SEEKING
Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Keyboard.ABOUT
A very experienced gigging and session guitarist, but for the last few years, been also trying to get good, die-hard, dedicated, EXPERIENCED musicians to come on board with me to play original stuff (already written), but everyone just wants to play covers nowadays, so I'm trying THIS site to see if things can start happening. No joy with 'Join My Band' site ...... full of bedroom pop-stars and immature kids I'm afraid. I want a semi-pro/pro MATURE vocalist, bassist, and (preferably) a keyboard player - may consider a rhythm guitarist if push cones to shove. Kinda' busy with session giitar work in London & Hamburg presently, but knowing how long it takes to get musicians, no harm in recruiting now. PREVIOUS 'APPLICANTS' NEED NOT APPLY.. Apologies for the sound quality of the demo tracks as they appears on here ..... don't really know what's happened there (!) and the vocals I'm afraid had to be done by me at the time because our then vocalist decided to part company with the band not just prior to going into the studio to do these demos and kinda' left us up sh*t-creek without a paddle, so I had to do temporary vocals (I drew the short straw!) just to give the tracks an 'identity'. The plan then was to get back into studio and re-do them with our new singer ...... never got round to it because of gigging commitments at the time ...... but give me the band line-up and we'll get them done proper, and generally take the show as far it goes. Needless to say, commitment, ABILITY, and dedication is, within reason, paramount, as this is a serious, (hopefully money-making!) venture, as the 'product' is good and very commercially-viable.
