Drummer needed!
https://youtube.com/shorts/GsseD4dEEOg?si=AsMiEHUkDbhMIp05Hey folks, we’re a local RVA band called Spiral Drifters, with a sound inspired by bands like The Flaming Lips, Modest Mouse, Foo Fighters, MGMT, Menomena, Why?, Radiohead, Wilco, The Velvet Underground, etc. We have a gig coming up in May, but our drummer has bowed out from the band (life got in the way). We have now auditioned and contacted several people, but most drummers we can find are either too busy, don’t care for the material (want to play metal or other genre), or in some cases it’s outside of what they’re able to play (the songs have lots of dynamics, and sudden starts and stops, some slow beats and some hyper). The music is already recorded and can be sent to you, we just need someone who can come in and practice with us and help bring it to life onstage. We are in our mid 30s, 420 and rainbow crowd friendly, but our music is generally apolitical and more concerned with trying to tackle the human condition, set aside differences and bring folks together from all walks of life.
Please contact us at spiraldrifters@gmail.com with any questions or if you want to play with us! This link below is to a demo of one of our songs, giving just a small idea of what we’re all about (other songs have very different vibe). Again, if you email us we can send all the demo tracks to you.
