Established Indie Rock Band Seeks Keyboardist

Portland OR

Description

Hi! My name's Cleo and my band is looking for keyboardist to join us and fill out our sound. Our current lineup has drums, bass, and two guitars. We're all 20-24 years old. We have a designated studio space we practice in at least once a week. I think we have a pretty unique sound that mixes elements of Indie Rock, Alt Folk, Post Punk, and Funk/R&B. Some of our musical influences (sans all of our Jazz inspirations) include Andrew Bird, Aztec Camera, Bauhaus, Big Thief, Bill Withers, Bright Eyes, Built to Spill, Crowded House, The Cure, Curtis Mayfield, Cymbals Eat Guitars, Deep Sea Diver, Deerhunter, Dr. Dog, Elliott Smith, Fugazi, Girl Band, Modest Mouse, Neutral Milk Hotel, Parliament, Pavement, Preoccupations (Viet Cong), Pretty Girls Make Graves, Protomartyr, Ride, Rogue Wave, The Shins, Sun Kil Moon, Television, Villagers, Wilco, XTC, and Yo La Tengo. I have chord sheets and recordings for a lot of the songs we're working on, so hopefully getting caught up will be a fairly simple and straightforward process. We're looking for someone who can put their own unique spin on the songs and be creative with their playing since this has a become a very collaborative project. Our ideal keys player would also be able to do some backup vocals, and it would be amazing if you also play a horn instrument (brass or woodwind) as we would like to incorporate a larger variety of sounds into our music. Here's a link to a bunch of demos: https://soundcloud.com/milpher/sets/demos/s-Zkzz1yOsO1v?utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Some of the songs have changed pretty dramatically (for the better I think), but hopefully they can give you a rough idea of what we're going for! Please feel free to reach out to me anytime if you're interested or have any questions! Thanks for reading :)
