SEEKING
Bass Guitar.ABOUT
We're an established quiet/loud alternative rock band based in Manchester, looking for a bassist/backing vocalist (highly desireable) to continue with our current material as well as have a positive influence in the creative process.
We're looking for someone who has a passion for playing and can show it on stage, along with a drive to succeed and professional attitude in both the music and organisational side of things, sharing our strong work ethic and determination.
We want to make this a career, not spend our time playing gigs for promoters who don't really care, so we're constantly endeavouring to take things to the next level, for example we currently run our own night at a popular bad in the city centre.
Where are we heading? We're looking to create gritty, dark, ballsy, alternative rock, that's intricate with melodic overlays, which is gonna get the crowd sweaty and leaving gigs on a musical high. Having said that, we're not afraid to take things acoustic or break out of our main direction for a change of pace.
Want examples?
QOTSA, Biffy Clyro, Nine Black Alps (circa 'Not Everyone'), Foo Fighters ('Heavier' aspects)
We have professionally recorded material as a taster so you can get to grips with our current sound, so if you can relate to everything you've read and think you'd slot in then drop us a message and you can come down for a chat and a jam. Check out our website www.fatmanstarjumps for more stuffs about us. Alternatively give Si a shout on 07812 069782 or if you prefer, get in touch via email at [email protected]
