We're looking for a dynamic Keyboardist who can add that extra lift to our newly reformed wedding/function band. If you can sing backing and or play guitar too that would be an added extra bonus
The band is called "Mixology" and as the name suggests our U.S.P. is that we mix a lot of songs up playing mash-ups of well known songs and artists which adds that little bit extra into the set. Mashups such as :-
Superstition/7 Nations Army/Sweet Dreams
Ain't no sunshine/Harder to Breathe/Skyfall
Disco Inferno/Dancing on the Ceiling
Runaway Baby/ Bang Bang
70s disco mashups including Celebration, le freak, We are Family, Car Wash ...and similar
We were keeping the setlist quite fresh and up to date with covers from the likes of Dua Lipa, Bruno Mars, Pharrell Williams, John Newman, Walk the Moon, Adele, Amy Winehouse, as well as a few surprises in our mash-ups. The entire set list is pulled together to ensure any dancefloor is filled from start to finish.
Any new members will also have the opportunity to add their input into the setlist and songs we perform
We were not looking at the band as a full time project as we all have other jobs and commitments. We would be looking at performing a couple of times a month, and I have my own rehearsal space equipped with private recording studio to use at our leisure.
I play a Roland TD50 electronic kit which gives the band a huge range of sounds, samples and sequences, with capabilities to trigger not just drum sounds but multi instruments, samples, vocals, and even lighting effects give the band a unique edge second to none.
You would have the opportunity to have an input on song choices, structures and arrangements and will have the opportunity to record and perform on our showreel we were due to record.
We have a full PA which sounds amazing, a fantastic lighting and laser show, and we also have some great contacts within the wedding planning industry who are keen to use their position to help promote the band.
Please note we will expect to do weekly rehearsals untill we are up and running, reducing to fortnightly/as and when required, once gigging. (when new material is required for the setlist etc). If this is something you can commit to,and are interested in please feel free to get in touch
