Bassist available in South/East London

I've been out of bands for a couple of years to focus on studying and looking to get back into gigging again. Ideally I'd like to join something already reasonably established, with songs and gigs already in place, but this isn't a prerequisite.

My musical interests are very broad: I'm into experimental music, classical music, jazz and free improvisation as well as bands like The Smiths, Sonic Youth, This Heat, New Order, Why?, Girls, The National, Dirty Projectors, Pavement, Public Enemy, No Age, etc etc.

I'm not particularly looking to make money from this; what I'm after really is to play with people interested in making good music without taking it or themselves too seriously.

  • Hi there - I'm looking to get together a band as an offshoot of a graphic novel and music project I've been working on. Basically I have a fairly established group of songs, but still more that need working on, so theres plenty of scope for your input. The basslines are meant to be quite Smithsy, so I need someone quite good basically. Ideally I'd like to re-record the current songs at some stage as these are bedroom approximations, but initially the focus will be on herearsing, developing and playing out live.

    Have a listen either on the songs page (www.universalson.wordpress.com/songs) or on my soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/universalson

    I’m South East London based (Crystal Palace) so ideally to rehearse in that area. If you think it sounds interesting and you’d like to get involved, email me: eve.james@gmail.com

    Hiya!

    We're an established London band looking for a talented, experienced bassist. Our influences include Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, Elastica, The Kills, Iggy and The Stooges, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Pixies, Manic Street Preachers, Cat Power, Garbage, Kings of Leon, The Clash, Joy Division, Sleeper, The Cramps, Von Bondies, Rolling Stones, Patty Smith. Check out www.soundcloud.com/deafyeti for our recently completed demo if you would like to hear more.

    We are all full time employed/studying, between the ages of 21-30, rehearsals or gigging once/twice a week in and around central London. While we currently hire studios depending on what’s convenient for everyone on a week to week basis, longer-term rental of our own or a shared space is something we would like to look into.

    If you share a real desire to be part of a working band - to write, rehearse, play and promote - then we’d love to hear from you. This is what we love to do and music is important to us. This is not an excuse to drink or party, although we enjoy those things too; this is about making something great which we can be proud to be part of.

    If you've listened to the recordings over at Soundcloud and feel 100% confident that you can play up to and beyond what the bass does on the tracks there, then we'd love to hear from you! Please send an application to deafyeti@hotmail.com including your name, age, current employment status, a photo of yourself, brief introduction regarding experience, influences etc, and link to any recordings/videos you may have.

    For further information/BIO please visit www.deafyeti.bandcamp.com or private message us directly at www.facebook.com/deafyeti

    Applications must be submitted by the 22.10.12

    We look forward to meeting you!

    Much love,

    x Shell, Jon and Julia x
