SEEKING DRUMMER: Established Oly Jam Band

Olympia WA

Description

Got sticks and shells? Can you improvise? Let's go! Space Whales is an established Olympia band seeking a permanent drummer. We play psychedelic rock/funk/jam music with jazz influences and an emphasis on improvisation and original material. Influences include Phish, Herbie Hancock, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, weather report and many more jazz, blues, and improvisational rock bands. We've been around for 3 years, have released one album and an EP, and have played venues like the Spanish Ballroom, Blue Moon, Rhythm n Rye, and Gem and Jam festival. We're hoping to continue developing our audience and presence in the PNW and beyond. We are seeking a drummer with a professional approach, creative spirit, and laid back personality. We have a long practice every Saturday in the chehalis area, and gig several times a month. An ideal drummer would be available on Saturdays, have transportation and pro gear, and be fully committed to the project as it grows. Ability to learn a catalog of 25 songs as well as freely improvise is necessary. Our ages range from 24 to 30, we don't really drink or party hard but do smoke weed, and value a balance of professionalism and being weird and having fun, and are looking for similar. No racists, homophobes, or transphobes. Please reach out to us, we'd love to jam with you and see if we've got that magic!
