Hi All
Long post warning,
Firstly I work shift work, so I'm looking for people who are happy to gig once maybe twice a month. This isn't a project for gigging every weekend, its just fun, but Id like us to have a high standard.I know my shifts well in advance so I wont spring a cancellation or anything.
I'm Ross, I'm 33 and I'm looking to form a 3 piece Alt Rock/ Punk/ Grunge Coverband so I'm after a Drummer and Bass player, who are happy playing with IEM's and the odd click track. I know, its specific!
I have just moved to Leeds and previously had a project which is what I'm trying to do here. If you check out our Instagram @byproxyband you can see.

Looking to use click tracks to play string sections, piano sections, sound fx etc. This means playing with IEMS so you'd have to be comfortable or open to the idea of that. It was revolutionary for me.
If you're still interested, this was a selection of the songs
Bulls On Parade - RATM
Psycho - Muse
Sockets - Soft Play
Breed - Nirvana
War - Idles
Glitter & Trauma - Biffy Clyro
Bullet With Bu’fly - Smashing Pumpkins
Knights of Cydonia - Muse
Nancy Boy - Placebo
Aneuryism - Nirvana
Angels & Insects - Papa Roach
Stay 4 The Kids - Blink 182
Gay Pigs (Gay bar war pigs mashup) - Electric Six/ Black Sabbath
(INTERLUDE)
You think I Aint Worth A Dollar - QOTSA
SMBU/Breathe mashup - Prodigy
Propane Nightmares - Pendulum
Mountains - Biffy Clyro
Du Hast - Rammstein
KITN - RATM
Obviously we can chop and change that when the band is formed but figured its a good place to start, we can pick some songs and have a jam. There's a real market for this stuff and with Leeds having such a great music scene I think it will really work.
I realise this is quite specific but for the right people this is a really fun project, playing to a good standard and having fun. Ideally I'm looking for people who want to really get involved, pick songs, do some social media, socialise, nerd out over gear, all that cool stuff.
