Seronegative

Hey
We're a band based in Manchester, all in our late 20s who've just started gigging locally - we've played Atma and Night and Day so far. However, our drummer moved to Leeds and has decided he can't make the commitment. We're thinking of rebooting the sound a bit and of course we need a new drummer.
We were called Oni Sendai, but we're considering a name change, as whenever we say the band name people say "Only Senpai" and that's a bad look.
We have some demos, but it's of a style we're moving away from.

However, we have some demos we've personally recorded of the style we're moving towards

Our ongoing influences include:
- The Smiths
- The Clash
- The Pixies
- Modest Mouse
- Unknown Mortal Orchestra
- Tame Impala
- Queens of the Stone Age
- Radiohead
The plan is to do some proper recording and keep the gigs coming. Our current bassist is also a semi-professional film-maker (and producer actually) and we want to get some videos out there too.
So here's what we need. We obviously need a drummer, and that's our first priority so we can get gigging again. However, our bassist is a talented guitarist and synth player and we want to move him to a 2nd guitar position (and our vocalist will focus on singing). To accomplish that, we need a new bassist too.
Anyway, give us a shout if you're interested in trying a session with us to try it out- message me on here or on the seronegatives soundcloud, we rehearse in the city centre every week.
