We're starting a new three piece in London.

We're influenced by Shellac, Cop Shoot Cop, Lightning Bolt, Om, Oneida etc etc We've done the rounds and we know how to get gigs.

We are bass and drums. We need you to come and play bass too. You will get loads of chance to shine, since no guitarists means no egos. Ability to play an aggressive, repetitive groove intensely desirable. If you can do some singing/shouting that's fine, but we have plenty of that already if you can't.

No tunes or MySpace yet. You're going to help shape them. We want an intense, but open sound. Dynamics, distortion and despair in equal measures.

this sounds fucking amazing

what's with all the all bass, no guitar ads? lol

TRying to do similar thing but got rid of the drummer too!


this does sound awesome

where in london are you?


We're

all over. So no idea where we'll be practising yet. I'm trying not to make too many decisions until everyone's on board. This should be a democracy (after all, it has no guitarists in).


Was your ex-girlfriend

a guitarist or something?


^5

lolz.


This sounds grand

I can play bass, barely.

Shellac + Lightning Bolt = awesome noise


whats wrong with guitarists?

just because they play a better instrument


This sounds amazing

and just my sort of thing. Unfortunately I'm not in London enough to offer my services. Most annoying.

Anyway, good luck in your search.


Given that I know...

who you and your drummer are, and what bands you've been in, I'm sure this will be absolutely fucking awesome.

As a guitarist however, I'm outraged.


The outrage of guitarists

is sweet, sweet nectar to me.

I WANT MP3S TO HEAR!

Cheers.

(When you've got the other bassist I mean.)


I'm up for this.

Are you still looking?
