Band: Original, established band with small but resilient international fanbase and solid reputation earned over many years.
Rowdy, dark, aggressive rock & roll with main elements of psychobilly, punk, rockabilly, horrorpunk, garage punk, and blues. Think punk with a swing to it.
8 physical album discog. on small independents (+ downloadable releases on iTunes, Spotify and all major platforms).
International live track record (UK, Europe, N. America, Russia) with ever ongoing interest.
Pro-attitude played for fun: Amateur/Semi-pro. Works around the day jobs, weekend warriors type of stuff with the occasional small tour.
New material, recording and other projects always ongoing.
Gig bookings into 2019 to confirm.
Music:
All originals. Style references without necesarily sounding like Motorhead, Rev. Horton Heat, The Cramps, The Meteors, The Misfits, Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Monsters...
Would like to invite you onboard if you are:
A proficient, dynamic drummer and reasonably quick learner with your own high standards.
Looking for 'your band'.
Serious about enjoying the music you play with a team mentality.
Conscientious and appreciative enough to not become a liability by being sidetracked into 'other musical projects'.
Reasonably outgoing and 'in-the-gang', up for hanging out for the odd celebration/party and up for a damn good laugh.
Willing to undertake all realistic gig offers great or small without demanding special personal conditions or criteria.
Mission:
Learn a 20 song live setlist reasonably quickly from recordings to be fine-tuned at band rehearsals.
Be available to travel for live performances including some overnight stopovers (usually weekends).
Be a dependable, professional, honest and reliable teamplayer.
Enjoy what you do and enjoy being part of a very credible band.
Collaborate on new material. Songwriting/ideas invited - but no thieving them for secret side projects, it gets you sacked
Accomodate non-local weekend rehearsals if necessary.
Travel abroad occassionally.
Take the good with the bad.
This is an opportunity to join a distinct and respected 'alternative' cult band with a worldwide fanbase and diverse appeal.
Whilst nothing is guaranteed it's reasonable to expect to play some decent gigs, some crappy but fun anyway gigs, travel a little and be respected within a small scene.
The pay may be practically non-existent after expenses but the rewards are great.
NObody else does it like we do, shallow rip off idea stealing outfits come and go, but we have always had the genuine strengths, originality and energy to outlast and outdistance them - and always will.
All considered, but seriously no timewasters, bullshitters or chancers please.
Message for more details, thanks.
