BASSIST WANTED - Established, energetic 3-piece originals
Well established originals band, playing Punk through to Heavy Rock with several releases, Looking for a Bassist and Backing vocalist to bring energy to the stage and a sense of fun, enthusiasm and commitment.
What we can offer:
- Plenty of stage time being a third of a band who want to show the world what they can do. With the pittance original "local" bands get at most gigs, it cetainly wont make you rich and perhaps wont even make the fuel money, but it will make you feel alive and part of something. If you NEED to play/sing original music then we're the band for you.
- Loads of contacts for gigs & festivals. Gigs are like busses, none then a bundle, but we're aiming for the content will be revealed after joining, it is hidden for privacy protection from bots a year, (not been that frequent since pre-covid). some are small and some are bigger festivals.
- Studio recording in a proffessional environment. get your musical legacy recorded for time immemorial (we run a band kitty for merch, practice and studio time etc.) Wink , plus occassional magazine interviews etc.
- Laughs, Fun & Friendship in and out of the band. Beers, gig-going or even a bit of outdoor activities if its your thing. its about comradeship.
What we're after:
-A Bassist with the ability to know less is sometimes more on rockier tunes, but also happy with walking basslines and filling the space in a 1 guitar band at other times.
-Backing vocals - Harmonies & alternative line swapping etc. With time and ability, some lead vocal songs could be a thing too if you'd want?
-An energetic Stage presence - Bring the rockstar out on stage. With the guitarist/vocalist stuck by his pedals, we're looking for someone who is confident in moving around on stage getting the crowd and band going and be full of energy (No ego's off stage though please Wink ).
-Ability to travel - We'd travel literally anywhere (fees dependant), but realistically most are London/the south/Midlands and hopefully a couple in south Wales. They occassionally require a 5 or 6pm weekday load in or a couple of hours travel, so some work flexibility would be a bonus, but can probably be worked around.
- Enthusiasm, commitment and a sense of proffessionalism no matter your previous experience. We are no longer teenage youths (ideally we're after an age range of 30's through to mid 50's, but if you're the right guy or girl it shouldn't matter).
We doubt we'll be the darlings of Kerrang! Radio, but we still put in as much now as when we were starting out and treat it like a job, but one we absoloutely love. It would be great if you wanted to help out hunting gigs, promoting the socials etc. Smile
- Regular practices. Our drummer is Cheltenham based so when we all have stuff to work on, practice would be generally be over at Pirate studios, Chelt., but for guitar and bass/Vocal work, it would be cool to be able to meet seperately, Ideally near the guitarist so Swindon/ Cirencester/Witney sort of area, have a cuppa and work bits out. Accounting for work/family/holidays we aim for a couple of hours weekly, or longer sessions if Drums are involved.
So...
..If after this Long winded post, it sounds like your thing, drop us a message Smile
We can send over the 3 latest tracks which are being finalised in the studio. We do have previous releases on Spotify/Apple, Youtube etc, but the new ones give a better sense of current direction as we are ever evolving. 😊
