Band looking for a drummer!
We are a band currently looking for a new drummer!
Currently we have two originals pretty much finished and tons of material to work with. We're devoted to finding our own sound and creating something new. One of the main goals is to not be a rehash of a rehash, because that gets you nowhere...
We have tons of influences pulling inspiration from rock, soul, funk, punk, psychobilly, new wave, blues, etc. As a band we don't want to be confined to one genre since that's no fun.
Some of our favourite bands consist of QotSA, The Doors, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, The Cramps, Anthrax, Kyuss, Monster Magnet, Melvins, Ween, Nine Inch Nails, Them Crooked Vultures, Black Flag, Charles Bradley, Aretha Franklin, Jamiroquai, The Black Keys, Misfits, Masters of Reality, Corrosion of Conformity, Clutch, Beck, Led Zeppelin, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Primus, Faith No More, Black Sabbath, Alain Johannes, Spencer Davis Group, and the list is absolutely endless...
As for the band name it is up in the air at the moment. Currently we're called "Full Monties" but we're definitely changing the name. The association with male strippers is funny and great don't get me wrong just the association with the movie itself make it sound unoriginal. If I'm honest, I had no idea the movie existed - I thought it was just a term for a full Scottish/English breakfast. Just trying to think of something else that isn't complete mince.
We have a pretty good gigging experience and opened for Alain Johannes (guitarist of Chris Cornell, Them Crooked Vultures, QotSA, etc.). We have plenty of contacts and would have absolutely no problem getting gigs which is the plan when things get going.
Currently we are focusing on writing more originals and making sure they are completely original with our own sound and style. We also play a few covers at the moment to fill out the set list such as "Burn the Witch - QotSA" and "Break On Through - The Doors". We also hope to get in the studio soon to record our first original "Sharpen Your Knives". I will send on request and if you're interested but I've also added a link to a snippet of the song at the bottom.
A few things we are looking for:
- Fully committed and devoted
- Passionate about drumming and music
- Willing to do gigs and travel for them
- Creative and open mind for writing and forming our sound
- Rehearsals at least once but preferably twice a week
- And most importantly able to have a laugh since that's what we're about. We all have to get on since that's just how these things work. Skill is a bonus and doesn't matter that much, just as long as we all click since that's way more valuable.
The three of us are 18 so preferably we would look for someone in our age bracket (roughly the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots give or take).
All three of us live in Glasgow so preferably would rehearse in Glasgow too.
So if you're interested in bashing some drums with us drop me an email on: "the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots" since I'm pretty sure you have to pay to read messages on this site.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Jarrod
