Hi there.
We are trying to put together a party/function type band fronted by 2 female vocalists.
Songs will vary but think mainly ones that will get folk up and dancing and keep the party going.
Doing this mainly for fun but want to get to gig and earn some pocket money.
I'll be on Rhythm guitar so we're looking for a competent Lead Guitarist and Bassist. Ability to do backing vocals (especially harmonies) would give you an advantage and also have decent gear and own transport.
Male or female welcome.
Our ages range from 33 to 56 so preferably around that age group but all will be considered.
Must be able to commit to the one band, to learning songs and then rehearsing once a week (week night to be decided, probably in Coventry, Leicester or Hinckley) and be free for gigs as and where they come up.
Sorry but not keen on anyone who thinks they can run in more than one band (no side projects) or whose jobs may interfere with rehearsing or weekends (no shift workers, been there and it doesnt work).
So if you are interested in doing something fun like this with a varied set list (and are prepared to look the part !!) then get in touch, still early stages yet . Selected a few songs for auditions for you to learn if you’re interested……
1. Happy – Pharrell Williams – Key F
2. Get Lucky – Daft Punk - Key Bm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yVsVgmgmf_g
Rhythm and lead parts tutorial- simple repeats
3. Long Train Running – Doobie Bros – Key G http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAtVyA_4Ijs
use this live version ending. Freestyle lead on harmonica and ending sections
Lead guitar to do the acoustic backing guitar part under the rhythm guitar
4. Titanium – Davis Guetta/Sai - Key Eb https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IYiz7E-3bHg
This rock version is in D (original is in Eb) but we are doing this version in D.
5. Valerie – Amy Winehouse version – Key Eb
6. Love Me Like You Do – Ellie Goulding – Key Ab https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_gerslfal0
