Hey, we are a Alternative Rock 4 piece band called Amaryllis. We require a male Rhythm Guitarist aged between 17-21 to complete the line-up. We come from all over; London, Dagenham, Surrey and Northampton. But as we are all dedicated we are willing to travel and make the commitment to the band . We will be practicing in Enterprise Studios, which is just outside Tottenham Court Road Studios, on Saturdays or Sundays y as the rehearsal place is cheaper. You can check out where it is, how much you have to contribute that day etc at the site; www.enterprisestudios.com
We wanna have some fun, as well as taking it seriously as we would really like to make something out of it. We have had previous band experience and I also write my own lyrics. We've got plenty of energy so getting the crowd involved and movement on stage when we gig is not a problem. We know a lot of people with contacts to venues and studios so that’s also a bonus as we can gig at big venues sooner. These are a list of our up and coming gig dates;
O2 Islington Academy - 28th November - DONE
Scruffy Murphy's, Birmingham - 29th November - DONE
Monto Water Rats, London - 19th December - DONE
Camden Rock, London - 24th January -2013
The Garage, London - 27th January - 2013 - Supoorting We Are Lost Boys + Anavae - Mentioned in Kerrang Magazine!
MORE GIGS AND OTHER INFO TO BE LISTED AND BOOKED SOON!
We practice a cover by Young Guns- Dearly Departed so that we warmed up before creating new material but will be including it in our set list untill we decide not to otherwise. We already have plenty of our own material completed and will soon be hitting the studio to record our debut EP in January.
Our Influences range from You me at six, paramore, a day to remember, all time low, Deaf Havana, lower than Atlantis, lostphrophets, sleeping with sirens, asking alexandria, we came as romans, new found glory, young guns, Saosin, mayday parade, adelaide, Kid in glass houses, we are the in crowd and loads more. As you can see our range in music varies a little but the kind sound We really really want to have is fairly post-hardcore riffs and breakdowns on occasion peppering the verses and links and the main parts of the song with soaring catchy pop punk choruses and bridges. Bands like you me at six, paramore, lostprophets, twin atlantic, young guns and Lower Than Atlantis etc. We have already been creating new stuff and work very, very well together.
We love music and the idea of creating songs, playing gigs in different city's every night with friends creating the same buzz our favourite bands give us is basically what We wanna do.
As a member of this band it would be ideal for you to be up for a laugh, BE ABLE TO BRING PEOPLE TO SHOWS, fun but mostly bringing something different and creative to the band. For anything to become successful you have to work at it even if that means practicing more than once a week. In this case, we don't want people that will complain about travel or times of practice. We're looking for someone who's into the same music, bands and influences as We mentioned in the add. Good listening skills and willing to take on both criticism and positive advise and contribute ideas. Someone who also writes their own material similar to these bands and influences. If you've got those traits then message me back ASAP. We want someone who is full of energy both on the stage and in the process of creating new songs not someone who will just stand there and play the songs with a face like a slapped arse so If you’re not willing to work for it and have fun then just click back to your index page and keep looking.
If you would like any voice recordings, please reply back with your email and I'll send you one.

P.S. PLEASE DON'T REPLY IF YOU’RE NOT INTO THE SAME INFLUENCES AND JUST WANNA TRY IT OUT. THIS IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT! I ACTUALLY WANT TO MAKE SOMETHING OUT OF THIS AND WANT PEOPLE WHO ARE JUST AS INTERESTED AND READY TO WRITE STUFF THAT HAS THE SOUND WE ARE LOOKING FOR.
