SEEKING
Bass Guitar.ABOUT
My name is Ally, I am a vocalist/lyricist in an as-yet-unnamed rock band based in Edinburgh. Right now there are three of us; myself, a guitarist and a drummer. We are looking for a bassist to complete our line-up.
Our sound is a sort of indie-noise-grunge sound. Dark, raw, alternative rock. Melodic, yes, but also with a lot of raw power (Stooges reference wholly intended).
I am 26 and have been gigging since I was 14. I have a lot of experience of gigging, of recording, of writing, and of promoting bands. I am very professional. I have a PA system if someone has a rehearsal space or we need it for a gig, I have lots of contacts for gigs throughout the UK and for getting videos, photos, artwork etc done. Neil is 32 and similarly has lots of experience both of playing in bands and playing solo material. So he is an accomplished song-writer and is someone who is very easy to build a dynamic with. Ewen, the drummer, has a degree in music and is also very experienced in live performance and recording.
Songwriting is done collectively. We bring in ideas, bounce them around, and are totally democratic in how we take riffs and ideas and flesh them into proper songs. We are not a band who shove the bassist in the corner! We are all friendly and easy-going and can be honest with each other over how we write and build the songs.
If you are interested, drop me a line and we can get jams sorted out very quickly. We will be looking to meet and jam essentially immediately.
Cheers guys!

Just a little 8-track our guitarist did of the verse and chorus riff to the first song we wrote. At present, we have no other recordings, although we do have other songs.
