now, whos up for a laugh, doing summat different?
I know most of you are hard rockin,hard living, hard of hearing, rip it up, roll it out kinda guys. How?..'cos Ive been here a while under my other persona!..But.... I've seen the future..and it aint garlic bread!
I'm looking for someone to join me on my journey to boldly go where no man has gone before ( well..they have, yeh, but it sounds good right? )
I am : Bass player/backing vocals, with all the equipment needed for this project,,pa, lights etc
You are : Guitar player/lead singist, mostly rhythm but able to play lead licks when required, with a voice that is adaptable to all styles/genres.
The Project: To form a duo playing jump up and down, dance like yer dad, party choons (think Mavericks, CCR, Monkees, to name but a few).
The Plan : To play venues that are looking to put on live music without specalizing in 1 genre and that like the idea of a party night. Or, even venues that do specialize but fancy a change 1 night. To maybe develop the idea to include a live band Kareoke option.
Summary : This venture will include the use of backing tracks, (OH NOOOOOOO!!,,SHOCK,,HORROR,,mutter,mutter..keep music live..mutter mutter). The idea is stil in the formative stage although fairly advanced. I am in the Crewe area and have gig contacts locally but happy to expand into different areas. I am already a member of a band so, initially, this is a side project. I am looking to develop a set list of around 100 choons initially (not as difficult as it sounds!) as one idea is to put a list out for the audience to put in requests..hence the name Duke Bocks (get it?..yeh I know,I know!). To develop the kareoke idea I would be looking to expand the list to around 200 songs. I did this for 4 years previously and we were gigging for around £400 a night between 4 of us, so you do the maths between 2 of us!!.
Phew...Ok..thats the idea..now...anybody up for it????
