[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]We are Empyre an originals rock band based in the Midlands, UK, we are seeking a bass guitarist and we have some questions for you that we hope you answer “yes” to.[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Are you, or do you know a skilled bass player (skilled is hard to define, we know, so make your best judgement) who:[/font][/size][list]
[*][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Lives in somewhere within the approximate area of Birmingham to the north, Milton Keynes to the east, Oxford to the south and Evesham to the West[/font][/size]
[*][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Likes rock music – at least our version of rock music, go check it out to find out (You can listen [url="https://t.co/5bzwzSJJ7U"]here[/url] whilst reading the rest). Think: some of the blues and country elements of Kings of Leon, guitar riffs in the spirit of Foo Fighters, the non-punky side of Pearl Jam and elements of Alter Bridge, Royal Blood and some softer, melodic, atmospheric artists.[/font][/size]
[*][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Wants to join a committed band and be a committed band member[/font][/size]
[*][size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]Wants to get involved with promoting the band and building our fan base[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]A bit about us:
We have recorded two EPs so far. Currently there are another 4 tracks written ready for recording a third EP before the end of 2016.
We intend to do our fair share of gigging, but gig smart and play the gigs worth playing not just playing a gig for the sake of it, driving up and down to London 2-3 times a week to play to the bar staff is not our idea of a good use of time and resources for example. Practice will be once a week and we’ll try to find a time and place mutually convenient for all 4 band members.
Along with the goal of recording the third EP our other goal is to be playing some known festivals in 2017, we believe this is achievable.[/font][/size]

[size=4][font=tahoma,geneva,sans-serif]A bit about you:
Ideally we’d like someone to join us that is interested in writing new material with us, but how involved you get with that is up to you.
It’s likely the right person for us is in the 20 - 40 age range and of professional/advanced standard of bass playing. We expect you to be reliable and willing to give the commitment needed to push the band forward. You will need a full driving licence and your own transport, all your own gear and some experience of being in a band before would be valuable.[/font][/size]

@JapanAxe, Thanks!

@Arizona, we've only just seen your reply, we tried to make the advert clear on the best way to apply. West Sussex is it Geoff? Not really for us, thanks.
