gafbass02 Posted April 4, 2012 Share Posted April 4, 2012 (edited) Hey all. Oh the irony! Looks like I'm going to need a dep for a series of gigs over the summer. Mainly June. We play rocked up versions of pop stuff like bonnie Tyler, spice girls, Katy perry, lady gaga etc. it's awesome fun and the gigs are paid. All the gigs will be Gloucestershire area around Cheltenham area mainly. There's quite a lot of songs, but nothing taxing or tricky and we have a free rehearsal space ( we use a jamhub, it's great) All I need is someone who will learn the songs and turn up when they are needed, no huge commitment, no politics etc it's a three piece and a really fun band. It may turn into a full time post depending on our bassists recovery after an op. If you're interested please drop me a line for more details. The band is called 'MyDesign' Gaf Edited June 10, 2012 by gafbass02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewblack Posted April 5, 2012 Share Posted April 5, 2012 A couple of questions. Are you talking about turning up for gigs or rehearsals and gigs? What are the dates? My band are taking a break as the drummer is having a baby but I have some other commitments, so just wondering if they clash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted April 5, 2012 Author Share Posted April 5, 2012 Some rehearsals would be ideal, just to make sure everything's in place before we hit a stage, but the songs are so simple that endless hours of whip cracking wouldn't be nessecary lol These are the most likely dates. We wont know for sure until the bassist gets an operation date from the doctor then all its all systems go. June 2nd 2pigs Cheltenham Mon 4th Bayshill Chelt afternoon June 15th. Swan in Evesham. June 29th Rolleston Swindon June 30th Swindon August 18th Bayshill Cheltenham We 'd provide recordings of our versions of all tracks too for learning. And keep the set the same each time Limited to a strict. 2x45 set for ease. Our full song list is: Wherever whenever Paparazzi poker-face girls just want to have fun something kind of ooh Friday Saturday night Ooh ah just a little bit spice up your life Oops I did it again total eclipse of the heart firework fight for your right I like it rough wannabe think we're alone now relax hungry like the wolf Stay I kissed a girl trouble Running up that hill price tag thousand miles breathe Omen Nancy boy danger zone the look when I come around back for good teardrop motorcycle emptiness girl all the bad guys rooftops material girl screamager Basket case last Friday night The bad touch The only way is up Party rock anthem All 'four chord' versions, basic arrangements but 'rocked up' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 nobody? this could be a permanent position and its a ton of fun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobematt Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I play in a function band that does pretty similar stuff, rocked up gaga and katy perry etc. The only thing worrying me is the 2.5 hour drive... How much are the gigs paying? And is it expenses on top? Also I'm only free for about half the dates... On second thoughts it may not be the best idea haha. Anyway PM if you get really stuck!!!

nick Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Shame this oppurtunity isn't a[i] bit[/i] further south down the M5, would have jumped at it, great eclectic mix of tunes there. Have a bump, hope you find right person soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverBlackman Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 same issue, it'd be like £50 and 2hour trip a go. There must be someone wanting to do this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted April 19, 2012 Author Share Posted April 19, 2012 Cheers guys. It's normally about £50 each. In extreme circumstances I'd give up my share to save a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 It's a shame you're so far away as I'm in the process of putting together a similar band, but as I'm in East Sussex there shouldn't be any competition for gigs - I might steal a few tracks off your set list Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gafbass02 Posted April 20, 2012 Author Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thought that might happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PURPOLARIS Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 I live in Swindon and am free for the two dates if required, I've played the Rolleston numerous times, great little rock pub. Give me a shout if I'm needed and I'll learn the set list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
