MUSICIANS NEEDED FOR FEMME GRUNGE PROG HARD ROCK BAND
I am looking for femme folk to start a new performing/recording and eventually touring band.
I am a singer/songwriter based in South West London. I love that gritty sound, messing around with time signatures, I love a meaty riff, I love music that is raw, honest and powerful.
I am not just looking for bandmates, I am on the hunt. I mean business and I will be taking my time to find the right people. I want bandmates who want to get their hands dirty in all aspects of being in a band. Yes, the music will come first (I mean what else are we all here for?) but I want people who get hyped booking gigs, helping with the demon that is social media, sorting out merch, loading and unloading gear etc.
Here are some (but in no way close to all of the) influences: PJ Harvey, Tool, Portishead, Deftones, System of a Down, Garbage, The Kills, Nirvana, Incubus, Smashing Pumpkins, Melissa Auf Der Maur, Brody Dalle, Queens of the Stonage, Skunk Anansie, LITE.
I am looking for a drummer, bassist and lead guitarist who can sometimes swap and play some rhythm guitar. Ideally you would be up for doing some backing vocals too. Initially I would start with minimum practice of once a week, amping it up to a minimum of 2-3 depending on how often we end up gigging. I am based in greater London but I am willing to travel so please ignore that map on the other side of the screen!
I write originals. Covers once in a blue moon but originals is my game.
If you drive it is a bonus…but I don’t drive so I can’t judge!
YOU MUST HAVE YOUR OWN GEAR!
Ideal age range 25-35.
If any of this sounds like your bag, please get in touch.
P.S I am brown and a part of the lgbtqi+ family. If this puts you off, I advise you to go sit with those feelings and have a think about why.
