ABOUT

We are looking for excellent and attractive male and female lead vocalists to complete an excellent band with 4 great players.

Instrumentation is bass (5-string and electric-upright), drums (acoustic, electronic, drum machines), keys, and lead guitar. Male and Female lead vocals finish the project. We are hoping that our vocalists will be able to double either on guitar or keys as well, but this is not necessary if you are an exceptional vocalist and front person. The drummer, keyboardist, bassist and guitar player can all sing lead and do so on several numbers and all are highly capable at harmonies.

This project is based on a “Decades” concept. Four sets of music. Set 1 is 60’s – mostly the more rockin’ danceable Motown tunes of the era and a healthy dose of classic horn rock (Spirit, Vehicle, Grassroots, Lighthouse, etc). The second set is 70’s dance/rock/funk with one or two production numbers as well. 3rd set is 80’s dance - heavy on synth and electronic drums - also featuring one or two production numbers, and the fourth set is big danceable hits from the 90’s and 00’s. The Decades show will eventually include wardrobe changes between sets.

One of our selling points is that this band does NOT perform ANY of the usual suspects. Decades does NOT play Brown-eyed Girl, Play That Funky Music, Old Time Rock & Roll, Takin' Care of Business, Mustang Sally, etc. We are performing GREAT songs that EVERYONE knows that none of the other bands are playing. This is an excellent band with excellent vocals consisting of very high-caliber players who know how to work, perform, and have FUN doing it. We need the same from our new singer. Obviously, candidates that are dynamic front people and/or can play instruments such as guitar and/or keys as well as sing will have an edge. Age is not as important as ability and appearance. If you are excellent at what you do, and you look great doing it, and want to be part of an excellent band we want to hear from you.

We are all highly skilled professionals with professional gear and a deep understanding of how to use it. We would prefer someone who owns the appropriate gear for a singer to be heard over the other instruments at a rehearsal. We need a team player willing to get sweaty and dirty before and after the gig with everyone else. We need someone who is willing to show up early and help setup the show and is willing to stay behind and tear it down.

Our financial goal here is no less than $200 per person per gig and work up rapidly from there. There is excellent corporate opportunity in Atlanta and we intend to tap into that market extensively. Obviously, this project will require a great deal of work to get it polished. However, we do not want to be a band that rehearses all the time. Once the show is up and running (we are half-way there), we want to be performing often enough each month that we don’t need to rehearse unless we are working in new material.

We have some audio and video up on as well: ./decades411
