SEEKING
Keyboard.ABOUT
Looking for a proficient female keyboardist with a tuneful voice to augment our repertoire of cover and original tunes. Rehearsals are scarce and new songs are often learned and adapted on the gig, so... good improvisational skills and ability to listen, speak, lead and follow are essential. We are of high instrument standard, quick on our feet with changes of direction and dynamics and are very tight as a band. We do have day-time professions, so no touring involved (unless we get signed with a major). Oh, and since we have resident gigs in Reading, Hampton, Bracknell, High Wycombe, Twickenham, Basingstoke, Muswell Hill, Ealing... you will need wheels!
We are mainly a funk/rock and indie/pop covers and originals act (trio-quintet-dj), working with the occasional agent and through private contacts, interpreting songs from B.Adams, Killers, C.C.R, Doors, B.Marley, G.Benson, RHCP, Kinks, Queen, Wild Cherry, U2, Beasties, Green Day, B.Withers, Reef, Nirvana, L.Kravitz, Elvis, Beatles, P.Simon, KingsOfLeon, Blur, Radiohead, R.Williams and a few others.
We have been gigging together for quite a while now, circulating steadily around London and further out. Those orbits have led us to countless appearances which have -so far- included birthday parties, corporate functions, weddings, festivals, open school days, competitions, charities, BBQs, boat rides, opening for Dorothy Masouka and Scouting for Girls, three times at the Islington Carling Academy finals and more pubs and bars than we are able to recall-or care to remember...
