If you want to play music that sounds like it belongs in Top Gun, this might be for you.
Our current lead keyboard player has decided to step down to focus on other musical projects, so we’re looking for somebody who’s on our wavelength, who’s confident at soloing, who can commit to playing shows from the summer onwards, and most importantly, who can inject our sound with liberal helpings of cheese.
We’re in our mid-twenties, mostly work 9-to-5s during the week and have been playing together for a couple of years after meeting at university. At this point, we’ve got maybe an album’s worth of original material written and some more familiar covers rehearsed as well. Of our varied musical interests, our common ground and main source of inspiration is the glam/stadium rock/AOR of the ‘80s and the modern revival - to namedrop some favourites, we like Journey, Bon Jovi, Edguy, Brother Firetribe, Van Halen, Europe, Magnum and Danger Danger. We’re based in Southampton and that’s where we rehearse, so please make sure you’re able to get there with gear in tow (those of us with cars usually do lifts).
Other than playing keyboard to a soloing standard, here are some non-essential extras which would be useful:
-Vocal ability would be good, as we’re looking to increase our use of vocal harmony
-Songwriting contribution is welcome if you fancy it, but not a requirement
-Some of us like to dress the part and act the part on stage, which also isn’t compulsory, but join in if that floats your boat
If all of the above is up your street, or if you’ve got any questions, get in touch via joinmyband, via email (spacepoliceofficial@gmail.com) or contact me on 07968395268.
