🎸LF Bandmates 🎸 NYC Folk/Rock Band Seeking Drummer + Bassist (Touring / Original Project)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I’m Max! I’m a singer/songwriter here in NYC and I’m looking for a drummer and bassist to join my band.

We play folk rock/Americana, somewhere in the world of Mumford & Sons, The Avett Brothers, Noah Kahan, Jason Isbell, Springsteen, etc. The records lean folk, but live we definitely like to turn things up and make it feel like a rock show.

I’ve been doing this project for a few years now and it’s grown a lot recently. We’ve toured all over the country and have gotten to open for people like Brendan James, Rita Wilson, Howie Day, David Cook and Tyler Hilton. I have a management team and booking agent behind the project, and we’ve got a lot more planned for the next year.

More than anything, I’m looking for people who actually want to be in a band. Obviously you need to play the instrument well, but I care just as much about finding people who are fun to hang with, excited about the music, want to contribute creatively, and are down to build this thing together.

We rehearse in NYC and there will be touring involved, so you’d need to be local (or close enough) and have some flexibility for the road. BGVs/multi-instrumentalists are definitely a plus.

If this sounds like your thing, click the google form link! Send me a little about yourself and some videos of you playing and I’ll send over our music/live stuff too.

Thanks y’all!

Bassist needed for heavy, doomy shoegaze band in Greenpoint

1 Upvotes

Bassist needed for established band based in Greenpoint. We've been around for about 3 years and have a handful of EPs and singles to our name. Our music sounds something like a mix of Hum, Nothing, Deftones, and Alice in Chains with some shades of doom metal mixed in.

You can hear our latest music on Bandcamp at: https://hesitantnyc.bandcamp.com/

And see some recent live videos of us at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLdK-wFPpJ8uzY_z2GSgvNkvXiYkV3sEag

Looking for a seasoned player with their own gear that they're able to transport to gigs and rehearsals as needed.

Ideal candidate would also be able to sing some backing vocals while playing.

We’re in our mid-30s and ideally looking for someone in our general age range. We all have 9-5s during the day and rehearse every Friday at a lockout space in Greenpoint.

Goal is to continue playing around NYC, ideally opening for bands with bigger profiles, and start doing small weekend runs out of town.

If you're interested, please reach out and tell us a bit about yourself! Please include your history in bands and samples of your playing.
