ABOUT

I’m Hugh, the singer in Birmingham indiepop band, Mighty Mighty.
I’m recruiting for my other band, beazel catnip.
I’m looking for a lead guitarist with the style and prowess of Steve Cropper, James Kirk or Tom Verlaine.
A rhythm guitarist with the metronome-like quality of Nile Rodgers.
A bass player with the immaculate timing of Carol Kaye and the melodic sensibility of Peter Hook.
A drummer with the “in the pocket” feel of Al Jackson Jr or David Hood.
A keyboard player like a young Martin Duffy or Jimmy McGriff.
I’m entirely unconcerned about your ethnicity or your gender or age – but you must be capable players.
I’m all about a hard work ethic and admire Black Flag’s 98 gigs in 95 days or The Beatles’ 400 shows in 1963. That’s what I’d like to emulate.
So my initial plan is to spend 3 months rehearsing a 10 song set and then gigging till happy with a choice of 3 songs for a 7” single. We’ll then either release it on my own label or licence it to a mid-size indie record company. Then more records, more gigs, more records…
Good looks are a bonus and a sense of humour is essential.
Happy to co-write songs – you supply the music but the lyrics are mine.
I’m on 07737-299712 if you’d like to audition/chat or at [email protected] if you’re feeling shy.
