About Us:
Experienced guitarist and drummer seeking a Manchester-based singer and a bass player to form a new indie / rock band. We want to play a few gigs now and again, as well as record some seriously cool all-original material and get it all out on the Web.
About Our Music:
Our stuff might (to some) be reminiscent of Stones / Floyd / Zeppelin / Beatles and Dylan, but it all has a thoroughly 2018 feel. Kind of bluesy-meets-rock-meets-indie perhaps. So we now want a really great singer to 'front' the songs and a great bass player to drive them along. And if you write stuff yourself, great... though it's not essential.
What We're Trying To Do:
We want to form an outstandingly good band and get our stuff 'out there' to the (adoring) worldwide public on YouTube / iTunes et al - and possibly even form our own record label. Once we're as tight as a duck's proverbial we'll be looking to play the occasional gig, and even festivals if we can get them. We've been around a while so we're certainly not starry-eyed about this, but hey, getting a 'hit record' would be nice too... who knows?
What Standards Are We Aiming At?
We want to play and perform really well (is there any point otherwise?). So professional standards will apply to everything we do on-stage and in the studio. But we're also after having fun.
Age / Gender?
We're in our mid-50's so would probably seek similar age group, but are completely open minded about age really. Males or females welcome.
What We Offer:
We're two relatively well-adjusted blokes but still quite capable of 'lateral behaviour'. We have our own 'iMac / Apollo 8p / Universal Audio' studio set-up plus plenty of back-line equipment (even some PA gear stashed somewhere I think). Most importantly, we have some outstandingly good songs. What we don't have is YOUR amazing talent to add to the mix... yet.
Cool... er... do I have to be completely sane?
All relatively-sane Manchester-based singers and bass player welcome to apply.
