headspvce + Band in Dartford, EN

SEEKING

ABOUT

A North Kent based music project, queer and femme led!

My name is Lauren, and this is my project headspvce (pronounced headspace in case that wasn’t obvious!). This project is my main creative outlet, and I have a large number of demos that I am currently recording. I am a producer, studio engineer and live musician with quite a large amount of experience for my age, having worked in studios, live setup and sound, and played live in a number of different session bands in my time at secondary school, and now at music college at ACM Guildford.

I am searching for committed band members (preferably full time but i am open to a touring/solely live relationship too if necessary!)

The primary roles that need filling include:
• a bassist
• a lead guitarist (preferably with interest and experience using effects pedals interestingly)
• a versatile and open minded drummer

Live and studio experience preferred but not compulsory, although having your own instrument/pedals/accessories is (even if it’s a minimal setup, it’s about what you can do with it!)

Also, depending on the sonic landscapes the four of us can create, there may also potentially be space for a multi instrumentalist with experience in at least two of these instruments - keys
- guitar
- saxophone (any register)
- strings of some kind (violin/viola/cello)

Of course, if any of our potential core members have experience with keys or synths or any of the other instruments listed or even have some keys and synths and would be willing to experiment with them, then this would also be a bonus!

Ideally members would be of
of a similar age to myself, as I am 17, but the most important qualities are commitment and professionalism. I am based in dartford, south east london primarily, but would be wanting to find a rehearsal space that works best for all members of the band, and since I travel around London a lot, and also study music production at college in Guildford, Surrey, so long as the whole band are based around or able to get to North or South London, Kent, or Surrey any of these could probably work!

I really love the songs I am writing/have written for this project and want lifelong friends to work with me and make it the best it can be.

The kind of key idea is that I, and hopefully you also just want to make a career doing something we love, have fun, and continue our passionate love of sound.
