Vocalist/guitarist needed for punk rock covers band covering late 70`s classics by the Sex Pistols, The Clash, Ramones, Stranglers, The Skids, Ten Pole Tudor, etc.
Experienced bassist (5 and drummer (31) looking to form a punk rock covers band, preferably going out as a trio, but separate vocalist and guitar player would also be considered.
We are both currently members of the same rock covers band gigging twice a month, and have been the rhythm section together for a number of years in 3 different bands, but in addition to our current band we want to do something a little different and something that isn’t common around the scene. There`s plenty (and great) rock covers bands around but not many doing solely this sort of stuff.
So we are looking at maybe 1 or 2 gigs a month with this new band and playing the crowd pleasers to get people dancing such as Pretty Vacant, Into The Valley, Swords Of A Thousand Men, Teenage Kicks, etc.
We have our own decent kit and transport and would expect you to have the same, including a PA system. We can add backing vocals (especially our drummer).
A set list for discussion has already been drawn up consisting of 30 songs (as some are quite short in length) but it will be made up of well known songs from the era.
Plan would be learn 10 songs, set up a rehearsal, see if we gel and take it from there, rehearsing possibly once a week thereafter.
Realistically it will probably take 3-4 months to learn all the songs but then that ties in with us approaching pubs, rallies, etc who will be opening their new dairies for gig dates next year (most will be full for this year).
If this sounds of interest please private message me and we`ll set something up, etc.
