Hi everyone,
I'm a solo recording artist who has a project called 31Ø8. My music's a mix of American alt-rock, punk and synth-pop. Bands such as Velvet Underground, Ramones, Suicide, Jesus And Mary Chain are all influences. Essentially, I'm a disciple of punk and underground rock from the 1960s onwards.
I've released three albums since 2014 through various independent labels in the USA and Poland (Trouble In Mind Records, Jigsaw Records, Dreamland Syndicate). My songs have been played on BBC 6 Music by DJs such as Steve Lamacq, Gideon Coe and Stuart Maconie. I've also had international airplay on college stations such as WFMU and KEXP.
I believe my songs have the potential to be enjoyed by many, but that'll only happen if they can be played live. As such I'm looking for a committed, fast-learning bassist to join the ranks.
I already work with a talented, eager drummer who's learnt the majority of my songs. We will start gigging IMMEDIATELY when a bassist is secured. We have offers to play The Shacklewell Arms (Dalston) and The Ivy House (Nunhead).
This isn't a paid, session-type position. I work as a delivery driver and only occasionally make a few pounds from music. This can only work if you genuinely like 31Ø8 and want to be involved in bringing it to life and making it happen.
I'm not looking to write new material as a band. Not in the foreseeable future anyway. I have lots of finished songs ready to go. My objective here and now is to find good, dependable musicians and to play live and play well.
I do see this as a joint, collective effort regardless of the fact I've recorded the music. Without collaborators, 31Ø8 can't find an audience.
