ION Needs a Bass Player!! READ MORE FOR INFO![views:2411][posts:3]_____________________________________ [Feb 15,2005 4:52pm - RustedAngel ""] OH NO NOT AGAIN!! "Current mood: horny ok so here's the deal, Invocation Of Nehek is currently looking for a bass player. We want to weed out some of the 'no way in hell are you playing in our band' type of people, so with that we've come up with a set of guidelines and prerequisites for potential bass players. - First and foremost you have to be solid, not amazing, although amazing would be great, but at very least solid, with a good understanding of your instrument, we have no time to teach you how to play bass. We want BASS PLAYERS!! Not guitar players that think they know how to play bass, or any thing that might be similar to that. - Second, you NEED road worthy gear, our shit is pretty loud and your gear has to keep up, aside from merely keeping up, it should probably sound good too, I know that’s a lot to ask for, but we aren't in the market to have 1/5 of our band sound like an anal explosion. If you are a REALLY good bass player, and you don't have great gear right off the bat, that’s fine, but you should at very least have the expectation of obtaining decent gear SHORTLY after joining. - A positive attitude is a must, if you think everything sucks, than find another band, an open mind and positive thinking is welcome, anything short of that, don't bother. Also leave your ego at the door, we are looking for down to earth people willing to work hard, and have fun, it is possible to do both at once. If you are dedicated than the work part, no matter how shitty things get, should still be fun. - Location and Transportation. We live in Central CT, so if you live in CT, you HAVE to have a car, if you live 5 minutes from New Britain or Wethersfield, we can probably work something out, anyone else needs a car. If you are not from CT and are willing to relocate, that’s fucking awesome! However you have to be able to support yourself, and finance your move to CT. We are in no position where we can afford to support your move and living expenses while you are in transition. According to statistics, CT is one of the most expensive states in the country to live in, especially when you are working a shitty job, so if you reeeeaaaalllly want to relocate, know that it isn't going to be easy, and you will probably need outside help, i.e.: parents or some shit feeding you cash. - Flexibility. We all have jobs, and or school, so you need to have a job that allows you to get weekends off, and to tour. I'm not talking 2 weeks vacation pay, I mean you need to have a job that will let you leave for 3 weeks or so and than let you come back, only to do it again a couple weeks to a month later. If you live with your folks than cool, but you need to be able to tour, regardless what your situation is, if you can't tour, than don't bother. - Age. You need to be at least 18, not that we'll turn away a 17 year old, however, you need to have a situation where your parents aren't affecting your availability. High school kids need not apply. Ideally, we are looking for someone 20 or older. - If you currently find nu-metal acceptable in anyway shape or form, than forget it. Get a new cd collection and burn your hot topic clothes and then we'll talk. - Sure you're a solid bass player, sure you can play our existing songs, but can you write??? You should be comfortable enough in your abilities to write your bass lines, and bring something new to the table, this is a collaborative effort and you have to be able to hold you own. These are the only things I can think of right now, but pretty much, these are the most important, anything else is just nit picking, aside from weeding out hacks, we are generally easy going guys, that are more than reasonable and patient with people, if we come off as dicks in this, it's just to cut the fat and get to the people that really want to play. If feel that you understand those guidelines and can fit all that, than definitely drop us a line at: Email: v1olenc3@comcast.net AOL Instant Messenger: v1olenc3 Myspace: http://www.myspace.com/invocationofnehek Website: www.nehekmetal.com " |
