Ambitious DRUMMER Wanted!
We are looking for a drummer (male/female) to join our melodic rock band who is passionate about music and shares our exceptional work ethic. This means we will rehearse multiple times per week and play live A LOT (!!!) - because we love it and are not afraid to dream big.
Major influences are: Pixies, Weezer & the Beach Boys; bands that have truly outstanding songs! Backing vocals and harmonies are highly appreciated and the goal is to develop beautiful 3- and 4-part-harmonies over time (you don't have to be an outstanding singer - we'll practice together a lot).
It would be ideal if you are between 18 and 30 years old. Your personality and work ethic is far more important than skills or experience. We will mainly play our own material plus some cover songs in order to learn from outstanding musicians (and for the joy of playing their compositions).
We have a very structured and goal-driven way of working which means that our songwriter brings his compositions to the band and we arrange and rehearse them together. We are NOT playing: Heavy metal, 2 hours jams, punk or prog-rock.
For some live shows, we might expand the band by a few guest musicians (e.g. strings / keys / brass), but only if the music benefits from it and if it really adds to the show. We are also very interested in collaborating with other artists, especially in film, design, fashion and dance. We have plenty of original material and are ready to start gigging on a larger scale immediately once the onboarding of the drummer is completed.
Before reaching out, please consider the level of commitment and dedication such an ambitious project demands. If music's what you really want to do and you're not afraid to put in the hours, this is the perfect project for you!
