Hi there,
My band-mate and I are seeking a Drummer, Guitarist, and (potentially) a Programmer/Synth Player to complete the lineup for our band. We play Alt Rock in a similar vein to Lower Than Atlantis, Don Broco and Biffy Clyro, but draw influences from multiple genres, including bands like Periphery and The 1975.
We've been gigging the Norfolk circuit for just over a year, and have one UK Tour under our belts. Unfortunately, however, we recently lost our drummer and one of our guitarists. Due to this, we've decided that if we're going to continue, we want to do it properly this time around. This includes consideration of finding management, recording professionally, and investing heavily in promo; music videos, PR Campaigns, heavy touring etc. This means we're looking for committed individuals that share our mindset of wanting to make music their career. Below I've written a short list of criteria for ideal candidates. If you feel like you'd fit the bill, or have any questions, PLEASE send me a private message, or add me or my band-mate on Facebook here:
Me - https://www.facebook.com/quinlan.barker
Bandmate - https://www.facebook.com/azza.lambert?fref=ts
We'd be more than happy to answer any questions anyone may have.
Here's hoping we find someone!
ESSENTIAL Criteria:
> 18+
> MUST have a stable income and be willing to invest heavily from the offset
> Have their own method of transport, or at least a guaranteed method of getting somewhere when they need to; lift, bus etc.
> Shared mindset of making the band a career.
> Have creative ideas and be willing to contribute to the writing process - demos of your work would be ideal, but aren't essential.
Preferred, but not essential, criteria:
> Knowledge of social media and willing to contribute to our various social media platforms.
> Knowledge of the music industry, and contacts both in and outside of the local area. We're always open to new ideas on the business side as well as the creative, so we'd love someone who is willing to give their input straight away.
> Knowledge of home recording and/or a home studio.
> Ability to program electronic/orchestral elements into songs.
> Experience of live shows.
> Well spoken online and in person for communication with promoters, booking agents, managers etc.
