Bass Player Needed for Melodic Alt-Rock Band
Calling all bass players!!!
Melodic alt-rock (originals) band The Fiery Lights are looking for a new bassist.
We formed late 2023. Debut album released last year. New single out Feb '25, with more releases planned for this year. Played locally at venues like The Forum, The Grey Lady and Local & Live festival.
Looking for someone with the time to commit to rehearsing once a week, recording and gigging reasonably regularly (once every 6-8 weeks ideally, but it varies).
Backing vocals would be a huge plus, but not essential.
Gender not important, but age range... ideally somewhere in the the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots region.
We have our own rehearsal space in Tunbridge Wells with a full PA, so no cost for rehearsing other than each of us occasionally restocking the fridge with cold drinks
Influences - anything and everything from straight up alt-rock (Pixies, REM, Okkervil River, 90s grunge) to more electronic-influenced stuff (Pale Blue Eyes, The War On Drugs, Future Islands, 80s synth-pop), folk-rock (Counting Crows, Bright Eyes, Josh Ritter) to classic rock, 80s and 90s indie & shoegaze, some blues, some hip hop.
We've started using loops, samples and synths in our shows to complement the live band. Potentially will be looking for a 4th member at some point for keys / guitar / multi-instrumentalist duties, but for now the bass player role is absolutely the priority to fill.
We're a friendly bunch - we have a lot of fun, taking making music pretty seriously, if that makes sense!
So - if you're looking for a new project, with the possibility of playing some great venues and festivals, releasing new, original music and having a lot of fun along the way, give us a shout. You can check out some of our stuff using the following links...
