???? Guitarist Wanted — Punk/Goth/Post?Punk Band (Fife/Kirkcaldy)
Living in the Kingdom of Fife and stuck playing the same old indie or metal riffs?
Pfffftt! Boooooring.
Come play for us, you absolute legend. Seriously… what are you doing with your Thursday nights.
???? Who We Are
Hi, I’m Steve — bassist, dad, Fife?dweller, and professional day?job haver. I’m putting together a new band rooted in punk, goth, and post?punk. Think:
The Damned • The Stranglers • The Cure • Echo & the Bunnymen • Siouxsie • Joy Division • Killing Joke • Nick Cave • The Cramps
…basically, imagine all that thrown in a blender and poured into a pint glass. That’s us.
We’ve got:
- Singer
- Bassist (me)
- Drummer
- A growing setlist of absolute bangers
All we’re missing is you.
???? The Plan
We’re kicking off with a set of killer covers so we can get gig?ready fast, then we’ll start weaving in originals once we find our groove. We’re aiming to actually get out there and play — not just rehearse forever.
Current setlist includes:
- Halloween – Siouxsie & the Banshees
- New Dawn Fades – Joy Division
- Bring on the Dancing Horses – Echo & the Bunnymen
- A Forest – The Cure
- Love Like Blood – Killing Joke
- New Rose – The Damned
- I Wanna Be Your Dog – The Stooges
- Stagger Lee – Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds
???? When & Where
- Rehearsals: Thursday nights
- Location: Kirkcaldy (usually EFR, occasionally S9fifty in Glenrothes)
???? Who We’re Looking For
- Ideally 30+ (not a hard rule — just where we’re at in life)
- Reliable, committed, and drama?free
- No drugs or chaos — we’ve got kids, jobs, and backs that click when we stand up too fast
- Someone who loves dark, moody, energetic music and wants to help build something from the ground up
- Bonus points if you’re into writing originals down the line
Full disclosure:
Most of us are dads. Life throws curveballs. We’re committed, but realistic. We show up, we work hard, we have a laugh, and we make loud noises that scare the neighbours.
???? Influences (not exhaustive, not even close)
The Damned • Siouxsie • Nick Cave • The Cure • The Adverts • Sisters of Mercy • Iggy Pop • Joy Division • The Stranglers • X?Ray Spex • Killing Joke • Blondie • Bauhaus • Bowie • Fields of the Nephilim • The Birthday Party • The Cramps • Idles • The Mission • The Twilight Sad • The Clash • Generation X • Heartworms • Wolf Alice • The Stooges • Echo & the Bunnymen
???? Final Pitch
Get your sunglasses on and, as The Cramps say, “We’ll look sharp”…
Or maybe we’ll just look weird and bump into things.
Hard to know until you try.
If this sounds like your vibe, drop me a message and let’s make something loud, dark, and brilliant.
???? And please tag anyone you know who might be interested — your mate, your cousin, that mysterious goth guitarist who only comes out at night. That lassie that turns in a vampire bat when you put on some Bauhaus… all are welcome.
