Lead Guitar, Keyboard.ABOUT
The Volted Hearts, comprised of myself (David Kline) guitarist / singer / songwriter, along with skillful drummer and percussionist (Hugo James) and melodic bass player (Pete Lock) are looking to add a lead guitarist to complete a band playing a mix of originals and some covers. All welcome to apply, male or female, returners after a break and older players too.
Music Bio: As a Singer / songwriter David Kline has lots of experience of songwriting and playing in bands, including live work and recording. His songs reflect his varied influences and are a mix of 60s garage pop, 70s new wave with a splash of Motown, Stax and Soul. His songs emphasise strong melodies, big choruses with witty, ironic lyrics and a splash of social comment.
David has previously fronted west London, mod-influenced quintet, The Provisos, active between 2009-2015.
The Volted Hearts rehearse at Pirate studios in Notting Hill every few weeks. The plan is to get a set working, find suitable gigs, record tunes, make music videos and promote our work.
However, we all have work and family commitments so this is essentially a fun project, so a sense of humour and relaxed attitude are crucial. If you are happy to rehearse every few weeks and gig every few months, this project is ideal for you.
