The Low Rent Funk Collective + Band in Eastwood, NSW

SEEKING

ABOUT

We're a funk/dance band with a comedic edge. Expect everything to have a twist - we're definitely NOT into straight covers - we like to put a spin on everything. We might take a classic rock song and reimagine it as disco/funk, or mash two totally different songs together (eg. Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and George Michael's Careless Whisper). This particular version of the band is a new project, but the musicians in it have been playing together in various forms for many years. Collectively we have around 3000 gigs between us.

Right now there are no gigs, so it seems like a good time to put a new concept together. Hopefully by Christmas there will be some work again. Looking for a lead guitar to join a guitarist/keyboardist. Guitar harmonies are something we love.
