Hi, we are a rock covers band based in Herongate (just off the A127) and we are really keen to find that illusive but all important 5th member in the form of an experienced keyboard player to complete our line-up.
Our choice of material to an extent reflects our age range which is 44-62. We do the odd heavier rock song but are definitely not into heavy metal, preferring as we do the more melodic side of the rock genre. We have a keen ambition to write/compose some of our own material but it's a case of one step at a time.
So bands like Steely Dan, Pink Floyd and similar are our preferred types of bands and we do throw in the odd blues number to add a touch of variety.
So our line-up is guitar, lead vocal bass and drums and we are all experienced musicians with a good skill level and we strive to play music to a good standard whilst having fun in doing so. There are no egos, we all get on very well which just makes the whole experience very enjoyable.
We are also very lucky in that we have our own private and exclusive professionally sound-proofed, fully alarmed and air conditioned rehearsal and recording facility (in Herongate) which has it's own private and secure off road parking, meaning the band have the option, if they wish, to leave their gear in situ, which needless to say saves a lot of hassle and also time.
We can also rehearse as long and as often as we wish at no cost to the band members (other than occasionally helping to stock the fridge with a few beers
and/or soft drinks)!.
So yes we are a bit spoilt in that sense. We also have our own PA and all the very best gear.
Quality of sound is very important to us.
So whilst we are essentially a rock band we do play the occasional Blues number and also the occasional more etherial type number creating a sound-scape that is very cool and pleasing to the listener.
So we play a mixture of songs that deliver an array of different dynamics, textures, tempos and styles of music some heavier and some light. Essentially these have been covers but as mentioned above there are strong ambitions within the band to write some of our own material.
So if this sounds of interest we would love to hear from you as you will for sure have a number of questions. It may be easiest just to give me a call for a chat which I would welcome or respond to this message which ever you prefer.
