Desperately seeking a Sam or Susan Frontperson!
The Revenants formed in July 2018. We are a covers band. We have played several live events in 2023 at social clubs in the area, and have so far 2 bookings into 2024.
We play popular covers from the 60’s to the 00’s and have a growing repertoire of songs covering rock, soft rock and pop. Songs by Beatles, Stones, Queen, Cult, Stereophonics, Elton John, Elvis, Clapton, Credence, REM, Skynyrd, T-Rex, Quo, AC/DC, The Who, etc. etc. We have certainly developed our own sound.
Due to ever increasing work commitments, our recent singer and frontman Brad departed from us at the end of July. This was very sad for us as he has added a great sound to our band. We did take on a female singer recently but coming from a karaoke background such as she did, she found the songs that we play a challenge. So once again, we are on the lookout for that right person to front us.
Our 5-piece band has consisted of lead singer/rhythm & acoustic guitars, lead guitar/backing vocals, bass guitar/backing vocals, keyboards/backing vocals and drums. We need that 5th piece once more. Our ages range from 40’s to 70’s. We are not ageist and are a real friendly bunch. Music making should be fun right? 😊.
Age or male/female is not an issue for us. We have had both male and female vocalists in the past. What we do want and need though is commitment. Commitments to rehearse and learn and have fun.
We rehearse in Rayleigh, Essex at Mushroom studios usually on Thursdays. You will need your own transport and musical equipment, and to be able to contribute to rehearsal costs, though these are not expensive when split. We would be looking at playing live probably once or twice a month at most. So, if you are looking for regular weekends, then we are probably not the band for you. We occasionally attend local open mic sessions and open air fund-raising events.
We have our own 1200w PA and lighting/effects and PL Insurance through AMP Band.

If you like what you see and think you might fit with us, please send me a message and tell us a bit about yourself. If you can send a demo or two as well, that would be a big help. If you play rhythm/acoustic or even lead guitar, that would be a distinct advantage.
We currently have two bookings for April and September 2024 and once the right person is in place will be booking more.
