We are on the look out for a guitarist to join our band South Social. This is an exciting time for us with alot of gigs in the pipeline, the realease of our debut live EP and we are just about to record an EP at the beginning of May. We are also hoping to do some festivals in the summer and more gigs so we need someone who is able to commit. The reception for us has been really positive and we have had great feedback from the audience with several venues asking us to come back and headline.

About the music
We are a 5 piece (vocals/Ukele, guitarist x 2, bassist and drums) putting together original catchy tunes centred around catchy lyrics. I began writing my songs on a Ukele in the middle of the lock down capturing my thoughts and feelings in my lyrics and songs: The breakdown of a relationship, fetishisation and microaggressions received from men, the one night stands you want to remember (not the one's you want to forget) and your partners ex who keeps popping up and liking their Instagram posts are just a few subjects to name a few.
About the band
We are all in our 30s but have alot of fun at rehearsals cause we all get along super well. I am really keen to get someone in who can keep the nice chilled vibes going. It's really important for us to keep the dynamic.
Influences
Inspired by noughties rock and soulful pop, bringing the influential sounds of Bloc Party, Red Hot Chilli Peppers, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Amy Winehouse and Alabama Shakes with relatable and nostalgic moments that will get stuck in your head forever.
Your commitment
As guitarist you will alternate between lead and rhythm. Although I write all the songs, the whole band are part of bringing the songs to life. We are all full-time workers but dedicate one 4 hour rehearsal every 1-2 weeks. More when we have alot of gigs happening. We are based in South East London and rehearse at superunison studios in Peckham. Or sometimes pirate studio in Croydon when we need to so you need to be able to travel to both. Rehearsals take place in the week. We also share payment for rehearsals between whoever is rehearsing on that day.
If this sounds of interest to give send me a message and a link to a few videos of you playing fo us to gauge whether its thr right fit. Happy to jump on the phone for a chat.
Auditions happening in Brockley this Wednesday 15th May.
