Instrumental Post-Rock band seeking 2nd guitarist 🎸

Portland OR

Description

Greetings Guitarists of the Portland Metro Area, We're an instrumental post-rock band (drums, bass, guitars) with a three EPs/albums recorded/released. Sadly, we are losing our second guitarist who is moving out of the country who joined us about three years ago. Unfortunately, they can't play shows with us from Europe! Given this, we're starting the hunt for a delightful guitarist/multi-instrumentalist to join the band. You can listen to our first three releases via: * Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/2hdPrlDzLhhuwSnRioIdqh * Remnants https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LARDEySv69Y (our full length--we pressed this on vinyl just before COVID hit) * Virga https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSp7RLLZC5E (we recorded this during COVID as an ambient experience...we want to do more of this) * More on Bandcamp: https://mightymissoula.bandcamp.com/ Influences range from Godspeed! You Black Emperor, Mono, Mogwai, Sigur Ros, This Will Destroy You, Explosions in the Sky, Caspian, Modest Mouse, Bibio, Hammock...you get the idea. What are we looking for in a second guitarist? Someone to learn/perform layers that we've not been able to incorporate into some of our live shows, help with writing new material. Someone to laugh with. Someone who geeks out more on writing/playing music than over the type of gear they own. Someone who has their own form of transportation. EXTRA-CREDIT: You can play keys and are into synths. Some logistics: * We practice, on average, twice/week... (often one weeknight from ~5:30-8pm and on Sunday afternoons. this has felt sustainable/healthy for us) * We like to stay organized (i.e., google calendar invites, consistent practice times) * We split the rent on a $320/mo practice space which you'd have 24/7 access to * We're aiming to audition folks starting in mid-April/May... * We're aiming to start booking a few shows in the Pacific NW this summer (we have a lot of vinyl we didn't get to sell in-person due to COVID) Should you be interested in talking further and/or auditioning... please introduce yourself, share some existing material, and let us know how you could see yourself contributing to the next phase of our project. Thanks in advance! - The Mighty Missoula https://mightymissoula.com https://www.facebook.com/mightymissoula/ https://mightymissoula.bandcamp.com/
