Here goes….
I’m putting together a new covers band to get up and running, play some gigs and have some fun. I’m the drummer so all you stickmen can stop reading now and find your own band. But if you’re a guitarist, basser, keyboard player or elusive singer then read on….
This is: A good standard, quality musicianship with some interesting arrangements to learn. A good opportunity to play a few gigs doing tunes that you love, done really well.
This isn’t: A place for egos or worth financially more than a little beer money. It also isn’t a wedding/function band that will be doing gigs every week.
But it should be epic fun!
Style: Left-field but well-known songs done really well. I like finding alternative live versions to work with (Queen’s fast version of We Will Rock You?), interesting covers (Cheap Trick’s crack at Magical Mystery Tour?) and fun mash-ups (Wake me up when September ends / Black Hole Sun anyone?)
About me: I’m the drummer - late 30’s and been playing for +20 years including a bunch of gigging and recording experience. I have a pro-level kit including electronics and some well-shiny cymbals.
About You: Pretty simple really - you need to be able to play to a good standard and fun to be in a band with. Oh, and reliable would be good too! )
Where: I’m based near Alcester and as this is starting from scratch would suit musicians from as far afield as Warwick/Leamington Spa, Alcester, Evesham, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Redditch, Worcester, Pershore, Droitwich etc.
Plan to rehearse weekly and get up and running ASAP. Drop me a line with some audio or video of you playing and I’ll reply with the same.
Thanks for reading!
