Wanna be in a band?

Ok, that's it, I'm starting a new band!

Don't worry, I'm not giving up on the old one, in fact the album is being mastered this Wednesday. YAY!

But it's time for me to take control, to find a group of people who are really, really passionate about playing music for a living and are keen to make a go of it. People who are truly excited about the same kind of music I am!

So... here's the job description. Contact me if you're interested.


Do you love Arcade Fire, The Dears, The Frames, Elbow?

I am starting a new originals band inspired by those listed above and more.

I am looking for people who are passionate about playing and keen to try new things. I envisage a band where everybody has a go at singing and takes turns on different instruments. A band where people enjoy performing live and feed off each others’ energy. A band where songwriting is a collaborative effort. A band that attracts a following quickly through its exciting and passionate performances.

I am a 29y/o female keys player who also dabbles in vocals, guitar, drums/perc and I want a chance to improve these skills by using them in a live setting. I would love to find other multi-instrumentalists who are keen to do likewise.

The band will rehearse weekly, probably on weekends so if you’re not willing to give up your Sunday afternoons then please don’t waste my time. It will also gig regularly – through my other band I have plenty of contacts so be ready to hit the ground running. I’m just north of the city so looking to rehearse around the inner Melbourne area.

I don’t care what instrument you play, whether you’re a guy or a girl, age not much of an issue but I need a mature attitude. If you’re excited about putting your heart and soul into a band like those above I want to hear from you.

Hell yes I want to be in a band, if you still need a bassplayer/tambourinist.

Rehearsals should be easy to organise. My amplifier is currently located at a small church hall quite conveniently close to your house.

Come to think of it, it's been there on an unoffocial semi permanent loan for three years. I'm guessing this is not demonstrating quite the degree of musical commitment you're looking for.

Next time I wander into that parallel universe where I don't have a full time job + study commitments + childrens, I will be audtioning in a second.
