Guitar Player & Drummer seek Bass for Variety Dance Band

Phoenix AZ

Description

We are a 38 year old drummer and a 28 year old guitar player who are putting together a "covers only" dance band doing music from the 70's thru today for quality better paying local gigs (private parties, etc). We're not interested in any originals you might have or want to do as we want to do steady gigs where we actually get paid. If you play bass at least decently I want to hear from you. If you can sing some leads too then I really want to talk to you. You also need to know the difference between dance music and non dance music so we're all on the same page. A few examples would be "The Breakup Song by Greg Kin" "Play that Funky Music by Wild Cherry" Somebody's Baby by Jackson Browne" and even "Circles by Post Malone". In other words, if you think Metallica, Iron Maiden, or other bands like them play dance music, this won't be a good fit for you. Once we're all together we expect everyone to do their homework and show up to rehearsal's on time and prepared so we can be out gigging in a reasonable amount of time. While we want to have fun doing this and it's not only about the money, part of this is about making some money so the " I don't care about the money" attitude which translates to "I don't care about taking this serious" won't fly. We also won't be drinking or smoking weed during rehearsals or gigs. If any of these things are a problem for you, please don't waste our time by responding to this. We won't rush things but we aren't going to be a year in rehearsal and be no where near gig ready either. You get the point. Now, we rehearse in Avondale so it would be better if you live somewhere on the west side. If this sounds like something you'd be interested in- call Tim at or just respond by email through this ad and let's do this. Oh, and, if it didn't occur to you, this will not be a hobby band so, SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY! Thank you.
