Hello there, sausage, my name's Rain.

I'm a 26 year old enby musician with nearly a decade of experience making a living with it. I play guitar and sing.

Lucky enough to have a couple of managers working with me. I've got a bunch of original music released as a solo artist + more than an album's worth to be recorded. Recently moved to Manchester but developing a bit of a presence doing open mics around the city.

I'm ready to start booking shows up here at little venues like Night+Day or the Deaf Institute, and to work towards touring.

I'm looking for a Bassist and Drummer for sure, and preferably a second Guitarist. Some vocal ability would be ideal for harmonies (and maybe more, if you like! I'm open). 18+, 20s preferred but whatever! Bonus points for women, POC, and/or queer people, but open to all If you can drive I'll love you forever.

Not sure if this is a backing band situation or more than that, but I miss the camaraderie of being in a proper band, and I'm definitely looking for strong personalities. Let's jam and see what happens.

The music is difficult to describe, but the sound is jazzy and the tone is very punk, I write about how the world's falling apart. It's a teeny bit complex so maybe knowing a little theory would help you out but it's not necessary if you can pick it up and you've got the vibes.

Influences are all over the place, but think - Rex Orange County or The Beatles for the musical weirdness, Cavetown for the vibes, and something like Bo Burnham's Inside for the political tone, or Rage Against The Machine or something idk.

Message me and I'll send you some acoustic versions of my new stuff. I'd put a spotify link up here but I don't know if the stuff I've already made is the best reflection of what I'm making now.

Get in touch, I hope to meet you x
