Hi there, we are putting together an 80s Hair Metal Tribute band featuring tracks from various bands rather than one specific band, think early Guns n Roses, Ratt, Def Leppard, Poison, WASP, Winger, Motley Crue, Warrant etc.
We want to gig on the tribute circuit so availability is very important to us as we will use an agent and we do not want to turn down any gigs if we can help it as we want to be busy and the aim is for this to be a main form of income. There will be time for other projects if you are happy for them to fit in around this project.
Ideally we feel we require the following from our drummer:
Must be reliable
Must be very available and an attitude where all will be done to make this band a priority.
Decent equipment
Professional attitude towards all involved
Ability to sing some backing would be brilliant
Ideally a love for the genre we are performing
Able to travel around the UK and Europe (group travel will be arranged when required)
Willing to learn the songs as closely to the original as possible (accents, pushes and stops - should go without saying but we have had pros plough through the whole lot without the finesse that makes the songs)
Age is not overly important, experience of a similar project would be useful but not a deal breaker, someone keen to get out gigging in a busy band putting in all they've got is more what we are looking for as that is what you will get from us, despite this post possibly sounding a bit strict we do want to have fun doing this we are just specific about certain things we feel are important so we don't get let down in the future.
The aim would be to get this project well on the road for 2020 but late 2019 could be possible with rehearsals and promo being the priority in the upcoming months.
About us: I am a female vocalist, I live and breathe this genre of music and I am very motivated to get this project out there. I can sing in the style required to pull off a match to the artists mentioned and I am 100% into this project and prepared to put the work required in, I currently run a covers band and have done all of the admin side including getting gigs and I'm ready for the next step up.
Bass player: Experienced and versatile player that has toured in a very popular tribute band on the circuit previously before disbanding, vast studio experience and also been in signed originals bands previously. Having experienced the touring lifestyle he is keen to do it all again with a new project.
Guitarists: Adverts going out today
If this project sounds like something you would be interested in please do get in contact.
To take responses seriously it would be really helpful if any links to vids could be sent whether it be just you jamming or playing with a band.
We will aim to arrange auditions early/mid september.
