We require an experienced drummer for our established Rock / Pop / Punk covers band on the Portsmouth and surrounding area pub circuit.
Gigs waiting - We are entering our 16th year of raping ears, have completed in excess of 400 gigs and are now taking bookings for 2024. We are flexible, supportive and loyal to the right candidate. We're not the highest paid but have regular work (not excessive) of which you will receive equal share. We also have a small but loyal following.
PLEASE read the essentials below.... if you can't answer 'yes' to all of these, please DO NOT contact us as you won't fit 100%!
Own transport & equipment
Able to practice / drink copious amounts of tea or coffee and have a laugh on alternate Tuesday evenings.
Willing to work as a team - i.e. help load / unload & set up / break down (we don't just turn up, plug in and play)
Not be shy of a microphone and be able to talk to an audience (not essential)
Be prepared to offer to play for free at certain Charity Events
Be prepared to allow your inclusion on our website and associated Social Networking sites
Have a good sense of humour with the ability to ridicule and be ridiculed and to laugh off mistakes (there’s plenty of them!)
Age not important as long as healthy & reliable (we pride ourselves that we have never cancelled a gig due to unreliability or sickness)
Looks not important – (There’s already three hunks in the band)
Due to our schedule, we are looking for someone with commitment so will not be taking on anyone associated with other bands
We don’t want any egos or wannabe rockstars! Our philosophy is simple as our website states:
"We don't endure grand delusions of stardom. We're not rockstars, nor are we a tribute band. Four regular guys with our own take on the music we cover. No records being made here, what we do, we do for fun!"
Take a thorough look at our website and see what we’re all about – If you’d like to be part of a fun band with a loving community and fit the criteria above, get in touch – Our contact details are on the website – www.kneeslider.net
