UndergroundScene Forums - View Single Post - Vocals, Guitar + Bass wanted : Relocating Folk Punk band (don't laugh yet!)

I'm looking for musicians for reform my old Folk Punk band from Brighton. I'm now based in Dundee, looking to set the band up either locally or in Edinburgh.

I'm the electric violinist (hope that doesn't put your off). I may have found a lead vocalist who will work as a front man, in the vein of John Lydon/Iggy Pop, but don't know until we can start rehersing with a band. I'm still looking for drums/bass/guitar.

If you get a chance, can you have a listen to these mp3's and let me know what you think?

These tunes are really a starting point. I want to add more technology into the set, perhaps a DJ, electronic percussion and loops, maybe even a brass section once things are moving, who knows..

I'd like to get the band up and running pretty quickly - just depends on finding the musicians, get a new demo recorded, and get onto the Scottish/North England gig circuit asap. Would look to doing at least Fri and Sat night gigs every week, looking towards festivals in the UK and Europe - I'd love to do Glastonbury again! I do need the members to be up for it, musically sound. Vocals need to be male, but the rest can be either - or in between I guess. Age, doesn't matter if you're up for it. I'm 31.

As for me, I've played with a number of bands in and around the UK for the past 10 years. I've also got a 1.4kw PA system for the smaller venues...

If you're interested, have questions etc. etc. email me mark at madfiddler . co . uk . Dunno if this is going to work, as I have no idea about the Scottish music scene, ho hum. Also, have a website http://www.madfiddler.co.uk

Thats the speech,

Cheers for now,

Mark.
