bonus, but not essential.
