We're looking to add a second guitarist to our established 5 piece line up consisting of vocals, guitar, keys, bass and drums. This will enable us to get some of those classic Eighties rock songs back into the set that we've been unable to play since losing the twin guitars.
We are actively gigging at the moment as a five piece, so anyone interested is welcome to come down and see the band play live. The new guitarist will be able to claim some of the solos and share the axe duties with our existing six stringer.
If you want to enjoy playing in a fantastic band with a great show and awesome crowd responses, if you want to be part of a great group of fellas who are all positive, experienced and proficient, if you want to be part of a musical and visual experience that takes in pubs, clubs, festivals and private events across Devon & Cornwall and if you've got the chops then please do give me a shout!
Backing vocals are advantageous but by no means essential, what is essential is your own gear, the ability to make rehearsals (usually Sunday evenings in Plymouth) and gigs (generally no more than 3/4 a month) and the ability to rock out with a band that has a great camaraderie and puts on a helluva show.
Ages range from thirties to fifties, ideally you'll sit somewhere within that and have a genuine love for Eighties music. If all this sounds of interest then please do get in touch. We are always looking to add new songs and additional sets so we would encourage a new member to contribute song ideas from the off, bearing in mind that the focus is the audience experience so we try to play songs that the average punter will know in a pub.
It's important to understand that we are exclusively an eighties rock band, that's the era we play and the sound we go for. If you think you've got the stage presence, guitar sounds and ability to be part of a kick-ass show then get in touch. If you have any questions then just drop us a line, here's a link for consideration:
