Musicians needed for 80s band M/F

Clearwater FL

Description

We are a bassist/lead vocalist and a synthesist/guitarist looking for a drummer, guitarist (or two) and possibly another synth player to play 80s covers. Ideally we are looking to have five musicians total. The material we are working on is the stuff you would have seen on MTV in the early 80s - mostly Brit synth rock (Modern English, A Flock of Seagulls, Cure, Inxs, Bunnymen, Numan) as well as some US stuff like Devo and Wall of Voodoo. We have a half-dozen songs quasi-fleshed out as we work toward putting together a set that can be used to play out. The ultimate goal will be to work up to three sets to play clubs that require a whole night of music. The guitarist(s) should be comfortable using effects and should certainly be willing to play well with others. The drummer would ideally play (and) own both electric and acoustic drums. The keyboard player need not be of Rick Wakeman caliber for this but should certainly be able to play Depeche Mode style keys. Personal equipment and transportation absolutely necessary. We have a practice studio in Clearwater near 19 and Gulf to Bay Blvd. At this point we rehearse about three times a month but hope to be able to pin down a day where we can rehearse once a week.
