We are The Maitree Express, a 6 piece band in need of brass players to join our friendly band! We are after Saxophone , Trumpet and Trombone players to create a new brass section for the band. We have struggled to find reliable and committed players over the last few years who have been unable to commit to our festival gigs, shows across the UK and tours abroad so Ideally we need players who can commit to a weekly rehersal and some weekend gigs and one or two tours abroad per year (we usually do a winter tour in around March to European ski resorts). We are really friendly people, dont take each other too seriously and enjoy making positive music.
A full bio and link to our music can be found on my website: https://www.mountainbass.co.uk/the-maitree-express and our bio below!
The Maitree Express, a Dub Fusion band from Bath/ Bristol, UK rapidly gaining a following for their unique soulful sound which draws inspiration from reggae, ska, jazz, hip hop and uplifting music guaranteed to get you dancing.
Since playing their first gig in June 2015, they’ve been the main support act for artists such as Macka B, The Dub Pistols, Jesse Royal, Channel one Sound, Laid Blak, Solo Banton, The Mouse Outfit, Jenna & The Gs, Republica, Smerins Anti-social club, Shanty, The Majestic, Shoot the Moon and many more showing testament to how well the band have been received.
The Maitree Express have been in high demand since launching. They've headlined gigs for Greenpeace and Oxfam as well as performing on the biggest UK events and festivals such as Boomtown fair, One Love, Sunrise Shindig and Nozstock as well as touring abroad.
Most recently the band had a break from their relentless gigging schedule to allow time to write new music, reform the band and record a hotly anticipated new album.
In the winter of 2020 the band have their 3rd winter tour lined up in the Pyrenees Mountains and aim to continue spreading their infectiously feel good music as far and wide as possible.
Thank you!
