The band name is just a placeholder...otherwise, we'd have to call our fans "flea-bitten varmints", right? ;) On a more serious note...
1. Looking for solid musicians interested in committing to one of several projects listed in "Influences section". Want bandmates with an engaging & authentic passion for the music/genres the band plays. Ages 25 and up.
2. Projects would be starting from the ground up, and require attending weekly practices. Start up in the fall of 2024?
3. Ultimate goals: Having fun, growing individually & as a team, and gigging once or twice per month.
4. Gigs: Bars/Clubs, Private Parties, Charity Events, Festivals, and perhaps Wedding/Corporate functions.
5. Mature, enthusiastic, encouraging attitudes required.
6. Song Selection:
(a) Danceable, sing along, passion, energy,
(b) memorable, witty, social commentar; eclectic within genre.
(c) respect range & variety of talents and interests in the band.
(d) opportunities to feature multiple vocalists and harmonies
(e) will not be the stereotypical 'Classic Rock band'.
Feel free to contact me to discuss further.
