Bass Player Wanted - South Dublin - Melodic Rock

MadisunMusic

Madisun have been together for a little over a year now, started playing gigs around Dublin late November last year, just off the back of a home recorded demo, things built up quickly, we got a lot of press/publicity and we got a slot at this past summer's Oxegen festival:

A few months after, our bassist left us, and we haven't been able to find a suitable replacement.

Currently, we are getting ready to record our EP at the end of December, where we will be using a session bassist, but we need someone who can slot in immediately after into what'll be a hectic enough gigging schedule. We have the right plan in place to make it happen.

We're a melodic rock band, with a wide range of influences, we'd play some heavier and darker things, and some lighter, but all with good melody at the core of it.

We need someone who has:

Talent, musicality, creativity, rock solid timing, great metronome skill, great stage presence, a knowledge of theory so they can improvise, and a huge work ethic.

Ideally you'd be around our age, we're 18-21, we need someone who is going to be able to drop everything and commit fully if things take off, along with a high level of commitment and work ethic in the meantime.

Most importantly really, we need someone who's going to be a laugh, easy to get on with, someone who we won't kill on a tour bus!

We practice 4-5 times a week, mostly in the evenings.

If you like the sound of it, and want to work hard at it, get back to us Via PM with your:

Age, years playing, influences, anything you've recorded, metronome ability, gigging experience, gear etc (all the usual stuff).

We'll send you some tracks and more details and hopefully get you in for a jam.

Cheers,
Madisun.

Sorry mate, only saw the PM there. Not really used to how these forums work. Thanks for the response, not sure you'd fit in really. Many thanks.
