Seeking Bass for space rock/psychedelic blues rock

Santa Cruz CA

Description

Guitarist & drummer for ‘Seaward Dream’ are looking to add a bassist to our space rock/psychedelic blues rock band. We play originals based loosely on new bands such as Duneeater, Scorpion Child, Swan Valley Heights, Yawning Man, Sleeping Giant, Mantra Machine. We are both in our 60’s, fun and easy going, and don’t play the usual overdone classic rock or top-40 oldies covers. We do however mix in a few psych classics from Hendrix, Trower, King Crimson, Beatles, Sabbath, etc. -but modernized with more psychedelic flavors and modern textures. If you would imagine a tonality akin to David Gilmore but with complex trippy, psychedelic, spacey textures ala Trower, Mahogany Rush, or Hendrix plus Bill Bruford style drumming - that would be how we like to play. Our guitarist likes to incorporate echo, delay, chorus, reverb, etc. - but not so much the heavily distorted fuzz box sound. Our drummer has many years of experience as well. We have about 20 tunes in our wishlist that we’re working on, not as covers but mostly for inspiration. It would probably take us about 2 months of weekend rehearsals and then we'd be ready to play out. Here is a link to our very first ‘jam session’ recorded with a cellphone to give you a rough idea of our sound so far without a bass player. Of course its not polished or ‘pro’ level, just samples from our very first jam. We usually rehearse weekend afternoons. https://seaward-dream.bandcamp.com
