ABOUT

DRUMMER WANTED FOR SHOEGAZE BAND (Sep 2014)

We are a shoegaze / dream pop / ghost rock band looking for a drummer to play live shows, do recordings and make something of ourselves in Sydney as well as Australia-wide with sights looking beyond e.g. in Japan.

This is a song we recorded in August.

Another song we will be recording this month.

We love shoegaze, but our interest lies in redefining the genre rather than just replicating what's already out there. We place a strong emphasis on vocals, melodies and atmospheres as well as maximising our individual idiosyncrasies within it to cultivate a certain 'distinctiveness' in our music as a group.

This honing of distinctiveness not only amplifies our creative fulfilment (gained from pursuing expressions derived from being inimitably you), but also creates a much needed niche; a unique value within the over-saturated 'rock band market' in Sydney and elsewhere.

All three of us have played plenty of live shows with various bands.

If any of this interests you and you'd like to have a casual jam to see how we all fit, do drop us a line!

John, Ryo & Tom

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR IN A DRUMMER

All or a mix of:

- Love for the genre and willingness to do redefine it in your own unique ways. Skills are necessary, but creative / outside-the-box rhythmic expressions and influences are most valuable.
- Has his/her own kit. Electric pads, programming, and real percussions are all a plus.
- Experience playing in bands (or minimal experience but committed to learn)
- Not egocentric, but empathetic and collaborative
- Available at least one session a week
- Practically and proactively motivated to make a societal impression through the band.
