New Band Member Page

NEW BAND MEMBERS REQUIRED

Hi,

We are currently looking for the following:

For both members we require the following:
-------------------
- Male aged 18-30
- Professional Attitude & Commitment
- Able to harmonise (if you are a singer)
- Talented, solid player (if you are drummer or guitarist)
- Good image & stage presence

Please read this page and we'd really appreciate you filling in the form at the bottom of the page! Saves asking all of those questions when you contact us...

Many thanks,

Yewhan, Jon & Sam

We are looking to write, record & perform high quality catchy music with a 70's / 80's retro feel. Think a mixture of Queen, Abba, Stevie Wonder and a few other bands and styles thrown in. We are not interested in being a metal/screamo band, or shoe-gazing indie band...

Our preferred set-up would be a 5-piece with 2 guitarists (lead & rhythm), keys, bass and drums with all being able to sing, and certainly no fewer than 4 singers. We will also consider a new lead singer if you can sing our tracks better than us! As you will hear from our current tracks, harmony is certainly a big factor in our sound supported by tight solid grooves and melodic instrumental playing.

All being well you should currently be listening to our most recent recordings on the fancy streaming mp3 player. If not, click here for mp3 downloads.

NEW RECORDINGS:
1. Keep Me Whole- recorded May 2008 (J. Baker)
2. Piece By Piece - recorded May 2008 (Y. Baker)
3. Get Over Yourself - recorded Mar 2008 (J. Baker)
4. Journey Begins - recorded Apr 2008 (Y. Baker)
5. Running On A Red Light - recorded Mar 2008 (J. Baker, Y. Baker, A. Hall, T. Mills)

We have plenty of other songs written & recorded, some of which we may consider using again, but will rework and re-record.

Once we get a drummer involved we will look to record drums onto the new tracks too rather than having to use a drum machine.

We are more than open to playing other people's songs and co-writing new material.

Yew Han Baker - Keys/Vocals

Jon Baker - Guitar/Vocals

Sam Cummings - Bass/Vocals

We are professional musicians and work in a function band called The Funtime Frankies. Please go there if you wish to have a laugh, but it should help to give you an idea of our versatility and ability as musicians. NOTE - THERE IS NO POSITION AVAILABLE IN THE COVERS BAND - we are only looking for players for the original music.

While we enjoy playing covers at weddings and parties our hope is to be successful as an originals band. Yewhan & Jon developed quite a few decent contacts within major labels, top management companies & MTV with their previous band The Idanos.

While we are based in Lancashire, we will consider working with people anywhere around the country if they are prepared to travel as we are.

If you require any more info then please don't hesitate to contact us on 07792 143686.
