Tribute cover band need a drummer - Please read !
Been rehearsing with these guy's for a couple of months now but I am unable to commit as I have plans to move abroad this year.
They are looking for a permanent drummer to gig as in a trib band playing UFO/SCHENKER tunes.
I have done a few rehearsals with them and have to say they are getting the songs spot on, they are a good bunch of blokes (no ego's yay!!) and have the right attitude towards doing justice to the covers.
They do need a competent experienced drummer as the songs can be a little involving and are excellent rock tunes to play, shuffly rock, driving heavy rock, odd time signatures. I would say volume and speed not necessary, musicality and a good ear is..
They have 2 full sets of covers songs currently being worked on.
Band is as per UFO line up Vocals, Lead and Rhythm Guitarist, Keyboards rhythm guitarist, bass, and drums.
Looking to play quality gigs over quantity...so may be an option as a side project for someone. (?)
Currently rehearsing at Stockport Greenhouse, (yes, yes up stairs but they have a lift!).
I can honestly say this would be a great opportunity for someone to play some great songs, enjoy the drumming, work with top blokes and I believe get some great gigs.
If you want an idea of the sort of stuff being covered:
Michael Schenker:
Armed and Ready
On and On
Lost Horizons
UFO:
Doctor Doctor (be rude not to include this!!)
Rock bottom (live - Strangers in the night album)
Only you can Rock me
Shoot shoot
Lights out
If you are or know anyone interested let me know I'll get in touch with the guy's. You could come down and have a listen in/quick blast at one of the rehearsals (??)
Thanks for you time...
