If the House is A Knockin' Don't Bother Rockin' Come On In!

I had contact with a band based in Davenport who are looking for a drummer. Per an email thread I've been having, here is some info:

  • They have a fill-in drummer for our next gig
  • After that they will need a full time drummer for the band
  • They meet Sundays in Davenport at their Studio
  • They have a full PA Amps and Drums.
  • Most likely looking Feb 11th 3 pmish for our first time to get together.
  • If they play outside the QC they would be talking more money as it would need to cover gas.
  • The leader believes everyone would be down [to play other places] as the places they have been playing have been manly Davenport Iowa, Moline, and East Moline Illinois.

I asked for a setlist and this is what they are playing at their gig on Saturday, February 3, in Davenport.
