Established solo artist expanding to create full band.
Skyfoil has been going for 4 years as an acoustic project. I have wanted to expand this to a full band for some time, and now is the time to do it. There is an album and tour in the works, an EP already out, and several festival dates booked for the summer.
I have a bass player already on board, and I am looking for a Singer and Drummer to complete the band line-up.
The Carefree Days EP is already available as a CD, and also on Spotify/Deezer/Apple Music/iTune, and here on soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/search?q=skyfoil. You can also check out the facebook page at facebook.com/skyfoilband
Singer - I am open to trying both Male or Female vocals,, as I have had both fill in for me in the past. It is all original material, so you will have free reign to write lyrics/melodies. The 4 songs on the EP are already released, so they need to be kept as they are. The 10 tracks written for the album have no lyrics or song titles, so you can add your stamp to these. It's fun up-tempo feel good type of music, so I just ask that there is no political or social agenda to the lyrics. Keep it fun kinda thing
Drummer - This is a little trickier, as I am also a drummer by trade, so I have written all the drum parts for the album already. I also play drums on the EP, but will play guitar live. The drums form part of the Skyfoil sound I have created, so I'm looking for someone who is happy to play what is already on the EP, and what will be on the album and future tracks. It suits someone who is happy to learn what's there and get gigging. Possibly someone who is already in a band and wants to play live more, and/or who doesn't mind not adding to the creative process. In an ideal world, it would also be nice if the drummer either already played, or wouldn't mind learning, the Cajon (Sit on box drum). This is due to the fact that I am getting enquires/bookings for both the stripped down version of the band (with a Cajon), and also a full band setup with the full drum kit. It would be nice to play both types of gigs. Some summer festivals coming up are asking to book Skyfoil twice during the same weekend. To play in both stripped down and full band formats.
OK - so if any of this floats your boat, or sounds of interest....please get in touch
