We're The 602 - Manchester based originals band playing groove-based funk/rock/soul/bluesy tunes ... for the curious you can hear us at the602.uk or on Spotify, etc.
We did some decent stuff prior to the sky falling and now we're all pretty much still here it's time to get moving again. Our former guitarist left us for an exhilarating career in town planning so we need someone to bring their own style, charm and charisma to the table and see where the music takes us. Nothing is set in stone, we're open minded in terms of direction, etc. the main thing is we find the chemistry with the chosen one and enjoy the ride.
We have a laugh but take making good music seriously. Practice will be weekly at either Noise Boy or Pirate in Salford. It's usually one of the highlights of our week if you've got commitment issues and/or enjoy letting people down at the last minute then we're not the band for you.
Having kids/work/wives/life to juggle means gigging once/twice a month, but decent gigs at decent venues where people are actually there to listen to decent music. We played Band on the Wall a little while ago and went down a storm, that's the kind of thing we're aiming for.
As for us we're all in our 30's but if you're the right fit then we're not fussed what you look like, how old you are or where you come from. Modesty gets you nowhere so as long as you're half decent then send me a few demos and lets get a move on.
**Update**
We've had a fair bit of interest so the bass player has done a quick backing track: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1E2jOMAZu36NJuPCDAPz5MKUh-SJ1cYZJ/view?usp=drivesdk
If you're seriously interested can you record yourself playing something over the track and send it over? Recording quality isn't an issue so no worries if it's a phone recording or something. We just want to hear what you've got.
Take it easy,
Matt
