Band looking for horn section
May 12, 2008
7 of us at present – 2 x piano / keyboard (one of which male lead singer and
the songwriter), 1 x lead guitar, 1 x bass, 1 x drums, 1 x percussion /
conga, 1 x female backing singer.
Been practising together for nearly a year Just started gigging Hoping to
get more regular gigs from this point on – in area ie berkshire / reading,
hopefully some London small venues later on in year.
Majority have been in bands before.
Ages – late 20’s – 40 (except for our baby drummer!) Musical style – retro
piano based indie (prob best way to describe) Influences – in a nutshell,
Stevie Wonder, Polyphonic Spree, Belle & Sebastien, White Stripes No covers
New songs being put together all the time.
Just started recording process for a 3 track demo (free through a friend
with studio) Practice every Tuesday eve at No Machine in Wokingham, plus
other jams at houses when we’re all free
Doing it for love not money!
Looking for…..
Horn section! A Trumpeter a definite (or more, if there were any?) a bonus
would be Sax and Trombone too?! But all brass players for modern bands seem
quite hard to come by!?
There are horn sections already arranged for all songs to date pretty much,
10 – 15 which we practice. But always open for input / interpretation etc
Any sex / age welcome as long as they like the music, want to play with a
fun bunch of people?! Music not technically too challenging though it can be
whatever you make it
Hope that is enough info for you? Should be – cant think of anything else!

There’s a potential new jam session venue at The Old Ticket Hall, a
pub in Windsor. We need to gauge interest before this can be
arranged, so could anyone who would be keen to attend email me at
js102@zepler.net. Thanks, James Shaw.
