Author Topic: Bass player wanted for serious alt/rock band  (Read 1561 times)

« on: 26 May 08, 10:32 »

Hi and thanks for checking out the post. We're a local GTA band with over 4 years experience playing the local scene (and some gigs out of the city/province). We're in our mid 20's and are fronted by a strong female vocalist. Our sound is hard, punchy, experimental, progressive with a lot of room for improv. We're looking for a solid bass player that can groove with our current drummer but also write melodies that will go with our guitarists. We've had major label interest and are just waiting for the right man before we make ourselves heard on an international scale. Please make sure you fit the description:

1) you take music serious
2) you own PRO (or semi-pro) gear
3) feel comfortable on stage and put on a show
4) ages 19-32 Please ask for demos if interested. Thank you!

Peace, love and respect!

Saying you have "Major label interest" is like saying you talked to a hot girl one time and are waiting for her to call you back and hoping that she didn't just give you her number cause she was wasted.

Maybe in a few years someone will say, they sound "indie" and people will think, they must use lots of instruments recorded poorly... or they must sing like lou reed...

It's true, he was not born or raised. He was formed on the interweb.

Wow! thanks everyone for taking time off from your daily routine of being sour. So I'm new to this phenomenon of being a trendy cunt - no i don't blog or read posts from last year. If I really broke any rules my post should have been deleted. Period. No shit the music scene in Toronto is at an all time low - plugin your fucking laptop beats and synths and create some "art" will ya?

Also, to all the fucking great artists that are currently in well established bands selling 2 downloads a month and are NOT in need of a major label, why don't you post your URL's? Better yet, why don't we setup a show and you can cripple us musically while we deliver the "punchy" notes.

who exactly are you referring to??  that encompasses a startlingly wide variety of music AND approaches to music.  does having those elements immediately make what you're doing illegitimate?

Hey man dont worry about these bitter, jealous scene whores man.

This is Ryan M. from Low Level Flight, and i know what it's like to be hated by the haters. We got a show coming up at the Rok Boutique, so if ur interested in maybe playing a show with us, or even just talkin about the 'punch' that makes a trak rock, come on down.  Just say 'Stillepost' to the door guy, and he'll take care of the rest.

Seems a lot of people on here have quotes from other Stilleposters as their signature - a higher percentage than other forums, anyway.

Why is that?
