ABOUT

I've fronted for numerous temporary bands but now I'm trying to seek dedicated players for a 5 piece, all boy band that will fit the style. Really looking for something long term and to connect with bandmates. Looking dedicated players from ages 15-18 to form a backing group that will play old blues, rock n' roll and R&B numbers in the style of the early 60's merseybeat (beat music) era. Would also be playing New Mexican music. This group is stationed in Albuquerque. The look of the band would more so be emulating the early 60's band look i.e. matching suits, leather jackets as well as the more calm and vintage look on instruments. Contact for more info: 505-515-9929
