KEV67 Posted December 10, 2023 Share Posted December 10, 2023 I have yet to decide on a singer but my other band members are John McGeoch (Siouxie and the Banshees, Magazine ) electric guitar David Norreys (Joy Division, New Order) - drums Brian Jones (Rolling Stones) - instrumentalist David Steele (The Beat, Fine Young Cannibals) - bass The singer is tricky.

KEV67 Posted December 10, 2023 Author Share Posted December 10, 2023 Yes the problem with the singer is that they are so distinctive that they dominate the band. First the voice is a very distinctive instrument, and then they sing the words, which if they are good words, is a second dimension to the music. So I would want a singer who had a strong voice, but did not have such a distinctive style he dominated the band. Because then it would be a case of Gary Flash and the Backing Band.

KEV67 Posted December 30, 2023 Author Share Posted December 30, 2023 I decided on Pete Wylie from The Mighty Wah. Dangerous choice perhaps, because he was an egomaniac. He had a good voice though. I doubt this will be a very stable band, but if they can get two half decent LPs out of them it would be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
