Arcade Fire tribute - musicians wanted

UsedToWait

I posted about this before - nearly 3 years ago as it happens.
Got some responses, but not enough to get it off the ground.

Have had other projects since, but with the new album coming out (and sounding like it will be amazing) I thought I'd try again.

Male singer here, looking for musicians for an Arcade Fire tribute - will obviously require talented players and hopefully multi-instrumentalists among them.

Key to getting started would be guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, violin with hopefully an accordion player, percussionist and female and male backing vocals among that lot.

I know it might be a job getting a band of this size off the ground, but I think it could work out as a great live experience.

Anyone interested?

Sorry, should have said: I'm based in the North East, but happy to travel as far South as Dublin for this project.

Bump - any more interest?

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner but I am down here in the Southwest of Ireland so logistics of trying to meet up would be practically impossible for me anyhow. It's a shame 'cos I would love to do it but c'est la vie ! Best of luck with it anyway and if you do get up and running I will definitely come and see ye !
Cheers a while ,
Pat..

Anyone else interested? - especially drummers, keyboards, violin etc

Male & Female musicians welcome

Hi Markies.. Cheers for getting in touch, but as this will be primarily based in Dublin, it mightn't suit?

Markies

Unfortunately no. Good things guys

Just to update this..

So far, have firm interest from Guitar(s), Bass, Drums and Keys players, with some male and female backing vocalists amongst them..

Looks like we'll have a solid enough foundation to make a start in January, but would be great to hear from a violin player and a multi-instrumentalist maybe playing brass/percussion/whatever if you're out there

Any other musicians who are interested, please get in touch if you love Arcade Fire and reckon you're up to the job - need a good lot of heads to make a noise like this

Just giving this thread a New Year's bump..

We're just about Ready to Start rehearsals now, but I'd still like to hear from more musicians, especially multi-instrumentalists..

Also, because of the size of the band and the nature of many of the songs on the new album, it would be great to have someone who could work the mixing desk and use a laptop for samples and general vibes..

Here's a recent concert with them doing the new stuff to show how they're doing it live

This sounds fun. Unfortunately I'm a bassist, so If you have any trouble with bass in future, give me a shout! Good luck!
