Bristol based upcoming and driven alternative/indie band with dream pop and electronic influences looking for a dedicated drummer aged 20-25 to join us as a full time member.
We are currently a trio made up of lead vocals & guitar, keys and bass, using a session drummer for live shows. We are all university music graduates with a strong focus on aesthetic, branding and an understanding of the music industry. We've been a band for around 2 years and have released two singles with airplay and a live session on BBC Introducing in the West. We have played venues in London, Cheltenham, Oxford, Bath, Swindon, Cornwall and Bristol - including 2 headline shows at Mr Wolfs and a support slot at a sold out Colston Hall show. We have an upcoming April tour so availability is essential.
We're into lots of different genres but take inspiration from bands like Foals, The Neighbourhood, Glass Animals, Tame Impala and Beach House as well as artists such as Tom Misch and Daniel Caesar.
Requirements:
- Own full kit
- Be an experienced live player
- Be able to play live to a click track through in-ears
- Be able to play with an SPD (we'll provide it) in addition to full kit
- Be available for regular rehearsals in Bristol
- Be flexible for runs of gigs around the UK
- Be dedicated to playing gigs and other band duties as required
- MUST be able to have a laugh, we do this because we love it, besides wanting a career from it!
Preferred:
- We are looking for someone who enjoys performing live and engages with the audience and other band members
- Shared musical tastes! We listen to lots of different genres and we draw on this when writing
- Our live set up is very tech-y so someone who has an interest or knowledge in this would be appreciated!
Own transport isn't necessary as we own a van big enough for all band members & equipment.
If you're interested and tick all the requirements, we'd love to hear from you and will send you across links to our content.
Thanks,
Matt (Bass)
