We are starting to lookout for a Rock Bassist to audition from next month Feb onwards, as our current Bassist, a long-time good friend of ours, has been helping us out on a temporary basis, for our gigs for the past few months.
He has his own band, hence he is going back to spending more time with his own band after helping us one more time in our January gig this month.
So we are now looking out for a good passionate & committed Rock Bassist who likes to play rock covers.
For us, we all have our day jobs, but we love to play music as a serious hobby to perform in gigs. Some gigs are Pro Bono, some are paid where we divide it equally. It doesn't matter whether the gigs are paid or free, we just wanna rock. If you share this same passion as us, then half the battle is already won.
===========
Audition Dates:
===========
To be finalized. The dates will be in Feb after Chinese New Year.
Do drop us a private message at our Facebook Band Page: www.facebook.com/chasinghorizon with your intro, name, age, race, music interest, & are you in any bands currently. Which songs in the audition list that you would like to try out with us.
===============
Our Band Background:
===============
We play catchy old & new Rock Hits covers, ranging from 80s to the latest new Rock Hits. Our direction is strictly on Hard-Rock, Rock Ballads, Punk Rock & Melodic Metal covers. Preferably catchy English rock hits. No hardcore growling metal.
We jam on a once-a-week basis, & do gigs once every 2 months. Whenever there is a gig coming, we may rehearse up to twice a week when closer to the performance date itself.
And we like to come prepared for the jamming, and not to use jamming studio time to learn the new song on the spot. Ample time will be provided beforehand, for all of us to learn the songs. We had some past members who just show up at jamming to learn the song on the spot. It really slows everyone down, and making the jamming very unproductive. We hope to avoid this, going forward.
Our current line-up shares & supports this work and musicianship ethics. If you don't, please do not apply & waste everybody's time.
This is the commitment level that we are looking for. Of course, we do our best to accommodate everyone's availability & schedule, as family + work still take priority.
The current members are all in our mid 20s & mid 30s, all local Singaporean Chinese & Malay
