Calling All Mike Rutherfords....
We are a 5 piece Genesis band, and we need to replace our guitarist and bassist, who have decided that they "wish to pursue other avenues of musical indulgence."
We formed early this year, and have had a number of rehearsals with a view to gigging from 2013 on. Our secret weapon is a perfect clone of Phil Collins, and our mission is to do anything Genesis did with Phil, which really only limits us a tiny bit.
What we're looking for are 2 guys who can either take a role each, or share the guitars or basses, play bass pedals, and generally look after the string department. Different songs will require a different mix of skills, but to give a rough guide, between you, you will need to cover electric, acoustic 6 string/12 string, bass pedals, and of course vocals would be nice. Bassist really needs to have either bass pedals or a Roland PK5 and a module to make this work - or be prepared to get hold of these.
Current members :
Andy - drums - full concert kit, electronic pads, every conceivable accessory and oodles of talent.
Dan - keyboards - Yamaha EX5, DX7, GEM S3, Roland A90, D50, JX10, AX1, JV-1080, Korg TR-Rack, Wavestation SR, Akai CD300XL
Richard - vocals - looks and sounds like Phil Collins

We are based in Woking and Southampton, so if you are based anywhere around the M3 corridor and have transport, it would work well. We rehearse in Basingstoke.
We are of a pretty good standard already, and all play in other prog projects - but Genesis is our first love, we are totally committed to this project, and we need to find the right people to make this work. Talent is important but so is personality - pleasant but driven and committed is probably a fair description.
So - if you are up for this, please PM me, or contact me on
[email protected]. We are planning auditions on 15/16 Sep so please get in touch quickly so that we can meet up and move forwards.
Keep them mowing blades sharp!
Dan
