Emersis are looking for a bassist!
We play straight up heavy metal, no other way to describe it. Influences include Metallica, Judas Priest, Black Label Society, Killswitch, Machine Head and many many more.
We’re all around 30 with day jobs, but have been gigging and writing for the last 2 years with our current line-up. Unfortunately we had to part ways with our bass player last month so we’re looking for a replacement.
We practice once a week in the Brighton area (and are all based there too). We spend time writing together as well as individually outside of the practice room. We've just about finished recording our first EP, so we're looking for a bassist to join us for live shows and to contribute to writing future material.
We’ve already got headliner summer gigs booked up!
Here is a list of some desirable qualities we'd like in a bassist:
- Is available for practise every Wednesday evening.
- Someone who takes music seriously. (We’re not seeking huge success but we all see our band as more than a hobby)
- Comfortable playing fast tempos in drop tunings.
- Has experience with live playing/gigging.
- Is able to write riffs and contribute ideas for song writing.
- Knows that pounding a route note is sometimes more effective than “widdling”
- Transport and good quality equipment is a must.
The most important thing is that you're into the music and we get along! If you like beer then you’re 80% there!!
If any of this sounds appealing to you, get in touch and I'll send a copy of our EP over and we can chat. In the mean time there are plenty of live videos on our facebook page.
Thanks for reading!
