Established Originals Punk Rock & Roll Band + Band in Middlesbrough, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Original, established band with small but resilient international fanbase and solid reputation earned over many years.
Rowdy, dark, aggressive rock & roll with main elements of psychobilly, punk, rockabilly, horrorpunk, garage punk, and blues. Think punk with a swing to it.
8 physical album discog. on small independents (+ downloadable releases on iTunes, Spotify and all major platforms).
International live track record (UK, Europe, N. America, Russia) with ever ongoing interest.
Pro-attitude played for fun: Amateur/Semi-pro. Works around the day jobs, weekend warriors type of stuff with the occasional small tour.
New material, recording and other projects always ongoing.
Gig bookings into 2019 to confirm.

Music:
All originals. Style references without necesarily sounding like Motorhead, Rev. Horton Heat, The Cramps, The Meteors, The Misfits, Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Monsters...

Would like to invite you onboard if you are:
A proficient, dynamic drummer and reasonably quick learner with your own high standards.
Looking for 'your band'.
Serious about enjoying the music you play with a team mentality.
Reasonably outgoing and 'in-the-gang', up for hanging out for the odd celebration/party and up for a damn good laugh.
Willing to undertake all realistic gig offers great or small without demanding special personal conditions or criteria.

Mission:
Learn an 18 song live setlist reasonably quickly from recordings to be fine-tuned at band rehearsals.
Be available to travel for live performances including some overnight stopovers (usually weekends).
Be a dependable, professional, honest and reliable teamplayer.
Enjoy what you do and enjoy being part of a very credible band.
Collaborate on new material. Songwriting/ideas welcome.
Accomodate non-local weekend rehearsals if necessary.
Travel abroad occassionally.
Take the good with the bad.

This is an opportunity to join a distinct and respected 'alternative' cult band with a worldwide fanbase and diverse appeal.
Whilst nothing is guaranteed it's reasonable to expect to play some decent gigs, some crappy but fun anyway gigs, travel a little and be respected within a small scene.
The pay may be practically non-existent after expenses but the rewards are great.

All considered, but seriously please no timewasters, bullshitters or chancers please.
Message for more details, thanks.
