The King Blues…
So I was talking to the guitarist from Sonic Boom Six, and he suggested I play saxophone on their next tour. So I said I’d speak to my lecturers. Who all said this was fine. So…I don’t know if this is a plot for him to get into my pants or if it’s a genuine offer. But if it’s a genuine offer then that’s awesome. Sax with Sonic Boom Six would be incredible.
Then I got it into my head that there’s a few bands around that are lacking the instruments they need. Perkie just left The King Blues. So I thought I’d ask if they’re looking for a replacement. Turns out they’re kind of looking for someone to play Perkie’s parts for tours and big shows but not looking for a full time member, this person must be able to play keys, sing confidently and learn things very quickly. and I can do all three. So their guitarist said to send him a video of me singing Headbutt and Mr Music Man. So I did and I’m just kinda waiting on what he thinks. But he said before that he was willing to give me a go.
This was our conversation earlier.
Tia: that’s fair
my next question was gonna be (as i’m sure loads of people have asked) are you looking for a replacement?
Jamie: think so, maybe not someone fulltime for the time, but definatly for touring and the bigger shows. they need to be able to play keys (ie hit the fuck outta them and play ska/reggae chops) sing confidently and be fast learner
Jamie: have anyone in mind?
Tia: lol
well i play keys, and sing and i’m a very fast learner
Tia: and i probably couldn’t be a full time member anyway and only be able to do tours and shows and that kinda thing cause i’m in uni atm
i’m asking a load of bands if they need extra players cause i need some experience and stuff
so if you find you’re looking i’d be very grateful if you’d consider it :$
Jamie: see, experience is really the key. when you start seeing more of this industry you see that its totally different than what you might expect, it can be a total shock, but i’m well up for trying you out totally
Tia: sorry to just straight into this lol. i’m supposed to be in a meeting with my lecturer and asking if i can have time off uni to do a tour haha
Jamie: i’d rather that, can’t stand people who dont just get to the point with these things
tell you what
video record yourself playing along to mr music man and headbutt, singing a melody and send it to me.
…So, yeah, cool.
By the way, there are The King Blues, in case you’ve forgotten since last time I mentioned them.
