Guitarist wanted -The Altered States (Aucks)

Post by The Scarecrow »

The Altered States is an Auckland/Shore based band that draws from many genres - our sound would best be described as a mixture of alternative/experimental/post-hardcore rock. We share vocals between most of our members, clean/gritty/screams and are influenced by artists such as Thrice, Alexisonfire, At The Drive In, Sparta, Deftones,A Perfect Cirlce, Thursday, Eyes Set to Kill, Lost Prophets, Coheed & Cambria, Parkway Drive etc.

We have been on the scene for a couple of years with regular gigs around Aucks, recently released a 4-track EP and working on our next compilation at the current time.

Due to one of our members departing overseas, we require a second guitarist to fill out our sound.

- We are looking for a person who likes the music we do, works well in a band and more importantly in a social situation. We want someone who'll hang with us outside of practice and gigs. We are cool cats, honestly.
- Aged between 18-35, male or female. Anyone considered, but we need someone who is committed and keen to practice and gig, not just a casual player. Preferably someone without lots of job/family or other time commitments - we would like to be a priority in your life, really.
-You should have transport and and financial means to support practice costs - we jam weekly on Wednesday in Central Auckland at the Manor, with extra practices thrown in if we have upcoming gigs.
- Gigging quality gear; practice amp or small combo probably will get drowned out by our rhythm section, which sounds like global thermonuclear war when they fire up. No Langcasters accepted.
- Our songs are well layered but not hard to learn. Someone who can come up with their own parts within the scope of our sound, not just repeat the other guitar all the time. A mixture of lead and rhythm playing would be required, and a healthy knowledge of FX pedals for soundscaping wouldn't go astray.
- Backing vocals either clean or dirty would be a definite plus, but it not essential.

Email/pm/Facebook/text/call to apply - demos of current material can be emailed to applicants, and samples of our older stuff can be found at thealteredstates.co.nz and our Facebook page is in my sig.
