**Rabid Bitch of the North - SEEK BASSIST + VOCALIST**
Rabid Bitch of the North is inspired by traditional heavy metal bands, particular the NWOBHM era, as well as more recent acts that are also influenced by this particular brand of metal. Our musical character and individuality is very important to us however, and we aim to be ourselves in a well-established musical genre. We bring our own unique take on the spirit of what has come before us. Some of the bands we are influenced by are Raven, Tyson Dog, Venom, Motorhead, Accept, Atomkraft, Tank, Death Wish, Merciful Fate, Grave Digger, Judas Priest, Living Death, Artillery, Kruiz, Turbo and many more heavy metal and thrash metal bands.
Following recent departures from the band, we are seeking to recruit a singer/bass player or a separate singer and separate bass player. Traditionally we are a 3 piece with the bass and vocal duties being carried out by one individual but that is not a necessity and we will happily look at auditioning a singer and bassist separately. We are looking for applicants over the age of 18 and he or she must have the following attributes:
- Must have own equipment of sufficient standard for touring and playing live
- Ideally have own transport, access to a vehicle and a clean driving licence
- Ideally be based in Northern Ireland and be prepared to travel for practice / band meetings, etc.
- Must be prepared to play live and tour. Ideally having experience of both from previous bands.
- Must be prepared to contribute to certain band costs and expenses
- Ideally have previous recording experience.
The majority of the music for our 2nd album “Heavy Metal Rabies” is written so ideally the successful candidate for the vocal position should be able to contribute lyrics / vocal melodies for the new tracks. We have management and label representation in the form of The Distortion Project. There are touring opportunities in the UK and Europe for the band once things return to normal so a valid, up to date passport is essential as well.
Interested applicants for bass / vocals please either message the page or e-mail the_distortion_project@hotmail.com, stating the position you are interested in, your previous experience in bands (if any) and how you meet the above criteria.
