Gotta band that want to sound like the Beatles/Hollies/Kinks/Stones (vocals) with a HARD MODERN edge (the rest). We're all into old rock n' roll and garage, BLUES and country, rnb & punk from the 50's - 70's, plus newer stuff. 3 chords plus extra chords and messed up stuff to make it 2010's. We pride ourselves in getting an audience up on their feet to DANCE!
Drums and bass are 20 yr, Guitarist 30.
Our Drummer and Bass are into Tame Impala, Blues Explosion, Black Keys, Jack White, etc
Guitarist/lead likes the old stuff (Chuck Berry, Bo Diddley, Little Richard, Pretty Things, The Sonics, The Who, Kinks, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Gene Vincent, Billy Childish), but really into 1977 punk (Damned, The Saints, Radio Birdman) at heart.
A nasal Mick Jagger or ragged Little Richard SCREAMO voice is preferred over Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, or bad blooze poseurs. But if you can CROON it out like Elvis...we DIG!
The new singer/guitarist/keys has to be able to:
* Sing with balls and harmonise
* Keep on beat (MOST IMPORTANT)
* Play with the band (2nd MOST IMPORTANT)
* Know basic Barr chords (obviously, guitar)
* Rehearse AT LEAST once a week
* Have PANACHE!
We are REALLY easy to get along with and will deal with beginners, if you REALLY want to learn the ART of rock n' roll - we'll teach you.
We rehearse in the South Eastern Suburbs, but can relocate rehearsal if we REALLY need to.
We play at least once a month, plus a tour within Australia once/or twice a year, plus recording (and releases) and possibly another tour of Europe if we get the right chemistry going.
If you play keys got a Farfisa and Hammond electronic organ if you need gear.
