Essex-based original rock/blues-rock band looking for a creative, melodic bass player to complete the line-up.
We’re after someone who understands that the bass can add melody, movement and character while still locking in properly with the drums. Think Mani, Paul McCartney, Robert DeLeo, John Paul Jones and Duff McKagan—not necessarily someone who copies those players, but someone with that kind of musical instinct.
Our influences are varied and include Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Foo Fighters, U2, The Stone Roses and The Verve. The new material is developing into melodic, guitar-driven rock with elements of blues, alternative rock and grunge.
We were previously signed to A&M Entertainment in the US and are now dusting ourselves off and building things back up. The plan is to self-fund some studio recording in the new year, followed by gigs and festival opportunities if everything comes together as hoped.
We rehearse at White Rooms in Rainham, Essex. We’re all in our 40s and have lives and commitments outside the band, but we’re serious about making good music and moving things forward. This would probably suit someone at a similar stage of life, although the right personality and musical connection matter most.
We’re looking for someone reliable, creative and committed who wants to contribute to the songs and help shape the band—not simply turn up and play the root notes.
Backing vocals would be a bonus, but musical feel, personality and commitment are more important.
If this sounds like your sort of band, send us a little information about yourself, your influences and playing experience. A video or recording of you playing would be ideal. We can also share some of our music so you can hear what we’re about.
