Rock covers band need a new drummer after our last one lost the plot (too many beers amongst other things). We normally rehearse once a week and try to gig around once a month, well at least we did until we said
goodye to our drummer. We play for enjoyment 'cos we love our rock music (and we like it loud when our engnneer allows it). If we cover our expenses and our beer money we're happy as long as we have a great night. If you fancy trying out with some guys who are intent on having fun and don't take themselves too seriously, drop Fraser an email.

Comment:
We are currently a (early thirtysomething) three piece band booked to play at a friend's wedding in Bath in early April.
 
We have been rehearsing in Bristol, but don't really know many local "skinsmen", and need someone local to come in and help us out (you will be paid and fed on the day), we'll be playing a "standard issue wedding setlist", replete with Beatles covers and the odd Motown number, but played with a twist as we have a kind of punky/indie/grungy/gypsy feel happening at the moment....
Contact: You need to be available for at least 3 weekends between now and end of March, and have your own kit and stuff, so if you fancy it please contact myself (Pat - 077333 61436) or Dave 07833 643850 and bring a few beers!
   
Female Vocalist Wanted Date of Advert: 3/2/2008
Comment: Female Vocalist Required to collaborate with talented guitarist and keys player with a view to recording and gigging. Looking for someone in the mould of Morissette, Lavigne, Pink, etc so far as vocal tone is concerned. An ability to play some acoustic guitar an advantage (for live versions of certain songs) but not essential. We would prefer to hear a demo first.....if you are serious about your music then that should not be a problem. By the way, if you were wondering, then yes we do have a drummer and bassist whenever we need one. So if you are that good, don't miss out on us and we won't miss out on you. You know its gonna make sense. Look forward to an emailbox full of applications!!
