Hi
It is with a heavy heart we are saying goodbye to our existing bassist due to a change in his personal circumstances. So we are now lon the search a replacement. Our current bassist will be playing with us until we have found this person and they are ready to take over.
We are a 5 piece rock covers band. We cover a wide variety of songs all done with energy and a rock feel. We've got a range of songs from lots of crowd pleasers to slightly heavier stuff to suit certain venues but the absolute priority is to entertain.
What we're looking for (please read this carefully)
= somebody who is going to be easy going in every sense but also in that we need you to be happy to learn and play our 40+ songs. We appreciate you won't like them all but when your up to speed, we can begin to incorporate your ideas.
=leave the ego at the door. Honestly it's boring, tedious and we don't want it. We want a normal man or woman, whether your 18 or 80, just as long as your not a pain in the arse. At present we get on well and have fun and it's important we keep it that way.
=no deps please. We want an actual band member. Somebody who cares about the band. If your just interested in filling up your gig diary and not interested in the success of the band the respectfully I'd say we're not for you. We want you to care, be a part of the band, it's running, promotion, success etc.
=you need to help get gigs. This is a group effort and nobody can be a passenger in it. We aim to gig at least once, but mainly twice a month. We're all busy family men so this ratio seems to work well for us. Gigging has to be fun, not a chore.
= have transport and good gear. A drop pedal will be a must too for certain songs.
=be able to fill the songs and drive them along. We like the bass to be well heard.
=be a friendly, fun, easy going NORMAL man or lady
Lastly, this is an important one. We want somebody who isn't in loads of other bands. People always promise other projects won't affect their commitment and without fail 100% of the time it does become an issue.
We're a good sounding band that know what there doing. There's a space now for somebody new to be part of that and make it their own. We look forward to meeting you.
Many thanks for reading
