Droid Soup + Band in Derby, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

Droid Soup are a Derby based band playing a mixture of classic rock and metal covers and original material. Existing as a 4 piece since 2005, we are now seeking a keyboard player to help bring to life the sound we hear in our heads* for our next (3rd) album, and to retrofit into our older material and covers.

Ideally you will be able to play a bit of bass or rhythm guitar as well to add versatility to our lineup.

Band influences are "classic" rock and metal, NWOBHM, thrash and prog with dollops of punk and grunge in there too, expect a few odd time signatures and sudden changes along with the riffs!

Practices are weekly in Derby, usually a Wednesday from 9 til midnight. Have a listen to our first album here: https://droidsoup.bandcamp/ (free download).

(* that sound being something like the keys heard on Opeth and Haken albums!)
