New Band Forming Now & Looking For Musicians

James Gillies · 01-23-2008, 12:05 PM

My name is James Gillies, 28 years old, singer/guitarist from d'Iberville, MS. I am putting together a working band that will perform punk rock versions of songs from the late 50s to early 60s; Earth Angel, Peggy Sue, At The Hop, Rockin' Robin and other top songs of that era. The goal will be to start out playing at bars/clubs, private parties & receptions and eventually casinos. This will be a fun but hard working band and expectations will be high. Drummers, Bassists & Guitarists (vocal harmonizing ability is a plus) that are interested feel free to call or text message me 24/7. My cell # is (707) 514-5924.

This a great idea and a potential goldmine of a project. If you young rockers don't get on this soon I'll integrate it into my country act. Kid Rock made a little change cross-genre-ing.

The only thing I know how to play is the piano/keyboard. Plus I sing. But don't know if there is a need for that?

good idea james.
best of luck bro!

I just bought a pool table!

buzzincuzzin · 02-26-2008, 05:11 AM

Many a night I made more money doing that than playing in the band.

ssspert · 02-26-2008, 05:16 AM

I sucked at pool. I was too analytical when I played pool.

Basic single-plane geometry you just have to connect the dots. They should teach pool and punk-rock in the 4th grade,,,, the world would be a better place.
