I'm Cam; a 31-year-old multi-instrumentalist from Essex, and I'm looking for a female drummer to complete the lineup of an authentic live Velvet Underground tribute show.
You DO NOT need to be a professional level drummer to play this part; pro's would find it difficult to restrain themselves and play as minimally as Moe did - her beats were incredibly simple, and she rarely added drum fills. As long as you have a strong sense of time, dynamics, and most importantly are passionate about VU music, that's all the matters!
Here is a video of me performing all the parts to 'Sister Ray' myself below - so imagine this, but live on stage, and with you behind the drums! *Plus a full-blown Andy Warhol-style multimedia light show with dancers...*

...And a medley of other covers I've done:

Since creating several tutorial videos and other VU-related content on YouTube, I have received support from around the globe, and generated a lot of interest in a potential show.
Whether this would end up being a single one-off special event; a short series of events, or even something done on a repeated basis would entirely depend on the availability of the members involved, and the popularity of the event itself.
With so many fans of the band out there - almost none of which will have been around to see them live - there is undoubtedly a demand, all the project needs is good promotion, and faithful reproduction of the music.
Get in touch, and let's party like it's 1967 😎
