We are Mewn, an Art Rock band based in Manchester and we are seeking a new bassist.
Some of our main influences are: Timber Timbre, Arcade Fire, Father John Misty, Angel Olsen, Big Thief, Radiohead, The Smiths, David Bowie, Leonard Cohen, Scott Walker, Nina Simone.

We did a live video with Low Four that you can view here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vil_77fRbM8
We've done the bulk of the recording for our first album and we have been talking to some different labels about the release of this. We believe it's a big step up from what we've done in terms of both song writing and production although can't share anything from it yet.
A few of our highlights so far include numerous plays on 6 music, supporting the National at Warehouse project and playing at Blue Dot and Left of the Dial. We've got a few gigs booked in for the end of the year including Float Along festival in Sheffield.
We all work Monday to Friday and tend to practice on Friday evenings and Saturday from the afternoon until fairly late. We all have social lives and can enjoy a drink after practice and of course miss practices when people have other plans, but as we're all good friends and might have a drink at practice we see this as a great way to spend a weekend.
We also do hope to find someone who is really happy just playing bass. It's fine if someone plays other instruments and bass doesn't have to be your main instrument or first choice, we just need someone who can really get into that role and give it their all.
And we are very open to any person regardless of race, gender, sexuality, class or anything else like that!!
Drop us a message on Instagram if you can @mewnband (or on here if you don't have it). Please let us know a bit about yourself including your main influences x
