Augmentation required: bass, drums, other.

theguiltyfolk

The Guilty Folk, a Dublin-city-centre-based acoustic duo, are seeking augmentation, in the form of drums, bass (double would be lovely) and any other instrument which you play that you think might fit.

We’re Aidan and Sarah, and we’re closing in on our mid-thirties, so, if you’re young enough to be the result of us having a (hypothetical!) drunken night of wanton teenage procreation, then this might not be for you.

Lyrically, the songs lie somewhere in-between The Beautiful South and Tenacious D, if you can imagine that, and stylewise could be called folk, country or even indie depending on how they’re played. For want of better words, we tend to call it “Folk Cabaret” (i.e. playing in this band is unlikely to get you laid).

We’ve had a gig roughly every fortnight for the last six months, and we like to disturb Sarah’s neighbours with practice once a week. Obviously, if drums and bass become involved we’ll have to move practice to a more conducive location.

Our current ambition is to cover our costs for the year 2010 (currently we are two sets of strings, five plectrums and one large pack of strepsils over budget). If you’re interested in playing along, or just bored with being so very, very rich, you should contact Aidan here theguiltyfolk@hotmail.com with relevant information (how often you get your hair cut, how many sexual partners you’ve had, food allergies, your mother’s maiden name, your bank account details, a picture of you in your underwear etc.)

You’ll find some more information and some live recordings here www.facebook.com/theguiltyfolk and some videos here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-jo2LSd5Uj0 and here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g0W1qISYXJI

Great post and I love the sound of what you're doing but I'm too far away to get involved. Free bump anyways, keep it up
