Drummer needed to complete line up of Vocals, Guitar and Bass (+ BVs) for newly established Covers band focused on Punk.
Age range of the band is early 30s, but this is irrelevant as long as you're keen and learn the tunes! Being able to chip in with Backing Vocals is a plus, as is experience working with live sound as I don't want these roles to fall on one member if we can help it.
We're all very experienced in playing covers and originals, with 100s of gigs played between us including pubs, functions, weddings and festivals.
Existing members have a range of contacts at a host of live music venues in the area - so getting gigs shouldn't be an issue as it'll be easy to market. Most likely aiming to gig twice a month. Quick run of rehearsals to get us ready, adding 6-8 tunes each time, and then we'll scale this right back and only practise when we need to / want to learn new songs. Other members have projects already on the go, so this will most likely be everyone's 'second' band, helps to keep things relaxed and fun!
Loose plan is split the tunes between UK and US bands, finding a good blend and setlist order to compliment both:
UK examples:
Sex Pistols
The Clash
Buzzcocks
Cock Sparrer
Damned
SLF etc.
US examples:
Misfits
Ramones
Dead Kennedys
Rancid
Social Distortion
and just to appease the Pop Punkers; thinking a medley of Sum 41 + Blink + Offspring + Green Day
Not set in stone naturally, and the new member will have equal say in song/artist choice.
Get in touch if this sounds like your kind of thing
Cheers!
