Audio Vultures are an agency function band based in Bristol and are looking for a new PERMANENT bass player with an immediate start, due to our current bass player moving away.
WHO ARE WE?
A professional, dedicated function band with our own rehearsal space (based in Portishead) that are signed onto multiple national agencies. We have wedding, corporate and private agency gigs booked throughout this year and enquiries going into next year, so were looking for someone to join right away so we can keep the ball rolling.
WHAT CAN WE OFFER YOU?
A share of all gig profits. Agency work is around the £800 per gig mark (full band fee).
A top quality band equipment package including 16 channel mixer, full PA system, lighting rig, smoke machines and laptop with soundcard set up with backing tracks.
A friendly and social atmosphere. We are all nice guys in our 20s and 30s who are approachable and without egos we are looking for the same!
* Our own rehearsal space, where we are not time limited.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
We are looking for a PERMANENT team player, someone who:
* Is punctual (consistently), and who communicates well (responds to texts, emails, etc, when pertaining to important band activity).
* Who feels they are sufficiently competent to learn approximately 30 songs, relatively quickly - spanning several genres (pop, rock, funk, etc). Full setlist is available on our website.
Would like to jump in; simply learn our current full set and start earning almost immediately! All the set lists decision, backing tracks prep, band organisation and more have already been sorted.
Is of a professional attitude. We require someone who has no other big commitments and has no other ongoing musical commitments.
Can gig frequently on weekends throughout the country, up to twice a weekend throughout any
month. Our gigs are within two hours travel of Bristol.
Has a high standard of musicianship, high quality equipment and a good stage presence, as well as being a fast learner, none of us want to be having to rehearse all the time.
Is as serious about our project as we are. We dont have time for those only interested in a temporary project!
Doesnt have an ego, or drug, alcohol, financial, political (etc) issues. Nobody has time for any of that!
* Has their own transport and bass gear. (For long distance gigs we rent a band van).
INTERESTED IN APPLYING?
Please be sure you have taken in all of the details above, so as to not waste our time or your own. We have a lot of fun whilst engaging in this musical endeavour, but feel we are able to due to our success and our thirst for continued success - we require somebody of a similar attitude.
Please reply and tell us a bit about yourself, such as:
Your location and age
Past musical experience
Why you are interested
What equipment you have (instrument, amp, pedals)
* How you have read and taken in the above, and how it pertains to you
Thanks and we look forward to hearing from you!
