ABOUT

Hi there, thanks for looking in. We are a 3 piece psychedelic / classic rock band based in north London that have been together for 3 years putting together a set of interesting songs with a few standards thrown in for good measure. Were a bit raggedy and noisy, think Hendrix, and we like to go off and ad lib jams in the songs. We learn and perform music for fun and the odd few quid from the venues we play in and have been building our repertoire and performing the songs monthly at a little pub in west London for the past year in order to work out our stage sound and to practice engaging with an audience. Our audiences have been small but the feedback we’ve had from them has been positive and they tell us we need to get out into bigger pubs with more punters. We would like to do this and to polish our set to get even tighter but think that in order to come across the best we can and to have more flexibility on the music side of things we need a dedicated lead singer. Said singer would need to have an appreciation of the music of the 60’s and 70’s and be familiar with the songs in the set. There are also some instrumentals in the set so if said singer has some guitar or key chops they could be utilised.

Our current set list includes, Hendrix - Hey Joe, Purple Haze, Voodoo Chile. Frank Zappa - The Slime, More trouble every day, If only she woulda, Road Ladies, Wonderful Wino, Willie the Pimp, Cosmik Debris. Beatles – Tomorrow never knows, Come together. Bad Company - Can’t get enough of your love. Ian Dury and the Blockheads - Wake up n make love with me. Little Feat - Spanish Moon. Black Sabbath - The Warning. Rolling Stones - Dead Flowers. Joe Walsh - Funk 49. Doors - LA Woman. Freddie King - Going Down. Beck Bogert, Appice et al – Superstition segued into whole lotta love. Robin trower – Bridge of sighs. Pink Floyd – Fearless, Comfortably Numb. Hawkwind – Spirit of the age. Neil Young – Hurricane , Mellow my mind.
Our current instrumentals are Frank Zappa - Chungas Revenge, Black Napkins, sh*tW. Mahavishny Orchestra – You know you know. Billy Cobham (Jeff Beck) – Stratus. Alphonse Mouzon – Golden Rainbows.

More about us. We are in our 60’s, 1 retired and 2 still in employment. We’ve all played instruments for over 30 years and have a long experience of playing live albeit on small stages etc. As music lovers, we’ve seen many of the bands we cover and still enjoy going to concerts. We want to keep reminding people of these great artists and share our love of the music with them. We are all settled in our lives, healthyish and non-smoking tee totalers for the most part. We’ve got a small PA and our own transport. We meet every Sunday afternoon to work on new material and rehearse in Holloway Rd. We take our music seriously and put a lot of work into what we are doing.

About you. Man, or woman, you’d Ideally be between 40 and 60, have the rock look, confidence, charisma and good experience of performing live with some links to You on Tube or similar platform so we can see what you do.
You’d need to know and like the songs and be willing to work on them at home as well as in rehearsal and you’d need to be doing it for fun and the joy of performance. You’d need to have your own gear and transport and be ready to be out late.

So if you tick the boxes above and would like to have a try out with us then drop us a line telling us a bit about yourself, your experience and some links of your singing.
