Moving to Leeds, let down by old members for signed band
I have an album recorded and ready to go, I'm the lead singer/guitarist in a signed, managed band originally from Chester. Unfortunately just as our first single is about to be released the three other members of my band have decided to leave. This has left me in a situation where I've decided to get away from the small town mentality of Chester to somewhere where people would actually be up for working hard. I spoke with my manager and we've decided to put everything on hold for a couple of months so we can find new members.
We have a manager, a record label, an album, a plugger, press agent and booking agent, what I don't have is band members. I'm moving to Leeds in the next week or so, in the meantime I'm looking for :
a guitarist
a drummer
a bassist
male or female, aged 18-28. At least one of you must be a strong singer, I'd be willing to share frontman duties with either one or both of the guitarists so if you're a singer songwriter then things could work quite well. I have no ego and am very easy to get along with, all I want is talented, committed people!
You will have a set to learn obviously but with the right people involved writing for our next album will be a more collaborative effort.
This is the video for one of our first singles here : http://www.vimeo.com/15868577
(it was filmed in HD but that is only a low quality version and the audio sounds bad) The director of the video is a friend of mine and he's said we can reshoot the parts of the video that need to show the new members.
and there are some songs here : http://soundcloud.com/user2836174
Obviously I'm a bit lost with how things have turned out, the other guys are still good friends of mine but I see no ties for me in Chester if they'd all rather not be in a band. It was a case of one person rocking the boat and everyone else decides to leave.
