ABOUT

********************************************
Alter-ego...Bass player role sought
********************************************

I enjoy playing bass enormously and have played bass in a covers band before (plus own recorded material). Pro Rickenbacker/Darkglass kit plus more. If you want a bass player for high energy material/punk pop, hit me up. Originals? All the better.
____________________________________________________________

*Band context...Vocalist needed*

Embryonic covers band with highly competent and committed drum partner, Darren (https://www.bandmix.co.uk/batchystix/). We are committed and serious about playing stuff properly, but also having fun.

Our favourite period is probably 80s, although we're not bound to that period but we do both enjoy doing non-obvious but well known music (with a few classics thrown in like 'Heroes', for example).

So far, we've worked up:
Enjoy The Silence - Depeche Mode
Policy of Truth - Depeche Mode
All You Ever Wanted - Rag 'n Bone Man
Josie - Steely Dan
Head Over Heels - Tears for Fears
Duel - Propaganda
It's My Life - Talk Talk
I Feel You - Johnny Marr (version of Depeche Mode)

Examples of kind of material that we're thinking of next:
Chaise Long - Wet Leg
Digging in the Dirt - Peter Gabriel
Kiss - Prince/Art of Noise/Tom Jones
When the Wires are down - Kraak and Smaak
Addicted to Love - Robert Palmer
Heroes - David Bowie
Blue Monday - New Order
Stupid Girl - Garbage
Ooh La La - Goldfrapp

Neither of us are particularly into 'classic rock' stuff.

My background: I'm primarily a guitarist but most recently played bass for 80s covers band, Shakolada

I'm also formerly a guitarist/writer in a three-piece (originals) with one album and singles under our belt, pro-recorded at Fitdog Studio, Northants.
