thanks for your interest bryn... the bassist we are looking for preferably has gigging experience, we are aged between mid 20's and 30's, but we are not ageist. (got a thing 'bout mullets tho) we have gigging experience (but not together before) Influences are fairly broad...the stuff we have created broader still... one we take the sounds out of the studio and to stage, probably a fair bit will change. On the subject of material...we are not creative nazis....any bassist/ guitarist who plays with us will be welcome to make a creative input...just having a bunch of stuff in the bag already is a good place to start...
