TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 Since my tosspack of a bass player wont stay in Aberdeen over the Summer, I was wondering if anyone was keen on filling in for him?We've just gotten a new drummer and changed our name from Sin-e (no one could pronounce it or thought we were and irish diddly diddly dee band) to Port of Saints.The sound is pretty much indie rock, but a touch heavier, though not verging on Metal.The bass player doesn't have to be the greatest, most of the bass lines are just fairly melodic, no slap bass or anything!

Laxton's Superb Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 sin-e.....a buckley/cafe influence? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 sin-e.....a buckley/cafe influence? In name only... I'm a big fan of Jeff Buckley, but it's not what i want to do. It ws the first decent "sensible" name i could think of. I thought that "The Mark Chapman Beatles" would offend too many people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laxton's Superb Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 haha...port of saints isnt too bad, what are your influences? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted April 29, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 My main influence on guitar is Billy Corgan, but i try not sound like him too much... The band is trying to go for a heavy pop song kinda thing... Very varied, some a disco-ish, punky, grungey etc... The singer's favourite bands are Pink Floyd and Oasis, and the current bass player is into more punky stuff like Capdown and Lightyear. But we all like the usual suspects like Nirvana, Led Zepellin yadda yadda... I don't really care if anyone interested doesn't have the same influences, what i'd most like to do is meet whoever and give them a copy of some of our live and 4 track demos to see if he/she likes it.

Laxton's Superb Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 as you can see, im in a band already....and not a bassist, im sure we'll hear each others material at some point though, happy hunting! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Maverik Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I might be interested. I'm a guitarist, but can play bass. I can't keep up with flea and what not, but I can knock out a decent rhythm. I'd need to get my hands on a bass as well which might mean saving for one (shouldn't take too long though). I'll be working over the summer but most nights should be free for practices. ~Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Defect Posted April 29, 2005 Report Share Posted April 29, 2005 I have never played bass..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 2, 2005 Cheers for all the (useful) replies... I'm not sure how I'm gonna decide. I should just meet you all and give you copies of our demos to make sure everyone likes them... Then a battle to the death to decide the most suitable applicant. or maybe not.

TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted May 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2005 I'm fairly sure Brown (our bass player) is gonna be away from the start of June until September, the total pie... So that's the time frame I'm looking at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
