Hello Hello
We're a friendly sound group of lads based in the North East (we rehearse in Nemix Studios opposite the Discovery Museum in Newcastle). Currently we have two guitars, a keyboard player, and a drummer and we're between the ages of 25 and 30. Ideally we are looking for a bass player who is within that age bracket.
Kicking things off in January, we're all committed to rehearsing one evening every week. We've made a start on some original songs but it's been difficult to bring the songs together without a bassist. Over the next year, we're all keen on working together to make an EP or album that has a bit of a narrative to it (think Dark Side Of The Moon meets OK Computer). We also want to be in a confident position to play a gig in Newcastle by June-July time. Everyone in the group has past gig experience.
Some of our favourite music includes Muse, Radiohead, Pink Floyd, The Beatles, The Cure, Tame Impala, Foals, Arctic Monkeys. If you like any of these groups then we'll probably hit it off.
Ideally we're looking for someone who is a competent and experienced bassist, someone that is motivated and can commit to weekly rehearsals, and someone who is roughly the same age as the rest of the group. It also would be fantastic if you have a decent grasp on some music theory because we're making music with key changes and different time signatures and quite a lot of different chord changes and scales.
Other than all that nerdy sh*t, we like to go for a drink before or after rehearsal. They do a good pub quiz near the Town Wall on Monday night.

Thanks,
