Okay this is how it is:
There’s me Steve, I’m 55 but yeah... not buying slacks from Marks and Spencer just yet. I write songs, sing and play a mix of rhythm and lead guitar.
Kathy is on bass and vocals she’s about 50 I think lol, but again, I know it’s a cliche but she’s young in outlook and style.
Original music no covers.
The genre is hard to pin down, brit pop maybe. Can be bluesy but I also use Indian scales to give it ..... well if you have ever heard Ian Brown Solarised.... Alanis? I don’t know.... hard to put in a box. This really is different. Not even thinking about genre, we can go americana Eagles-ish like.... Jefferson Airplane-ish, whatever comes?
We need a drummer who isn’t too rigid and can indeed adapt, we may be coming from a driven section to a very laid back fill. There will probably be some impro, but that’s easy, just hold a pattern and roll out when we need to get back on track. Drum solos? Too right, at the right time, right lead in and it’s a wow!
It’s going to be that kind of a band where drum solos will work! Not dance music as such, but the idea is indeed to move people, music and dance ever the twins.
We need someone with imagination not a book learned drum machine, and we also don’t need someone who is going to blast our eardrums out.
And this is indeed a ‘band’, all in will be expected to comment and steer the finished sound.
Put down a kick ass rhythm and I can write a song over it, all I need is a spark.
Kathy has an idea to get some material together, record a demo and send it to fringe festivals, the sound would be great for that.
And of course you will have to be committed. Someone who is flexible and yet knows their own mind, if you see what I mean.
I do have some good stuff to start off with, but I really want to push the envelope, so where we will it end up I have no idea...
So there it is. If this is you then don’t message me here, send an E to steveberg@hotmail.co.uk
