DRUMMER WANTED for established covers band playing classic NEW WAVE, PUNK, TWO TONE SKA and the odd SYNTH-POP song (1977-1983).
We play around 40-50 gigs a year and have a strong following. We play a lot of pubs, but are slowly moving into some music venues.
We have gigs booked next month and the rest of the year. We do play far and wide, but the core of our gigs are in Croydon, Sutton, Kingston, Leatherhead, Redhill, Windsor, Staines, Wimbledon, Dorking etc. We also play Canterbury, Brighton, Southampton, Reading etc..
We're looking for a drummer who's into this era of music, happy to rehearse each week so we always have some fresh songs when we return to venues, and to be a strong and tight band. We'd also like the drummer to get involved off stage, help get and promote gigs and help build the band. Drummer with a sample pad would be a bonus, to add a special sound or effect to help enhance songs (for example we use a gong to start and end Hong Kong Garden). All members of the band get to suggest songs to play, and we normally vote on them and decide which to play, or try to play, going forward.
Here's a list of bands we play so far...
Adam & the Ants / Adverts / Bad Manners / Beat / Blancmange / Blondie / Buzzcocks / Clash / Cult / Cure / Damned / Depeche Mode / Echo & The Bunnymen / Eddie & Hot Rods / Elvis Costello / Gang of Four / Gary Numan / Generation X / Haircut 100 / Jam / Joe Jackson / Jilted John / Madness / Members / PIL / Piranhas / Plastic Bertrand / Police / Pretenders / Psychedelic Furs / Ramones / Rubinoos / Ruts / Selector / Sex Pistols / Sham 69 / Siouxsie & the Banshees / Smiths / Soft Cell / Specials / Stiff Little Fingers / Stranglers / Talking Heads / Teardrop Explodes / Tenpole Tudor / Toots & The Maytals / U2 / Undertones / X-Ray Specs / XTC
If this sounds like you, we are auditioning in Morden, Surrey (SM4) in the coming weeks, so please get in touch with info about yourself, what you've done up till now etc..
