We consist of a drummer, a guitarist and a vocalist/guitarist. We are seeking an auxiliary percussionist to help bolster our sound.
We have eight songs. We are planning on the recording of a six-song EP this year, another EP early next year and live shows as well.
You will be using congas, timbales, resonant oil drums, saw blades, and assorted items such as bottles, goat hooves, metal drumsticks and knives. I'm looking to incorporate Haitian and Cuban polyrhythms into the music to emphasize and augment the beats with the drummer as needed for each song, helping to forge a unique, creative sound. I can teach you these rhythms.
The percussive element of the band is a strong component, and we are looking for someone who will not just accompany the drummer, but build up a sense of dynamic and aggression.
Influences: Swans, Damaged/My War/Slip It In-era Black Flag, Neurosis, Tchkung!, Tad, Brothers of the Sonic Cloth, Big Black, Arsenal, Birthday Party, Pigface, Einsturzende Neubauten, early Tool, Laibach, Throbbing Gristle, Savage Republic, Prong, F-Space, Leadbelly, Killing Joke, Saint Vitus, SPK, Godflesh, Jesu, Jarboe, Head of David and many others. I expect to build upon a naturally evolving sound.
I'm curating a traveling festival this summer that I hope to include the band in.
No drugs.
