ABOUT

Vocalist needed!

Looking to reconstruct a covers band with highly competent and committed drum partner, Darren (https://www.bandmix.co.uk/batchystix/). We are committed and serious about playing stuff properly, but also having fun.

Our favourite period is probably 80s, although we're not bound to that period but we do want to do non-obvious but well known music (maybe a few classics thrown in like 'Heroes'), for example:

Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode
Chasie Long - Wet Leg
Digging in the Dirt - Peter Gabriel
Head Over Heels - Tears for Fears
It’s My Life. - Talk Talk
Kiss - Prince/Art of Noise/Tom Jones
When the Wires are down - Kraak and Smaak
Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
Heroes - David Bowie
Blue Monday - New Order
Stupid Girl - Garbage
All you ever Wanted - Rag ’n Bone Man
Ooh La La - Goldfrapp
Tiny Dancer - Elton John/Britney
The Mother We Share - Chvrches

If you're interested in yacht rock, swipe left...we share a loathing of it.

I'm primarily a guitarist but most recently played bass for 80s covers band, Shakolada
