Need rock bassist with energetic physical performance

Holly Springs GA

Description

Looking for a bassist who likes the idea of putting on an over-the-top show and is able to give a highly energetic physical performance (jump / kick / spin, etc.). Backing vocals a plus. This is a classic hard rock band with an emphasis on production and showmanship. As long as you're over 21, have your life together and enjoy this kind of music, your age is not a factor. Venues for cover bands often have tiny stages (if there’s even a stage at all), and the gig is usually just being a human juke box. Been there, done that. Instead of just playing songs, we’ll be putting on a well organized and polished show. Our spotlights, video, lighting and special effects are complete overkill for these rooms, and that’s exactly the point - to give people an arena style performance where it’s least expected. To give you an idea of the kind of music we'll be doing, these are the audition songs, including YouTube links should you not be familiar with them.

Also, a show like this takes longer to get working than a simple cover band, but right now no one's gigging anyway. When ready, we’ll only work a couple of weekends a month because most people have family activities as well. For the same reason we’ll only rehearse once a week, probably a weeknight. The studio is in Canton, five minutes off of 575. Most importantly, we’re looking for happy people who are enjoyable to be around. We’re ambitious, but this stuff is supposed to be fun. Here’s a video of the show package in action, the song list, samples of playing and additional details. www.HappyDragonMusic.com/Video/ClassicRockProject If you’re the droid we’re looking for, get in touch!
