Decade is an Exeter based band that is dedicated to all things 80s. Consisting of drums (including a drum pad), guitar, keys, bass, lead and two backing vocals (by the guitarist and keyboard player), we play all sorts of 80s stuff from cheesy pop to full on rock, so we're as likely to play Duran Duran as Guns n Roses. We perform around 20-25 gigs a year mostly in Exeter, Exmouth, Teignmouth and Torquay, a mixture of pub gigs, parties and weddings. We'd like to increase the ratio of parties and weddings, and are always looking to improve our sound and look, so we've decided it's time to start looking for someone to run our sound and lights. We've done it ourselves so far: our guitarist has done a great job with the sound, but we'd like to concentrate on playing knowing we have a dedicated sound and lighting engineer to look after those aspects.
We have a Soundcraft Ui24R digital mixer, PA speakers and use a mix of in-ear monitors and headrush wedges along with some DMX controllable lights. We're happy to use this equipment, but equally happy if you want to use your own. Own transport is required, especially if you're bringing the kit with you.
We wouldn't expect you to come to every rehearsal once you've settled in, but we would view you as a 6th member, so you'd be paid equally and we'd expect you to commit to gigs in the same way as the rest of the band. You'd be responsible for setting up and breaking down the PA and lights along with ensuring we sound and look great. If you're interested please get in touch. You can find out more on our website that also has links to Lemonrock and the usual social media sites.
