Queen Tribute Band available for New Years Eve or New Years Day entertainment. We are now available for private events, corporate events, or public bookings. We are QUEENORMOUS, a nine piece Queen Tribute Band that features eight vocalists accompanied by a full rock band. We perform the studio versions of Queen's music live with all the harmonies and finest details. Our claim to fame is that we can perform "Bohemian Rhapsody" in its entirety with every studio recorded vocal reproduced live. This is a feat that even Queen themselves couldn't pull off in their live shows. With eight vocalists and two lead guitar players, QUEENORMOUS presents a finely tuned jaw-dropping wall of rock and roll sound like no other. Our show features 28 of Queen's greatest hits and is two hours in length. We also offer an additional opening dance set of classic rock cover tunes if you are looking for a full evening of entertainment. We are a large group but our pricing is very competitive and negotiable depending on the length, location, and whether or not sound is included. Please contact our musical director Shannon for pricing and booking information. 208-596-0504 or thunderboltandlightningmusic@gmail.com

Have you pissed off anyone by refusing to play "quiet"?
Do you have at least five picks or sticks within ten feet of you at all times?
Are you ready to make some faces melt and ears bleed?

So far it's rhythm, bass and possibly a third "mystery member". We're looking for a drummer and lead guitar. Must be easygoing, and adaptable to multiple styles. We have not decided 100% on our sound or songs, but originals are on the way.

Interested? Email me at bush_master@hotmail.com with your influences, gear, first song you learned, and your current favorite song that won't get out of your head no matter what you try...

We are Steve Barteau & Greg Klutenkamper, brothers-in-law that formed a duo called Just for S & G. Steve got out of the Navy in 1986 & we have been playing music ever since. Both are big fans of the Beatles, Eagles & Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. Steve tends to be more Country, Greg tends to be more Rock, Steve tends to be more melodic, Greg tends to be more riff based. This allows them to complement each others playing style. However, they have been told their voice harmonies are their strongest point. We are happy & willing to play all night, just the two of us, but our approach to performing live music is a little different than most, in that we welcome others to come up & perform with us. We have a great big book with Rock, Country, Folk & Blues, new & old, over 350 songs that we are capable of playing, so there is always something some one wants to hear and/or join in with. We have a song list with all our songs on that we play, we set those on the tables & welcome others to come up & jam. It’s a little warmer & more personal than a karaoke, if some one wants to play guitar, we have extra guitars, we can even switch to a banjo, mandolin, harmonica or a dobro, or – well you get the point.
It may surprise some to see just how talented the audience members can be, and how willing those folks are to get up there & jam along with us. We find that people stay longer & spend more because they are having fun, and its all about having fun. We are looking to develop a larger following, so we need a regular place to play, we were looking for approximately 2 times a month or every other week end. However, since we both got kids in college, we will play when ever we get a chance! We charge $225.00 for 4 hours but we are somewhat flexible there too, especially if it is a steady booking.
Since we are a duo, we fit where other performers can’t, or places that don’t usually have live music. We usually play amplified acoustic with occasional electric guitar lead, but we are capable of playing just acoustically too. We can play quietly in the background, or get ‘em up dancing. We have played along with teenagers to teenagers of all ages, music makes everybody young.

Thanks for considering us,
Steve, and Greg

Just for S & G features over 350 songs on our song list, from all different kinds of music; Country, Rock, Folk, Pop, etc. We try to emphasize playing what the audience wants to hear vs. playing off a set list and we invite the audience to jam & sing along with us as we play the songs that we all know and love.
Steve plays 6 and 12 string guitars, harmonica & sings lead vocals. Greg plays guitar and banjo and mandolin and vocals. Just for S & G has our own sound system so we play bars & weddings & block parties, but we are small enough to play in your basement or coffee house as well. Because we are a duo, Just for S & G is a very cost effective form of live entertainment; live music at DJ prices! ($250 for four hours -Local-)Last minute inquires are welcome, but contact us as soon as possible so we can make accommodations. You make the parade - we'll bring the weather.

We are currently available for New Years Eve at $500 for the Evening

I'm looking for a lead vocalist that can play guitar for an acoustic duo. Mid-90's to current rock/alternative and some classic rock (Dave Matthews and Jack Johnson to Coldplay and Radiohead to John Cougar and Van Morrison). I have a PA and am looking to play wineries, coffeeshops, and restaurants.

Established 4-piece band looking to re-establish female vocalist part. Group consists of veteran players from around the St. Louis area, most with college level music training and all are lead vocalists. Instrumentation includes Guitar, Keys, Drums and Bass with doubles on Sax, Trombone and Flute. Music selection includes Motown, 70's & 80's Dance favorites. Great PA & Lighting Gear, Rehearsal space in South County and Digital 16-track in-house recording. A demo CD is "in-the-can" with open track(s) available to plug in a new vocal track, if familiar with the particular material. Auditions at band-jobs preferred, but can be arranged for a rehearsal night. Shared responsibility for running the group available, but not expected. All income is claimed and even cuts are the norm.

Some guitar players just want to play modes NOW- not devote years to studing music theory. After learning music theory to the point of playing modes, I soon realized that there is a way to explain how to play all these modes in every key simply by counting frets. I developed this Modes Method in 1986, and have been using this approach in my lead playing ever since. I can show you how to play this way in just minutes. It’s OK, I know that you do nott believe me--but I can prove it to you. Play in:

LOCRIAN
DORIAN
PHRYGIAN
AEOLIAN
IONIAN
LYDIAN and
MIXOLYDIAN

No theory, no TAB, no memorizing note names in countless scales! You do nott even have to read music notation. I show you how to move my PRIMARY scale down or up the neck by counting frets in order to play each mode in all twelve keys. Only ten dollars, and I pay the shipping. Do not ignore this valuable offer- you may not be able to find it again! I will send part of it to you. Works for guitar and electric bass. Circumvent music theory. Open up an enormous vista to your playing. Write me! Not a scam- I can prove this.

From Modes Method users:
I have only spent 1 hour working on the system so far and i can see how this will help me!!!....Thanks Again Randy

THANK YOU for getting me out of the box. THIS is a turning point moment for me. I ll keep in touch --Tony

Hey man I have it and I am putting it to use. Had one of my jam buddies play A and Am then ran the minor pentatonic scale and I see what you mean about “add two notes”. I feel confident this is going to help me. So Dan, here you have it, - you told me so. Thanks again, Ron

I am looking for a lead guitarist w/vocals, and preferably a bassist who can switch to guitar once in awhile that also has vocal ability for a 60's/classic rock dance/pop band, that I would like to take into originals.

Practice twice week until the band gets list together, and play at least three times a month, but maybe more if the money is there.

Bayless/I-55 area.

Thanks for your time
