Hi there - I'm hoping to play a few songs at an event in Nottingham on Saturday 31st May. The event is called Chord of Chaos - please look it up on Facebook for more details. I have a drummer already, but still need a bassist to complete the three-piece, under the name Near Deaf Experience.
The event will be at the Old Cold Store, which is part of the Vat and Fiddle. We'd be playing early evening.
The songs we would like to play are as follows (in no particular order):
* I Wanna Be Sedated - Ramones
* Laundromat - Rory Gallagher
* Electric Worry - Clutch
* Hoochie Coochie Man - similar style to Eric Clapton
* Teenage Kicks - Undertones (played in B)
* Story of a Quarry Man / Who Killed John Henry - Joe Bonamassa - Medley in B
I would be playing guitar and doing vocals, although I'd be very happy to share vocal duties or do harmonies if you want to sing as well.
Of course, we would be happy to add your suggestions for songs too, and would be open to removing songs if they were deal breakers for you, but need to bear in mind that we only have about six weeks to prepare, and we would be looking at a maximum set time of 45 minutes.
Initially we're just looking at the event in May, but if we enjoyed playing together I'd be open to forming a permanent band and doing more gigs in future, and maybe writing songs too. The gig in May is in a friendly community environment, so no pressure and no need to be perfect.
You would need to be free for the event on 31st May, and also on the weekend of 10th/11th May for rehearsals with the drummer at local practice rooms.
Please message me if you're interested.
Cheers,
Steve.
