Are you the missing link that can complete our exciting project?
We are WE KEEP THE CITY RUNNING and we are in the process of composing and rehearsing a set of songs that will form our first album. Raised from the ashes of the critically acclaimed Eaststrikewest - http://www.last.fm/music/eaststrikewest/+wiki - this is a one off opportunity to join a serious band at the foetal stage of it's development and become an integral member involved in the songwriting and creative process.
Our sound currently exists somewhere in the space of ambient post rock with some electronica leanings…

We are looking for someone to join us to help bring that sound out into something grander. The intention is to create a sound that exists somewhere in the space between the melodic post rock of Mogwai, ASIWYFA, This Will Destroy You and the minimal glitchy electronica of Boards of Canada, Four Tet and Gold Panda.
We are currently
Chris - vox / guitar / fx
James - guitar
Liam - guitar
Buddy - bass
Dan - drums
We are looking for a violinist to complete our line up.
We practice twice a week in an East London location, we have storage at the space for equipment to be left.
For further information or to apply contact Chris via email.

NOTE:
This is a serious project with serious ambition. Applicants need to be prepared to give up at least two nights a week to the project (plus gigs) and be prepared to get their hands dirty and become involved in the songwriting process. You will not be joining a fully formed band, so don't expect to be sent professional recordings, we are in the early stages crafting songs from sketches and you will be expected to become immersed in that process. The feint hearted and part time enthusiasts need not apply. No time wasters please... time is precious enough.
