Guest idol_wild Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 Hello.Kartta are, essentially, a noisy indie pop/rock band. And we seek a quality bass player. We've recently recruited a new third guitarist and we now seek to complete the five-piece line-up with a bassist who has faith in the material and has genuine commitment in abundance.We have been lucky enough to play several high-profile support slots and we have also played several times in Glasgow and Edinburgh, in addition to a mini tour which took us to exotic destinations such as York and Belfast.We believe in what we are doing and want to have fun while we still can. We plan to tour again early next year so with this in mind you'd need to be flexible with regards to booking time off work/university if required. We also plan to invest time (and money) into studio recording.We have four songs on our myspace:MySpace.com - Kartta - Outer Space, UK - Pop / Other - www.myspace.com/karttamusicWe intend to focus upon writing new material and changing our direction slightly, thus only two of the songs on the website will likely remain in the future live set.With this slightly new approach and direction in mind, our key influences will include:American FootballBuilt to SpillThe Appleseed CastEarly ...Trail of DeadBroken Social SceneGang of FourBuckfastand, of course, Eurythmics.Anyone over the age of 18 will be considered, though we would prefer someone with a similar musical outlook.We are all pleasant geeks and we aim to have fun whilst being creative.Throw me a PM or message on the myspace. Any questions, feel free to ask.Hope to hear from you soon!Phillip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ollie Posted September 29, 2008 Report Share Posted September 29, 2008 Hi Karta,I would have been up for trying out had I not been going out to South Korea to live. Have you tried callum chapman, ex turning 13 bassist? I am not sure if he's still in a band or if he'd be up for it but perhaps worth a shout. Drummonds is his usual dig. His brother greg is the singer guitarist for get in get out.Ollie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davidm Posted September 30, 2008 Report Share Posted September 30, 2008 I'm up for this. I've played bass for a few years now in a couple of bands and have a full bass set up. I'm very, very much up for as much touring as possible - I just want to play everywhere and anywhere and I really love yer music on myspace. So, yeah, I'm available.

Guest idol_wild Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 i might be tempted for this.i only have a bass though. no smart amp etc.None of us are tech snobs, though. Our previous full-time bassist didn't really own a smart bass amp either, but we got by.Well, I say a lot of things. And that was ages ago anyway.So, in layman's terms, you're desperate now?

Guest treader. Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 well i mean...i dont have an amp at all. or a cab. just a bass guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest idol_wild Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 well i mean...i dont have an amp at all. or a cab. just a bass guitar.That won't be a problem for local gigs, should we be offered any worthwhile slots.If it came to out of town shows/tours I'm sure it's a hurdle that could be overcome.We'd rather like a bassist who owns and knows how to use effects pedals too...

Guest treader. Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 emm i have some guitar effects pedals that i'm sure could double up.i would need to investigate that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
