Lead guitarist looking for a band to create a polished 80's cover band to play paid functions, weddings, festivals and pub circuits
Looking for committed people to run this as a business and a source of good secondary income for us. Want to buy a new TV, kitchen, go on holiday? - then boom! - couple of gigs a month and we're gold with the extra pocket money, whilst playing our instruments to crowds - which is the whole point, right?!
I have the skillset and connections to market this project to a high and professional standard with branches we could use to earn extra revenue alongside the shows.
Why the 80's? I love the music of that period and its evergreen! Whether you were born then or not, you somehow know the songs which will be great for crowd engagement and we'd have a niche to be famous for. there's also no pressure to keep up with learning the 'newest pop song' through doing a traditional 'covers band', just simply being tight with the material that already exists and even putting our own spin on it where appropriate.
We would look to have a solid catalogue of popular mainstream songs from the 80's to switch up the setlist depending on the venue or event we play, or for the bookers to choose what they'd like to hear from our catalogue, ranging from the big rock to pop bands of that time.
I'm Rob, 32, own gear and transport, based in Cannock
I've been around the block with many original bands and have toured Europe, been on kerrang, mtv2 and BBC radio
I have videos on YouTube of me covering some 80's solos from beat it, dude looks like a lady to easy lover and hip to be square.
