ROCK BASSIST wanted for CHASING HORIZON. Only Apply if you play & like ROCK songs

[DaveMustaine]

We are currently a 4-piece band (Vox + Lead Guitarist + Rhythm Guitarist + Drummer)

Looking for a committed & inter-mediate Rock Bassist to join our fold to round up the band, as our current Bassist of 2 years has work commitments & have to take a hiatus.

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. No hardcore growling metal or Chinese songs.

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. 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.

We are all in our mid 20s & mid 30s, all local Singaporean Chinese.

We look forward to participate in gigs from April onwards, if we can find the right bassist soon.

We have firmed up the audition dates for 4 bassist candidates. And do keep writing to us, if you think you like playing catchy rock.

And if there are more candidates, we may open up more dates if we are still looking for the right Bassist candidate after the two audition dates.

There are pretty good bassist candidates who write in & they are very accomplished with many years of playing, probably too accomplished & could be worthy as sessionist, hence we feel it's best for us to shortlist the intermediate bassists skilled with 3 to 7++ years of playing, to match our intermediate level of playing too. Still, we are honored to have your interest.

[Confirmed Bassist Audition Dates]
1) Mon 24th March
2) Mon 31st March
