hey, anyone interested in a casual experiement? i'm thinking old school rocknroll, blues, bluegrass country, birth of pop kinda stuff. chuck berry,bill haley the comets,presley,fats domino, jerry lee lewis, bo diddley,buddy holly, early johnny cash and roy orbison and revival acts like the. stray cats.

i play bass and am lookin for guitars,skins, vocals, keys and spoons.

anybody interested in playing in this style for fun? johnny b. goode,jailhouse rock and what not. stuff you can really dance to

looking for one guitarist who likes to show off with those fast clean riffs...i've no problem being part of a 'backing band'

easier said than done ferdi

even being part of a "big band" - who would string the whole thing together? You'd need a lot of hard work to just get the right people on board but I will say its a nice idea and there's defo plenty of work for that kind of band if you were to do it as a long-term thing.

go johnny go go go....

go johnny go go go....

good point, it dost really have to be done on the big band scale though (although that'd be so cool if people were up for it) i wouldnt put myself forward asre the 'max weinberg' of the gruop, as i said, i'd be more likely to let someone else take the lead role/control....and yes i agree, there is certainly plenty of work for a band like this to be had.

so...any takers?

Old school yeah!. I'd really be interested, I listen to that stuff all the time. I'd like to do vocals and rock & roll stage style/moves too.

It is tempting, but I'm already involved in a busy working band so I doubt I'd have the time to commit.

I'll stay tuned though, hope it gets going!
