Greetings! We are 80s Replay and we are seeking a keyboard player/pianist with the gear to tackle the big synth pop hits of the Synthesiser golden age! Sadly, one of our founding members and current keys player is stepping down in September. He wants to focus exclusively on songs from the UK that are dear to him. (He will also be seeking a full band that plays the more niche songs of the 80s, so feel free to message and I can put you in touch with him).
As for us, we have broadened our scope and are wanting to tackle the massive hits from the UK, America and Europe that are still very much alive today in modern media and movies. (We have recently added the Human League's Don't You Want Me to our set as a case in point.)
We feel we are in a very unique position to be the only full local band playing the big hits of the 80s. We have long felt this is a huge gap in the Norfolk scene! We are dying to hear from you if you play keyboard and feel this is something you could join us for 😁
We rehearse once a week in Lowestoft and are comprised of a some well-seasoned musicians. Our guitarist alternates between guitar and keys (and is capable of note for note Van Halen shreddery), our bass player also alternates from bass to synth (and is also a gifted guitarist in his own right), our drummer is Grade 8 qualified and uses a full electronic kit with double bass pedal to tackle the beats and corresponding percussion parts simultaneously. We have 2 incredible vocalists; our male frontman and a female vocalist who are each capable of powerful lead vocals and soaring harmonies (not to mention putting on an amazing show.)
Check out our Rick Ashley cover on the link below for an idea.
