Taller Than Stories seek a new drummer to complete three-piece. We play original music and our main influences are Muse, Jack White & Tom Waits. Our goal is to play Dark-Rock songs with lyrics that tell stories. We have taken the split signal technique used by Royal Blood to make a 2 piece band sound like a 3 piece, with the goal of making 3 musicians sound like 4. This is used in the Live Video link above. The two of us are Music Graduates, so sometimes we veer into slightly experimental territory, this includes varied time signatures, extended playing techniques (eBow bass guitar in Dreaming, artificial harmonics start of the demo) and unusually voiced guitar chords.
The ideal candidate is aged between 18 and 30, has their own equipment and is willing to play with a singer that wears a tail coat on stage. We can't offer you a fixed income, but we will split any money we do make equally. We are looking to gig around London as soon as we can. We have played at The Borderline, The Camden Barfly, Proud Camden and other venues in the past.
We have a new EP recorded with a lyric video on the way too, but we want to book some gigs before we release them. Our guitarist is from Lewisham and the bassist is from Ealing, so we'll likely meet to practice somewhere in the middle. We have got a lot of music online, but the songs that we're carrying forward are Choke, Dreaming & Little Johnny. Give those a listen if you want to hear what we do. These can be found on Spotify, Soundcloud, Band Camp and various other platforms.
If you're looking to have some fun playing original rock music, drop us a message. Please include a YouTube link or something similar of you playing if you can.
Thanks,
Taller Than Stories
