Hi

 

Was busy last night, i can call later today if thats ok, at work so cant talk now, but can message on here.

 

Whats your thoughts?

 

We are brand new, formed on Sheff Forum, met up once and are currently gathering songs to sort a setlist. Were all early 40's aged and live in Chapeltown & Hillsborough area.

 

Examples of songs are:

 

Do I Wanna Know - Monkeys

Club Foot - Kasabian

The Day We Caught The Train - Ocean Colour Scene

Waterfall - Stone Roses

Sit Down - James

Oasis - DLBIA

Oasis - Supersonic

Blur - Song 2

Shoot The Runner - Kasabian

Chasing Rainbows - Shed 7

Sea Horses -Love Is The Law

Stone Roses - Made Of Stone

Riverboat Song - Ocean Colour Scene

The La's - There She Goes

Bitter Sweet Symphony - The Verve

Charlatans- one to another

Charlatans-north country boy

Bet that you look good on the dancefloor - Monkeys

Sterophonics - Dakota

 

 

All that kind of stuff, old school 90's indie mixed with new indie inspired songs.

 

The ultimate aim is to get good enough to be a function band, weddings, festivals, parties etc. but also just want to enjoy it and play songs we love, and see how far we can get.

Are you sorted re vocals? I'm Chap area.

 

Have you considered doing this acoustically?

[Bobthebassis]

I sing a couple of numbers and back on nearly all. 3 part harmonies.

As for acoustically, no I haven't as my acoustic base is not good enough for the gig. I bought it years ago for home use. Its a Legacy make. Ok for home but that's about its limit.

Thanks

Sorry Bob.

 

The reply was meant for the fella putting the band together.

Hi wassa

 

Sorted for main vocals but need backing vocals

 

Do you play guitar?

 

We will do some acoustic but not the whole set

Pick the guitar up once every six months and soon lose interest, I'm afraid. Basic chord stuff would be OK.

 

I've been singing in bands for about 18yrs now and I suppose I've taken the easy option and just turn up and warble rather than carry loads of gear around.

 

Would consider backing if needed and would consider an acoustic sideline, perhaps two guitars and vox?

 

Cheers.
