We have this band that’s just released an EP. it’s more of starting point than anything but through the journey of production we realised we wanted different things than our drummer and bass player who split amicably a few weeks ago. Not knocking anyone’s skills it just comes to down to compatibility and different ideas/directions, etc.
We’re not the next big thing, we’re looking to make creative tunes that get a response, we enjoy playing that are honest and interesting to listen to. We want to play live, in decent venues, once or twice a month – maybe there’s beer/petrol money, maybe not, ultimately it’s just for the want to be heard.
If you can play, are reliable, can bring some inspiration and ideally some improvisation then we’d love to hear from you. If you’re a laugh even more so!
This is a completely open collaboration, we want you to get involved, bring something to the table, make suggestions and call it as is it. Rip stuff to bits (in the right way) and build it back better, see what works, try stuff, bin stuff and work together to make tunes we each love. It’s not about the individual, it’s about the song. We’re not precious about that’s gone before, or where we go next – we just know this is the spirit in which we want to proceed.
If you’re bothered about age, we’re mid/late 30’s. Jobs, families, bills and all the real life stuff that music needs to fit around. But fit around it does, it must because it’s fun and basically because we love it. That’s why we don’t want to be messed around with the precious free time we do have – we’ll (probably) never headline Glasto but we’re committed to making something unique, interesting and good!
The EP is available on all streaming platforms ‘Flying Oceans – Circles’, here’s a few links to get you started…

So yeah – if you’re up for it give us a shout and lets have a jam next week or so. Probably somewhere around Stockport.
