Hello singers of London!
I'd like to create a band to play original songs, play live, do some recording, and see if we can get some fans in the process. I have a full time job and family so it's mainly for fun but I'd be committed to the right band, and don't mind putting work in to make it the best it can be.
We are currently myself, (mainly guitar) with a set of songs, a drummer and hopefully a returning bassist TBC
Looking for down to earth and reliable singers, who love music. That's more important than technique but some energy, presence and affinity with the songs/style is also obviously important. Goes without saying that you should be committed to the idea of being in a band. If you play keys or guitar too and are happy to beef up the sound that's a good option but focus on singing is the main thing.
The music : Rock / Pop Rock. Maybe with some Indie /progressive / hard rock/ new wave / jazz / blues influences. Fair to say the songs are more retro than modern but i'm not looking to copy any particular sound or band. For singing - any rock, alternative, new wave/post punk, indie styles could work well. Happy to answer any genre related questions if helpful.
Would love to hear from you if that sounds good! I would like to start getting the lineup finalised early January if possible. We could meet for some informal auditions or a chat, depending on the level of interest.
Rehearsals probably around south east london'ish area. Maybe Brixton or Peckham. Probably evenings.
The sound of the songs/band may change depending on individual contributions. But I can share some rough demos to help give an idea.
Please reply here with a brief intro and what you are looking for from a band. Ideally some video or audio too. I'll share my email and can share links too.
