// DRUMMER WANTED FOR FOUR PIECE ORIGINALS & COVERS ROCK BAND //
Looking for an experienced drummer to join a North East originals & covers band who have great aspirations for seeing the act go far in the local scene and hopefully even further.
We have connections and opportunities for regular paid pub/club gigs as well as private functions. We want you to have a healthy amount of passion and time for the band keeping most weekends free throughout the year for gigs and one night a week free for rehearsing.
There is a repertoire of original material to learn for those free opportunities we would get once and a while to do a show based on the original music. We have a debut album coming in the summer which we would like you to be a part of (music videos/promo/etc) in the future.
In terms of the covers, we are planning on playing a range of styles and genres with classics from 50s-now. We like to make things our own and genre-bend, alternating the setlist regularly.
We are all outgoing, friendly and welcoming individuals who love playing music together but would also want a level of professionalism from other members. We are looking for a high level of commitment and reliability, expecting you to be organised with everything in preparation for gigs/rehearsals.
We would prefer if:
-You had your own drumkit
-Were able to drive and owned some sort of transportation
-Were between the ages of 20-30
-Located within a reasonable distance of Newcastle
(Although we are happy to consider you if you do not fit all the criteria)
We would also like it if you would be comfortable giving a little bit of singing a go. For the drummers role, this would be very minimal and more gang related stuff however we would also consider you if this was not an option.
We have all of our own equipment (PA system, lighting etc) and upon joining you will get to use a set of our in-ear monitors.
Before lockdown, we had won multiple battle of the bands competitions, sold out the head of steam and had been on the news.
If interested in going further then we would like you to answer some further questions and send a video of you playing something. Upon receiving this, we will let you know if you have made it to the face to face auditions which will take place sometime early February.
Please give me a message if this is something you would like to be a part of.
Thanks
