I'm Bee (they/them) I front a band called Lynskey
we've been a two piece band for about 6 years and we're thinking it's about time we add other members to the live band so we can perform more complex, intricate music, and improve the overall stage show and sound
previously I would play a modified guitar (that has a bass signal) and switch to keys when needed while also singing, which is a lot to do and practise regularly
moving forward I would like to just sing on stage, be a mobile, engaging front person, and behind the scenes focus on our socials, bookings, production, and writing
the other half of the band is my cousin (Saul) a phenomenal drummer and writing partner
we have 3 EPs released, an album in development, consistent gig offers, and we're signed to a local label
what we need (in order of priority):
a bassist
a guitarist
keys/synth/EDM/electronic sounds person (maybe)
(if you can sing backing vocals as well, that's a big bonus)
we are not looking for writing partners, we are not looking for people to come in and change the sound of the band
we're looking for people to learn the tracks, play them well, and be sound to hang out with during practises
with that said, if you're in other bands, that's great! if you do other things in the scene, that's great! we are also in other bands and do other things
you will have tabs, videos, lyrics, and either a demo or fully recorded songs to refer to so that learning the current setlist is quick and easy
for new songs you will have the same learning material but may be asked during practises to take direction if we're messing with the structure or tone of the track
we practise at Vulcan in Liverpool once a month because Saul lives near Manchester and i live on the Wirral
we can't increase how much we practise together, so practicing your parts at home in between is paramount
we're aiming to do auditions (which are mainly just vibe checks tbh) in January 2026 as we have bookings for March and April coming in
our most recent EP is the best example of our current sound and can be found here: https://lynskey.ffm.to/herethisisforyou
if this all sounds good and you'd be down to join the live band, chuck us a DM here, DM on instagram ( @lynskeyband ) or email lynskeyband@gmail.com
