Guitarist wanted, able to do backing vocals would be a bonus..
Newly forming covers band to play functions, weddings etc.. I'm the drummer who is also putting this together and doing the organising. Already have a female singer and a bassist on board. Looking to make a bit of money from this as a self contained act (own PA, build up extensive repertoire, looking to get on these online agencies that so many people use to book bands for weddings, functions etc these days). There seems to be so many average (and a lot of downright sh*tty) bands out there who are making fairly decent money for these kinda gigs. We wanna do something decent, make a bit of extra cash on a weekend and enjoy it as well..
Genre will be r&b and funky stuff that is well known as f*ck and gets people dancing. Few random e.g's: Blackstreet - No Diggity, Michael Jackson - Don't stop till you get enough, Beyoncé - Bootilicious, Indeep - last a dj saved my life, Usher - Yeah, Justin Timberlake - can't stop the feeling, James Brown - Sex Machine, Christina Aguilera - Dirty, BeeGee's - you should be dancing, Ciara - 1,2 step, Prince - Kiss... You get the idea.. Seems to be a bit more of a gap in the market for live acts playing this sort of stuff rather than the hundreds of rock or indie covers bands out there, plus I prefer to play stuff with a groove (my last originals band was hip hop/ funk).
Obviously some of this stuff is electronic in its original form so open to a bit of interpretation, it's also sometimes very repetitive musically but the philosophy we're going by is to keep it simple as poss and just play it tight as f*ck.
I'm trying to keep this to a minimal line up so its more money per person and easier to organise, a 4 piece band ideally, hence we need a versatile guitarist who can ideally do a bit of decent singing, is reliable and will play tight as a f*ck, able to make clever use of FX would be a bonus as well due to all the electronic type covers. - Maybe that's you, gimme a shout if you're intersted..
