Piano, Keyboard, Vocalist - Tenor, Vocalist.ABOUT
Spiral Compass is a London based band who have become recognised for their musical diversity. Essentially a rock band, the members have made a point of not limiting their creativity with stylistic walls and stifling genre sterotypes, including anything from samba to metal in their style cocktail. We occasionally like to include some covers in our performances, mainly because it's fun and also helps to fill up a set.
Our sound is still developing but our style is made up of 3 main ingredients:
1. Groove
2. Stylistic diversity
3. Progressive
We re looking for KEYBOARD PLAYER. Someone who has a jazzy background, who can improvise and understands harmony and is open to different genres. BVs would be an amazing bonus too.
We're also looking for a LEAD VOCALIST (male). The best way I can describe what I hear in my head is a "soulful rock singer". Some names that spring to mind are Jon Bon Jovi (Bon Jovi), , Richie Sambora (Bon Jovi), Eric Martin (Mr Big), Donnie Hathaway, Adam Levine (Maroon 5) and Peter Gabriel.
With both keyboard player and singer, they would also need to be reliable. I'm sure we've all worked with unreliable people who pull out of gigs/rehearsals at the last minute, or don't learn the material at home and constantly make excuses, etc. We are looking for someone who enjoys music and is loyal to their bandmates.

iDream (live)
iDream (live) Year: 2009 Genre: Alternative
This was recorded at a festival we played at in the summer of 2009. Please forgive the low vocals and keyboards. They weren't very loud in my monitors so weren't picked up very well by the recording device.

Georgy Porgy (rehearsal)
Georgy Porgy (rehearsal) Year: 209 Genre: Funk
This is a cover of song by Toto. You may be familiar with the version by Eric Benet. I've labelled this one "funk" although our version is more rock with a funky twist.

Gremlins (rehearsal)
Gremlins (rehearsal) Year: 2008 Genre: Alternative
This was taken from a rehearsal in 2008. The recording quality isn't great but it gives an idea of our style. The bass solo is actually supposed to be a keyboard solo too. Can any of you keyboard players think of any good keyboard ideas to add to this song as well as a cool solo?

Message In A Bottle (rehearsal)
Message In A Bottle (rehearsal) Year: 2009 Genre: Other
Yes, it's that song by The Police. Although you've probably noticed how we've re-done it in our own way incorporating drum n bass but without having to program any drum loops.
