Originals band looking for bassist and synth player
Vocalist/guitarist (me) and drummer (Emiliano) are looking for a bassist and synth player for our originals band.
We have a full LP’s worth of songs already devised and some initial demos recorded. Stylistically they are in the realm of alternative/post-punk (early Editors/Joy Division/Interpol etc.) but with additional electronic elements. The closest reference to our sound is perhaps White Lies’ To Lose My Life album.
At the moment we have recorded bass and synth parts that play as backing tracks. We would love to swap these out for actual humans who can come in and make these parts better, as well as helping to shape the overall sound.
Our ethos is that the songs come first and everything we play should support that. If you don’t think one of our parts is working then we want and expect you to challenge us, and in turn please be prepared for us to challenge you as well.
We have careers outside of music so are unlikely to drop everything and go on tour any time soon, but we do treat this as a professional venture in terms of our focus and commitment. It is imperative that our bandmates also share that same work ethic.
We rehearse at Arch Studios, Chiswick, over a four day period once every month (Thurs/Fri 18:the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots:00 & Sat/Sun 11:the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots:00) and in between those rehearsals we work remotely on writing, recording and sharing ideas with each other. This means that we always have plenty to work on when we get together in the rehearsal room.
Age-wise this would probably most suit someone in their 30s/40s but we’re happy to work with people outside of that range if they were the right fit for the project. It goes without saying that all genders/races/nationalities/sexualities are welcomed, and we very much encourage applications from any underrepresented groups within the industry.
If this sounds interesting then please get in touch, we’d love to share our demos and find out some more about you.
