Fox Force 5 are looking for a talented, versatile and reliable drummer with a positive attitude, sense of humour and a desire to play (and sing a bv or two) with a bunch of like-minded (if a little quirky) people, who like every gig to be fun no matter when, where or who for…
We are a covers band and most of what we do has a rocky or powerful edge to it, but we also love to mix it up with some subtle and unusual tracks along the way too. We are known for our eclectic mix of tracks and we aim to do everything exceptionally well. Whilst this all may sound a little serious, it should be noted we all primarily do this for fun and enjoyment!
Most of band have been together for 7 years with only a change of bass player in that time. We work well together and don’t tend to rehearse unless it’s to run new material or refresh for seasonal gigs. Obviously, a new drummer will be given the rehearsal time they need to get up to speed. Although rehearsal day is usually a Tuesday we can arrange to suit.
We gig on average a couple of times a month, this allows the band members to have a life and indulge their other musical outlets. Three of the members are in other bands or do dep work. We manage our calendars on a first come basis for gigs and would expect any new member to do likewise.
We aim to have a dress ‘style’ for the band because we want to look that part as well as sound the part, and it is not unusual for us to go a bit costume crazy for themed gigs here and there. See the Halloween photos on our facebook page… you’ll get the idea!
Until now we have mostly gigged in and around Kent, but with band members in Dartford/SE London and even Rugby, we would continue to seek gigs in and around the South East but are happy to consider most requests in suitable circumstances.
We have recorded 2 albums; Badger the Assassin was released in 2013 and our second album is at mixing stage so should be released in the next month or so. You can find Badger the Assassin on all online media outlets, such as Spotify.
If you think this may suit you, please let us know. If you have any questions, give us a shout.
We will be arranging auditions soon.
Audition tracks include:
Don't Stop Believing
Rebel Yell
Alright
Comfortably numb
I Bet you Look Good on the Dancefloor
Bodhisattva
