Bass Player (still) Wanted

    Hey posted this a while ago, but to no avail. We're still looking so any interest please PM me.

    We are currently a 2 piece outfit (drums and guitar), aged 22 and 21, based in South Dublin, looking for a bass player/singer to complete three piece line-up.
    We are not looking for the most technically proficient bass player in the world, but what we are looking for is a player with a strong awareness of groove and rhythm, as we are a three piece and a solid rockin’ rhythm section is essential. As we are a three piece any ability to sing and carry a melody is fairly essential, as we hope to split the vocals (between bass and guitar) and possibly even work toward vocal harmonies.

    Bands we like: Nirvana, Hendrix, The Doors, Kyuss, Cream, Mastodon, Black Sabbath, Alice in Chains, At The Drive In, Funkadelic, Queens of the Stone Age, Mars Volta, Black Flag, Led Zeppelin, Baroness, Omar Rodriguez Lopez Group, Thin Lizzy, Queen, Tool, Metallica… So on and so forth, you get the idea.

    We focus very heavily on jamming and improvisation, our jams venturing everywhere from rock, blues, jazz, metal, funk, pretty much anything. Our aim is to learn enough covers to start gigging but our main focus will be on our own material, as we are coming up with new ideas all the time.

    Again, we’re just looking for a creative musician who knows how to find a groove and think on their feet with a good musical sensibility.

    An open mind and a willingness to try anything musical are absolutely essential. Must be prepared to commit to at least two nights a week, to begin with. No ego’s or drug enforcement agents, please and thanks :D

    How's it going lads, I am a singer/songwriter looking to start a four piece, just posted an ad looking for a guitarist and a drummer from the south Dublin area then I saw this. I'm from Tallaght and I am currently talking to a bassist who is also from Tallaght, about starting a band. You have mentioned a few of my influences including Thin Lizzy, Queen ,The Doors, Led Zeppelin and Nirvana. If your up for a jam get in contact :)
