Drums.ABOUT
Original, established band with small but resilient international fanbase and solid reputation earned over many years.
Rowdy, dark, aggressive rock & roll with main elements of psychobilly, punk, rockabilly, horrorpunk, garage punk, and blues. Think punk with a swing to it.
9 physical album discog. on small independents (+ downloadable releases on iTunes, Spotify and all major platforms).
International live track record (UK, Europe, N. America, Russia) with ever ongoing interest.
Pro-attitude played for fun: Amateur/Semi-pro. Works around the day jobs, weekend warriors type of stuff with the occasional small tour.
New material, recording and other projects always ongoing.
Music:
All originals. Style references without necesarily sounding like Motorhead, Rev. Horton Heat, The Cramps, The Meteors, The Misfits, Eighties Matchbox B-Line Disaster, The Monsters...
Would like to invite you onboard if you are:
A proficient, energetic bass player looking for 'your band'.
Serious about enjoying the music you play with a team mentality.
Reasonably outgoing and 'in-the-gang', up for hanging out for the odd celebration/party and up for a damn good laugh.
Willing to undertake all realistic gig offers great or small without cherry picking.
If you already play upright bass great, if not we have an instrument with basic pick-ups for you to learn on and play, we can teach the basics. The gear we have is suitable for live use but there is better gear out there.
Mission:
Learn an 18 song live setlist reasonably quickly from recordings to be fine-tuned at band rehearsals.
Be available to travel for live performances including some overnight stopovers (usually weekends).
Be a dependable, professional, honest and reliable teamplayer.
Enjoy what you do and enjoy being part of a very credible band.
Collaborate on new material. Songwriting/ideas welcome.
Accomodate non-local weekend rehearsals if necessary.
Travel abroad occassionally.
Take the good with the bad.
This is an opportunity to join a distinct and respected 'alternative' cult band with a worldwide fanbase and diverse appeal.
Whilst nothing is guaranteed it's reasonable to expect to play some decent gigs, some crappy but fun anyway gigs, travel a little and be respected within a small scene.
Pay: Bank on expenses paid and you won't be disappointed, but cash aside the rewards are great.
All considered, but seriously please no timewasters, bullsh*tters, egos or chancers please.
