Hello all! I hope you’re safe and well. Posting this again as we’ve made no headway with finding someone permanent so far.
We’re seeking someone well-versed with keys/synths/electronics to join our band. Genre is alternative/electronic rock with elements of new wave, post-rock, electro & alt-R&B. Someone with skills in production/composition and live sequencing would be ideal and if you have your own transport/gear, then that’s a definite bonus. We’re based in London and the surrounding areas. The project began in 2018 with all material written, recorded and produced by myself in various bedrooms with rubbish gear. We’re looking to expand and make it a more collaborative effort in developing the sound both on release and with performance. Regarding the latter, we’re big fans of how songs can be reinterpreted for live use which keeps it interesting.
Moving forward, we hope to demo ideas in home studios and take them in studio when they’re ready. We’d already begun rehearsing in East London for gigs in London for performance and aim to pick this up again on a weekly basis next month. We have an eclectic melting pot of influences with a specific vision for it and to take it as far as it can go. We’re very committed; although we want this to be a band and not a business; creativity and having fun with it are of the utmost importance. The band is currently myself (I’ll be heading up lead vocals, rhythm guitar and some FX live) a lead guitarist/backing vocalist and a drummer. We’re seeking someone who can play bass aswell but if it’s easier and possible, we can sequence bass lines electronically if possible. So far it’s myself on fronting/vox/guitar, less guitarist/backing vocalist and a live drummer.
