By The Waves are looking for a drummer to bring psychedelic grooves and funky chops to our original sound. We're looking for a drummer who is skilled, experienced and reliable to complete our lineup and bring energy to our live performances as well as that extra spark to our songwriting.
About Us:
We're a dedicated and close-knit group of musicians based in and around Manchester/Stockport, blending dream-pop, psych, funk and indie-rock. We rehearse regularly, gig locally, and are currently working on new material. We have an appreciation for lots of types of music including 60/70’s rock, psych rock, folk rock through to metal and dream pop and jazz. We’d love to find somebody who shares our love of these.
We have been together for 2 years, having released 6 singles in that time. We have had extensive airplay through BBC Introducing, and played some really cool venues (including the Cavern).
What We're Looking For:
Solid timing and groove. Able to play to clicks/backing tracks.
Experience playing live and in the studio
Creativity to join in the writing process.
Own gear and transport.
Commitment to regular rehearsals and gigs
A collaborative attitude and love for music.
Bonus Points If You:
Have backing vocal ability
Are comfortable with improvisation
All of our socials/music can be found at linktr.ee/bythewavesband
If you're interested, drop us a message with a bit about yourself, any links to your playing, and availability. Let’s make some noise!
