Seeking Bass Guitarist for new Shoegaze/ Dream Pop Band

New York City NY

Description

We are a new dream pop/shoegaze/indie band looking for a bass guitarist. Currently we consist of guitar/vocals and keyboards/guitar - we do not have a drummer and are using programmed drum backing tracks to keep our footprint manageable and consistent. We're both in our 20s and would prefer you be too, though early 30s is okay. We are both male-identifying and are open to folks of any gender. Genre: Shoegaze, Dream Pop, Indie, Alternative Rock, Influences: Slowdive, The Cure, My Bloody Valentine, Joy Division, New Order, Dinosaur Jr., Wild Nothing, Sonic Youth, DIIV, Cocteau Twins We have rough demos for our first EP of five tracks recorded, linked below. We will be re-recording these songs this summer and anticipate releasing the EP in autumn and supporting it with live performances. https://soundcloud.com/halationband/sets/effigy-ep-demos Any experience level is welcome, as long as you can play your instrument tastefully and consistently. We're not pro-level nor expect the band to financially support us. It's a passion project. We rehearse weekly in Astoria (currently Sunday afternoons) at my apartment - note that I have a cat. We run everything into a mixer and out to headphones, so you'll need to be amp-less/DI. We have a cheap bass guitar at our rehearsal spot you can use if you don't want to bring yours every time.
