Need a new singer....


..... loved the fact that the tags on the site threw up patatas bravas. Is that a new genre?

The vocals seem to "flatten" the sound out if that makes sense. That very masculine instrumentation might work better behind a decent female voice. I don't mind a bit of The Pixies, and I can hear that in there. Good luck to the lot of them. So do you get to be the roadie too?

My son is trying to convince the bassist to try some vocals but she is really shy.

Vocalist needs to work out a style that siuts his voice is straining to much atm.

Patatas bravas - spanicsh indie innit!

Go instrumental.
Gore, Don Cab, etc, it can work!

Early days. Give the singer a bit of slack, he might calm down soon. This sort of thing doesn't tend to come naturally and it can take some time to hone a bit of stagecraft. It's not easy fronting a group- as you say, no one seems keen to take over at the moment.

You're right they have only played 5 gigs so far. They have the right attitude to it all it's just some mate having fun playing their music, not looking for anything other than that really.
