Guitarist / Bassist / Multi-Instrumentalist (Dublin)

Rocky Racoon

Hey. So we call ourselves the crayon set – we’re currently a 3-man, 2-woman indie powerpop band. We listen to pretty much everything but our sound seems to be influenced by these guys in particular: velvet underground, teenage fanclub, stereolab, arcade fire, sufjan stevens, belle and sebastian – and these kind of bands would give you an idea of the direction we’re trying to go in.

We use a lot of instruments (guitar, piano, double bass, violin, clarinet, trumpet, er cowbell..). So basically we don’t have enough hands to go around….Looking for someone who is creative, has similar musical taste, is dedicated, doesn’t have a massive ego and who feels they can contribute something - add additional melody lines /atmosphere to the songs etc.

To give you a rough idea some oldies but goldies are up here:

We’re NOT:
- a singer-songwriter type band
- a typical guitar rock band
And in terms of the music we play we’ve little interest in these genres: metal, goth, blues, emo, prog, math-rock, grunge.

Ideally you should be able to play a few instruments well (including guitar and bass) and maybe one or 2 more (accordion, banjo, brass, strings, kazoo…). Vocal ability would be cool too. Age-wise we’re 23-33. We're a decent live act now but next few months will be about getting songs arrangements right and recording EP (this is lined up). We rehearse on Thursday and Sunday evenings in the city centre in a really nice dedicated rehearsal room.

Alternatively if you play brass or strings (anything a bit different) and want to take part on a more part-time basis this could work too…
