Born to Lose

We think we're sorted at the moment at least, we're trying someone out, so we'll see how it goes for a few weeks and see how he fits in, but many thanks to everyone for your interest, I'll certainly keep everyone's details and get in touch if necessary.

Don't put em all off mate - well, maybe one or two songs anyway...good to hear from you again man.

Job available again guys - let down unfortunately.

Thanks Rich, that's much appreciated.

All the times I've advertised for musicians before, it's been like pulling teeth, and this time I have three interested parties immediately. [size=4]I offered the job to someone just yesterday, so hopefully all will work out well, but many thanks indeed to peeps who responded, it's good to know there are people around here who are so keen.[/size]

Have a dedicated rehearsal room in Dewsbury where we can leave PA set up etc - costs a bit, but a lot better then lugging gear in and out constantly - you just need to brave the cold in winter.

Bass player wanted for new band - the idea is to do a bit of a mix of R & B, rock & roll, a bit of country, a bit of punk - like Leeds band the Prowlers used to do when I was with them (if you've heard of them, of course) - One of those things though that could change quite a bit when everyone throws ideas in and stuff gets bounced around - probably just covers though, a good mix of some well known stuff and some not so I guess - if you haven't already, check out the Jim Jones Revue, great attitude and performance. Not looking to be ridiculously busy, but decent standard of playing, and above all, the enjoyment of playing stuff we like live. Don't worry, we're not the type of people who want to rehearse endlessly and never do anything with it - been there too often thanks. Other members are well experienced middle-agers based around Wakefield / Leeds area.

Good experienced musos starting up a New Wave 80's type covers band looking for a bass player cause everyone seems to want be a guitar hero these days - I used to be in a Sheffield band doing this, and it works out really well for them, they're very popular. Gigs will be across Yorkshire and Lancashire, wherever's worth doing and prepared to pay, mostly pubs, hopefully moving into private parties etc. We have our own rehearsal room in Dewsbury, once a week if poss, and we have a minibus for the gear and bodies. Here is a rough songlist we've drawn up (obviously flexible with these) - Department S - Is Vic There The Knack - My Sharona Joe Jackson - Different For Girls / Is She Really Going Out With Him Elvis Costello - Pump It Up / Olivers Army Gary Numan - Cars The Look - I Am The Beat Undertones - My Perfect Cousin / Here Comes The Summer Boomtown Rats - She's So Modern / Looking Out For Number One Buzzcocks - What Do I Get / Ever Fallen In Love Stranglers - Something Better Change / Go Buddy Go The Jags - Back Of My Hand The Damned - Nasty / Hit Or Miss / Just Can't Be Happy Today Clash - I Fought The Law Only Ones - Another Girl Vapours - Turning Japanese Dr Feelgood - Milk And Alcohol Tenpole Tudor - Swords Of A Thousand Men / Wunderbar Psychedelic Furs - Pretty In Pink Rezillos - Top Of The Pops The Jam - Eton Rifles Please get in touch if you're interested.

Well, shock of all shocks, the guy we offered the job to has messed us about something chronic, so this job is now open again to anyone interested.

We're auditioning someone local next week, so if he fits in, this will be suspended, but many thanks for all your replies - this site obviously works

[quote name='Algae' post='1175662' date='Mar 25 2011, 11:09 AM']Shame you are not a bit further north as I probably already know most of your set having previously been in a Dr Feelgood tribute and I'm also doing a lot of Jason & The Scorchers with my other band. It sounds right up my street! Probably a bit far for me to travel to though (from Newcastle), unless the gigs pay well ?[/quote] Sounds like you're a in a good band there man - I love the Scorchers, but no, Newcastle is a hell of a trek - we need someone local who can practice every week you know ? Had a few replies from people who are just that bit far away unfortunately...
