SEEKING
Bass Guitar, Drums, Other Percussion.ABOUT
We are a fairly new band, aiming to be a 4 or 5 piece. The 3 current members (drums, guitar, vocals) have been playing together for the last 8 months. Our ages are 46,45 and 20.
We went through a period of playing covers and then decided we want to write and play original songs. We have gone through a fair number of originals already and have played them live a few times at small jam nights.
At this moment, our mission is simply to get a set list of originals together and play them live locally.
We are looking for a new bass player, keyboards, drums and guitar, and also any other musicians who are interested in developing original material. We've worked out quite a good workflow and process for getting songs finished, and we get better at that all the time. Current technical ability in new members is not as important as a genuine passion for creating music and a desire to improve and challenge themselves.
We don't provide a set list of covers to practise, or anything like that, there is no audition or minimum technical level needed, it's just about attitude and genuine interest. We like to jam randomly and work on our own songs, that's it. We play covers sometimes for fun, and to help us get tighter, but we have no requirement people practise and a come and nail any particular cover song.
We play together at the Ellis Studios in Irvine every Friday (7-10 or later) and Wednesdays 7-10 if needed. Our minimum requirement for new member is that you can make this time, every week, that's really the only requirement apart from genuine interest in creating.

Influences
Rock, Psychedelic Rock, Indie, Britpop, Folk, Dance, Metal, many others. The 3 current members have different tastes and we find a happy middle ground that everyone likes.
Recently we've been playing these covers, to give you an idea of what we like at the moment
Talking Heads - Psycho Killer
Car Seat Headrest - 1937 State Park
Beatles - Come Together
Kate Bush - Running up that hill
Over the months we've been playing Nirvana, Bowie, REM, Blur, Oasis, Frank Ocean, The Clash, too many to remember, if one member loves a song we'll all give it go and see if we can make it sound good and fun to play.
