rock cover band--stooges, hives, yardbirds, cream, doors, Jimi,

Newark NJ

Description

I am a drummer. I am 38. I need music in my life. Here are the songs I would like to cover: Stooges-"1970" Hives-"Die Alright" Yardbirds-"Stroll on" Zombies-"Butchers tale" Jimi-"Crosstown traffic" Cream-"politician" Doors-not sure Pink floys-"mudmen" or something else early and psychedelic The Who: "Heaven and Hell" Ideally, the band would be called A Fine Family Fortune, which is a line from the film "Barry Lyndon." I would like the band to have a 60s-70s British/American rock/psych vibe, with roaring guitar solos, dopeass bass lines, and cool hair. We would need a place to practice. I have drums, plenty of em. I recognize these songs are challenging to learn; my goal is not to do note-for-note covers, but rather covers which capture the feel and spirit of the original: freedom, youth, energy, power, musicianship, fun, rock and roll basically. Once we have established our groove, some originals might be a good idea. As I said, I'm 38. I am looking for musicians in the 25-45 range. I'm not sure what we would do with this act, and I don't know about you, but I'd like to play some shows. Okay? Looking forward to hearing from you. -Mark
