Hello!
We’re a gang of friends, all in our 30s, and big fans of the good old Rhythm & Blues and 60s Garage music. We’ve put a band together to try and combine both genres, to goof around and have fun writing and playing music. We also like a pint and a dance, so we obviously call our music Rhythm & Booze. We’ve been together for over a year, writing original songs and only have recently started to play shows. We’ve done two so far, but there’s a few more in the pipeline.
Now we’re looking to add a little horn section. We’ve got someone coming to jam with us playing trumpet, so we need a saxophonist (preferably a woman) to join us. Someone who can play the blues and helps us round up our chaotic sound and make it a bit silkier and smooth.
We practice once a week in the Northern Quarter, so you should be able to do that. We’d rather be able to hang out and be silly together and have a good time than you being the best saxophonist ever but miss the social aspect of it. We’re doing this for a laugh, but also, we take our fun seriously and want to do good music.
Check the links below see what you make of some of our influences. If you’re into Jazz, Rhythm & Blues, Soul and are partial to Punk and 60s Beat / Garage, then, hey, give us a shout! We want to hear from you!
