Im a 48 year old singer based in Herefordshire.
My aim is to put together the right blend of musicians to reform my old original band that had some local success in the late 80's early 90's. We came close to being signed but it didn't quite happen aaarrrggghhh.
There is an album worth of material that I want to rework and then rerecord as all I have to show from the time is some pretty rough sounding water damaged cassettes (yep cassettes!!). In 2016 I started working with some session musicians in Russia so I have the beginnings of some updated demos without vocals yet.
We were into early U2 and Simple Minds at the time as well as bands like The Cult, The Mission and the Cure so its quite a range of style I believe.
Im not looking to gig this straight away at all so it would be open to people in other bands. I want to keep the options open to do some support slots or festivals later once the album is recorded.
I think this would suit musicians in my age range as no doubt you may have grown up with similar influences and you are more likely to like the original material but I am open to all.
So simply put the plan is.....get a bunch of musicians together who actually like the music and want to be part of the second journey, get together and play the material as it is and then rework it together, record it and then look at live playing options.
If you would like to hear more about this or indeed hear the material please get in touch with some background about yourself. Any links to your playing would be great.
Who knows...….it might just be right at the right time.
Im looking for guitars, bass, drums and keys...…...big ask but you don't know until you try!!!
