Covers band anyone?

Bitsie

29 yo female drummer looking to get together a decent rock/pop/indie/soul covers band. Based in Dublin, rehearse in city centre. I have gigged for 3 years with previous covers band and I am now looking to get together a new band to do gigs around Dublin. Need Singer, Lead Guitarist and Bassist. No cheesey songs will be played!! Good crow pleaser mix of tunes from old to new.

Bitsie

actually looking for a rhythm guitarist instead of a bassist as i have one! So altogether looking for vocals, lead guitarist and rhthym guitarist and if you can do backing vocals thats even better!

son.of.jimi

Cool, I'd be up for rhythm and backing vocals. do you have anywhere to rehearse?

I also have a friend who does vocals, both of us would be very strong singers, we both love singing it's our passion. Speak to you soon, G.

Bitsie

Hey Bitsie, are you still looking for lead guitarist? I'm 32, plenty of experience from rock covers bands to solo classical playing. Like the look of that set list.

Hi Bitsie,

I'm a lead guitarist. I can also sing (backing/harmony etc). I have experience in cover bands/gigs. I like the songs you picked. I'm well used to Applerock and I can also make it on thursday for your auditions.

I'd be interested in meeting up with you and do a bit of singing for you. It's been a while since I've been in a band but I would be band ready. Are you interested in 2 female singers? My friend is already in a band at the mo. We were actually looking to start up a similar band, we've been talking about it for a short while. Can you give me a shout if you are interested in having a listen to my voice. Anything that I don't know oon the setlist can be easily learned...... Take care, hopefully hear from you soon, G.

TheBoo!

When will you be having an audition again? Or have you had them already? G.

Bitsie

i would be only looking for one singer. Can you send me those demos?
