We are a recently formed indie/rock/alt band rehearsing every other week in North London. We are all in our late 20s/early 30s and we all have full-time jobs so this is a side project **but an important one**. We are all music enthusiasts.
We are looking for a like-minded synth/keyboard player who can also do backing vocals. You don't need to be a virtuoso but someone who loves music and isn't shy about contributing to the creative process is a must. We are all friends and are doing this for fun so no problem if you don't take yourself too seriously!
The current line-up is:
- Frontman/lead vocalist
- Drummer (myself)
- lead guitar
- rhythm guitar
- Bassist
We are looking to build a repertoire of covers to define our sound before onto originals and getting our teeth into the local gigging scene within the next 6 months. All band members have prior band experience. Bassist & drummer have extensive live experience across a range of genres. Our influences include:
- Foals
- Maccabees
- Modest Mouse
- Bloc Party
- The National
- Kings of Leon
- Arcade Fire
- Arctic Monkeys
- Bombay Bicycle Club
- DIIV
- Elbow
- Queens of the Stone Age
- Interpol
- All the classic rock bands (Floyd/Fleetwood Mac/Led Zep/Dire Straits/Simple minds etc).
- Electronic Music (i.e Bonobo/Crazy P/bicep etc).
- War on Drugs
- Many more
We all have professional equipment (Gibson/taylor guitars, DW Drums, Fender bass) and I have a small recording set up in my flat in North London to put some tracks down.
We rehearse by Blackhorse Road in Walthamstow bi-weekly. Potentially moving up to weekly depending on band availability.
Please get in touch if this tickles your pickle and we can go from there!
