The Supremos are looking for a second guitarist to join our cover band focusing on emo, pop punk and the whole 00's rock/alt/punk scene.
About us: female vocals, guitar/bv, bass and drums, the core lineup has been together for a while and we have a set that's pretty much ready to go. We're 30's-40's and practice on weeknights in Washington or Gateshead. The aim is to be a gigging band soon, we won't be gigging every week but we do want to find regular pub gigs and maybe some functions too.
Current set includes Brand New, Taking Back Sunday, Blink 182, Paramore, MCR, Fall Out Boy, Funeral For A Friend, Avril Lavigne etc.
We're looking for: someone who plays to a good standard, has gig-ready gear, has their own transport and is comfortable transposing songs and working in different tunings (mostly going between Eb and Drop C#, and a couple of songs with a capo. We try to avoid retuning too many times in the set but there are songs that are transposed for convenience or to match the vocal so ideally you'll be comfortable with that).
You'll also need to have good feel for when to come to the forefront and when to hang back, throughout our set there's a mix of songs that are fun challenges requiring technical chops and showiness from both guitars, and other songs where the original is more straightforward or only has one guitar part so knowing when to add a little atmosphere or to not play is important. If you have live experience or want to get involved with backing vocals that's a bonus but not a requirement so please reach out regardless if you're bringing those to the table or not.
Most of all we want someone who's reliable, enthusiastic and will bring some energy when playing this kind of music. If that sounds like you then please reach out by DM with some detail about yourself and any examples of your playing.
Thanks for reading!
