Drummer needed
They are STILL looking for a permanent drummer to rehearse and gig with 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.
The songs are quite involving in some respect as previous drummers for UFO and Schenker were by no means average. Ted McKenna, Simon Phillips, Robbie France, Cozy Powell... to name a few.
I personally think the songs are excellent rock tunes to play, shuffly rock, driving heavy rock, odd time signatures.
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*********

Thanks for you time...
