Hello!
We are a hard rock band called "MEKANIZM.", based around South London and Surrey. We have a lead guitarist, rhythm guitarist, drummer and keyboardist - so we are just looking for a bassist now (we are trying out a singer in mid August and she is almost part of the band now so by the time you are actually in MEKANIZM if you do succeed in the audition, she will probably be with us too).
As stated in the title of the ad, we are looking for a bassist between the ages of 14 and 16. Anyone outside of this age range is unlikely to be selected. Generally, we want someone in Year 10 or Year 11.
We are an originals band, however we are beginning with cover songs. That being said, we have started the writing process for what is now 3 songs but we will talk to the bassist selected from the auditions about those. At this stage (auditioning), just worry about the cover songs.
We are doing covers by the following bands:
- Avenged Sevenfold
- Audioslave
- Foo Fighters
- Guns N Roses
- Metallica
- Muse
- My Chemical Romance
- Nirvana
- Soundgarden
- Velvet Revolver
so we would recommend that if you are not into that kind of music, you probably should not audition since our original music will probably be heavily influenced and inspired by those bands.
If auditioning, please learn the following songs:
- Black Hole Sun (Soundgarden)
- Hyper Music (Muse)
- Sucker Train Blues (Velvet Revolver)
- The Pretender (Foo Fighters)
- Welcome To The Jungle (Guns N Roses)
These will be the ones that we will judge you on. We will be playing Monkey Wrench as a group too for our own benefit and you may take part if you wish but it will not count towards the selection process.
The auditions will be audio recorded.
If you do decide that you would like to audition as our bassist, please message us with your name, age, the area in which you live (so we can find the most convenient place to audition you) and any questions you have about MEKANIZM., the audition, or anything related.
- Josh, lead guitarist of MEKANIZM.
