This may turn out to be a terrible mess but the plan for the Belle & Sebastian Sinister East Coast Cover Band is this: I will create and keep a database of Sinister musicians that can, on occasion make themselves available for parties and the like, in the guise of our favorite yet shunning scots. What I need: More musicians. We need all kinds of people for this project from all over (I'm only limiting it right now to the east coast of America because that's where I am and driving for more than a day gets in the way of work). Everyone is welcome to join, even if you only want to sing for one song or you haven't played your recorder since grade school. This will only work if lots of people from lots of places can do this. How it will work: An event/party is planned by a member of sinister where they would like us to perform in place of the real thing. It is very important that anyone planning an event/party notify the database at least 3 weeks in advance so it's members can plan for the time off. Once a plan is received by the database all members of the band will be contacted with the details of the event. Those members that are able to perform on the date and at the location will then notify the database and I will confirm the band for the event. Each member of the database will be responsible for learning and practicing the songs. It can be as many or as few songs as they are comfortable or interested in learning. The database will keep track of the songs known to each of its members. Before an event a setlist will be decided on and if possible the members will meet up before (the morning of or the day before) the event for a set list run through. The show is apt to be sloppy but it's all in fun. Anyone with interest or big backyards e-mail me with your information. With luck we'll be singing and strumming and passed out 4 hours before the real band is in September. -kirk PS.
