ABOUT
Looking for a talented and down to earth drummer to join blues band. We like to play the down and dirty mississippi delta blues fused with old school garage rock n roll, both originals and covers, and are keen to get a full time drummer to help us complete our lineup. Really keen on creating hypnotic blues grooves based around repeated ideas that branch out into full blown jams and psychedelia. We are all experienced players who have toured the world playing music and now wanna set up a long term project here at home that will keep us interested , creative and playing quality gigs for many years to come. Not looking for technique heads or ego trippers, just want a solid and creative minded drummer who can listen to whats being played and write their own parts over the top while being conscious of the need to serve the song above all else. An ability to improvise is a must too, not looking for a robot here. So, if you have an interest in jamming, writing songs and have the blues deep down in your soul, contact us and lets get together for a session to see if we got the goods...
