Gigging band looking for cello or upright bass

New York City NY

Description

We're a LES trio of violin, guitar and drums in the vein of the White Stripes/Vampire Weekend, incorporating classical and jazz elements. We just played a couple NYC gigs in early August. We're looking for a cellist (or upright bass player with classical training) interested in playing scored arrangements alongside our classically trained violinist. Our music is influenced by indie, punk, rockabilly, pop, classical, jazz, blues, sometimes all within a single song. We have an album of material already written but would love to collaborate on the cello/bass arrangement or let you write the parts if you're interested in that. If you just want to play a part that's written for you, that's cool too. Here's a video of one of our rehearsals (starts loud fyi): https://youtu.be/XvDQndTmKh0 Here's an album of new material with lots of classical elements https://soundcloud.com/davidrauch/sets/classical-electro-heavy-pop And here's an album with more rock and roll inspired songs; https://rockpops.bandcamp.com/album/reverb-drenched-sunset-beach We're in our late 20s/mid 30s, have a mix of male and female band members, and are fully vaccinated. We've been in bands that have toured and played for hundreds of people around the country and internationally. This band plans on performing in NYC mostly.
