We are a rock covers band, playing mostly pubs in Cambridgeshire and beyond once or twice a month, with over 120 paid gigs up until the first Lockdown. Line-up has been female lead singer who adds occasional keys, backed by guitar, bass and drums, and some vocals from guitarists. We have no illusions of rock careers, recording contracts etc, just wanting to play good pub rock.
Some of the bands we covered are Kaiser Chiefs, Franz Ferdinand, White Stripes, Talking Heads, The Clash, Snow Patrol, Elvis Costello, Rolling Stones, Chilli Peppers, Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Bowie, ZZT.
We recruited a new drummer last year just before Lockdown 1, but of course restrictions have severely hampered our rehearsals ever since. Back then we also wanted to broaden our performance by adding a male singer, bringing a different voice to take lead on some songs, and back/harmonise on others. Ideally, a guy who could also help out with keyboard fills and chords (would not need to be a virtuoso, could use our Novation MiniNova if necessary). The future did not seem at all certain last year, so we held that back, but feel that now is the time to pick it up again, with regular gigs still rare, giving us a little while to get back up to speed.
We are looking for a guy with some experience, enthused by performing in public to a good standard for the fun of it, and local enough to commit to rehearsal in Bluntisham most Tuesday nights.
Reply here, and I will forward a YouTube link to videos of past gigs, giving an idea of who we are, what we have done so far. If that appeals, then we should talk!
