Bassist (or guitarist) required for ambitious Glam covers project

[JapanAxe]

Glam Vision are seeking a bass player or lead/rhythm guitarist to complete their lineup. Material will be drawn from the classic Glam hits of the 70s and you will be expected to recreate them with some accuracy. The band’s sound will be augmented with some instrumental tracks, so the successful applicant will need to use in-ear monitors and own, or be willing to obtain, a suitable setup. Whether you wish to use a conventional amp and cab or a modeller would be up to you.

Auditions and rehearsals will be held in Oxfordshire/Buckinghamshire or thereabouts, and the band will be looking to perform nationally, so having reliable transport is essential. If it would help you to have sheet music to learn from, transcriptions of all the numbers are available. Some vocal ability would be an advantage, but not essential.

If you are put off by the idea of flares and silly wigs, rest assured that is not the way we are going! However, we want you to be able to engage with the audience and bring some of your own personality to the show.

I will be playing lead/rhythm guitar in the band (or bass, depending on who we get!) and will be looking after musical direction and technical matters. Drop me a PM to get the ball rolling.

Good Luck with this, it soonds like fun but just a bit too far away for me. I joined a band like this a few years back and learned their set only for them to all fall out with each other before my first gig with them. Family row as the drummer was the guitarist/bandleader's son. For me it's an itch I'd like to scratch but for me 25miles is far enough to travel for rehearsals. Hope you find someone

Thanks for the good wishes. We have recently started rehearsing with an excellent guitarist, with yours truly on bass.
