Flash@TMB Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 With all this new backline and monitors in place it would be a shame not to get more use out of them. So we'd like to recruit ~9 musicians into our house band. The deal is simple and straightforward - the house band get cost price drink all Sunday night and free admission to all our gigs... this is in addition to getting to play through some very nice kit. The house band plays on Sunday nights from 7pm-midnight as part of the Dead Anyway thing. This also includes DJing and karaoke meaning the band get plenty of breaks in between playing.Ideally we're looking for a couple of drummers, a couple of bass players, perhaps 3 guitarists, and 2 vocalists to give us plenty of cover. Any multitalented people would be a real bonus.We have some house guitars and a bass but the house band should probably consider bringing their own instruments and leave ours to the randoms. Obviously we'll be using the full house kit, and the bar supplies the sticks (and even the odd guitar/bass string).Come down and see either MTA or myself on Sunday evening if you're interested. It's all good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Afro Droid Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 I can sing (though some may disagree!), play a bit of guitar and bass; and I'm generally free on a Sunday if anyone's keen to a coupl'a covers. Sure I could twist Oggy's arm if alcohol incentives are mentioned.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairyScaryMark Posted July 13, 2005 Report Share Posted July 13, 2005 I play guitars, quite well and I also play keyboards, not so well but i can manage reasonable parts, with some practice. I have my own gear but would be willing to use the in-house amps depending on the situation. I can do backing vocals but lead vocals are beyond me.What sort of stuff would we be expected to play?I wont be able to make it on Sunday night. I will be in England then.

Flash@TMB Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 17, 2005 Remember this is tonight. Let's see if we can get a decent jam going again. And there's karaoke too. I particularily look forward to Dave's weekly rendition of Eboneezer Goode in the style of Bill Murry. He had us in knots last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted July 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2005 Last Sunday went really well. We could probably still use more musicians though to provide a bit of depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flash@TMB Posted August 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Last night was an exceptionally good jam! Pretty much constant jamming from 8pm till close. The Engel sounds amazing - will be even better once it's footswitch arrives, and you really notice the new ceiling, much more so than we expected, at last we've tamed the drums!14 jammers in total! Even Chiz went up.Sundays are fast becoming my favourite night again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ewan U.N.C.L.E. Posted August 8, 2005 Report Share Posted August 8, 2005 Even Chiz went up.For fuck sake. The only day in the past fortnight I haven't been in the moorings and Chiz was jamming. Once again, fuck sake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
