Musicians Wanted for Alternative Rock Band in Dublin

Balbo · 12-03-2015 11:57pm #1

Hi,

Long-time forum follower, first time poster.

I’m looking to start some type of alternative rock band in Dublin. I’m reluctant to define a particular sound as I think it’s something that develops overtime but hopefully it would be something that draws on a number of different genres across the ‘alternative’ spectrum. As a result the ideal people involved would have diverse influences; indie, garage, punk, post rock, post punk, post hardcore, post punk revival (anything with post in the title really :-)), noise pop, shoegaze, math rock etc.. That’s not an exhaustive list by any means but some sort of mixture of sounds is the general idea.

I mainly play guitar but can also play bass and a little bit of keys (quite badly). Initially I am looking for a bassist, drummer and possibly a guitarist but if you feel you have something else to offer by all means get in contact. No experience in a band is necessary and you don’t have to be a musical genius either, a basic understanding of your instrument and will do.

The plan would be to start with a few covers but the ultimate aim would be to do originals. Age wise somewhere between 18 and 25 would be good.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of that. If any of it sounded interesting or you want to know more send me a PM or post below and I’ll get back to you.

Hi, I'm based in North Dublin and I share a lot of your musical tastes, particularly indie, post-punk, shoegze etc., although my influences are very diverse, and I am pretty much looking to develop something similar myself. I am primarily a guitarist but also play keys and violin. I also have a very good ear for melody and would like to develop original material with a unique sound within a band context.

Thanks,

Niall

Bassist/Backup Vox here, 21. Kildare/Dublin based, very into garage and post rock/post hardcore vibes and love some good math rock and noise rock too.

Would love to jam sometime if you're up for it. Bands of influence would be Million Dead/Frank Turner, Alexisonfire, DFA1979 and letlive.
