Velvet UnderSound; an authentic Velvet Underground tribute group based across London/Essex, are looking for a female drummer to complete their lineup, and play the part of Maureen 'Moe' Tucker.
Moe was a self-taught percussionist with an intuitive sense of time & dynamics, who developed a unique style of playing from a standing position, that distinguished her from other rock drummers of the '60s.
We are working on reenacting the influential 'Exploding Plastic Inevitable' multi-media shows the group did in collaboration with Andy Warhol between the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots, for a modern audience, and we need a relentless drummer to drive the intense performance of songs like 'Venus In Furs', 'Heroin', 'I Heard Her Call My Name' and 'Sister Ray', while the incredible light show rages all around us!
What's most important is less ability, and more that you are passionate about the music of The Velvet Underground, keen to adopt this role, and faithfully recreate the spirit of Moe's playing - training/guidance can be provided for an enthusiastic beginner-level player.
The band are committed to getting this project to the stage, and need someone who is equally committed and motivated.
The music is exhilarating to play, and the project is a lot of fun and has significant potential - as soon as the full lineup is established, we will immediately begin enquiring to venues & promoters, as well as the Warhol museum for a potential endorsement/collaboration.
We currently rehearse at Arcus Sounds in Canning Town and split the cost between us - for a group of 4, it's £17 each per 4-hour session, and we also have a vintage kit available for use - having your own is not essential.
If you feel you are able to commit the time to join, and help us see this vision into fruition, we'd love to hear from you!
