Hi all. The Archetypes will be playing again at this year’s EHRCON and the current band members - @johnmeredith, @Jaime @xabiermichelena and @SevKohler - need some instruments. We’ll be able to source most of the technical equipment (PAs, cables, mics etc) from the venue itself, but if you’re a Netherlands local, and you have the means to provide a guitar, keyboard, drum kit… drop me a line here and we’ll tick it off the list.  
Don’t forget also that The Archetypes is more of a co-operative, super-group of travelling highwaymen and women, so if you’d like to join them to play or sing, you’re more than welcome. 🧑‍🎤  
And if you haven’t yet booked your EHRCON26 ticket… [https://www.tickettailor.com/events/openehrinternational/2178011](https://www.tickettailor.com/events/openehrinternational/2178011)

Lol. Now I really do have FOMO by not attending this year. ☹

Is there a musician out there who plays Argentine Tango music? That would be fun for us dance fanatics. We love jive as well, of course.😁🕺🏼💃

Definitely, but doubt we could quite match this vibe!! Tango is a magical dance for all ages, though.

Here (in tune 3 of the 5) is a guitar version of Por Una Cabeza. Best played a bit slower with your own musical interpretation – less robotic!

Quick update. The venue has:

- Amps (2 guitar, 1 bass)
- Microphones X3 (at a price)
- Mic stands included
- Cables etc included
- PAs for voice & keys included

which means we still need:

- Drumkit
- Keyboard
- Keyboard stand
- Guitar x2
- Bass guitar

So - just the actual musical instruments then. 😬

Don’t panic, there’s a place in Amsterdam that rents them out, but in the meantime, if you’re a Netherlands local and you can bring that electric guitar that you bought on a whim on ebay during the pandemic… drop me a line. 🤘

**Newsflash!**

 ![grok-image-62a42c57-a5aa-4360-a824-8f1e26b854d0](https://discourse.openehr.org/uploads/default/original/2X/5/59fa0f9efd46b8f2ec751fe27721790886e8797e.jpeg)\*\*  
\*\*  
Owing to creative differences\*, The Archetypes currently **do not** have a drummer!

We’re looking for someone who is (moderately) talented, (reasonably) committed and comfortable playing an odd mix of rock, soft rock, hard rock and Dolly Parton tunes, with a good sense of timing - obviously - and the ability to play to the song rather than just show off.  
Rehearsals - well, sort of. But we will have a dodgy old drumkit you can use. So that’s something.  
Experience is preferred, but attitude is more important. Ridicule is nothing to be scared of.

**In all seriousness, if you’re interested, drop us a line. We need you!**

\*this isn’t true. He’s just busy.
