Looking For

Our band is looking for a new drummer. More information about the band can be found by checking out our links below, but in general we're an established, regularly gigging Brooklyn-based band, female singer/guitarist, female singer/bassist - looking for a solid and creative drummer who fits well with the band/sound. We've been compared to variants of Hole, Sleater-Kinney, Bikini Kill - we have a heavy-ish sound, with catchy songs and interesting parts.

If you are interested, please reply, telling us a little about yourself, your experience as a drummer and what you are looking for in a band. Any recordings or video is helpful too.

We're looking for someone who:
- Wants to be in an active, gigging band, who has a relatively flexible schedule to allow for shows not just in NYC, but out of town as well
- Can practice once a week with the band - our normal day is Thursdays usually from 7:30 - 10:30 (time somewhat flexible) - other options if Thursdays don't work are Tuesdays at 8:30, or some combination of Sundays or Fridays
- Can practice at our practice space in Bushwick (off the Montrose L, practice space split with one other band and a few solo musicians, time available for solo drum practice too)
- Fits our look and sound, interested in live performance
- Is comfortable playing to a metronome if needed, e.g. to work out song parts, for recording (or is just willing to learn / work on this)

Check out our music below. We've released two EPs, two singles, and just recorded some new songs, for a 4 song EP to be released in August, are shooting our second music video in August, and have plans to record again in the fall. In June, we opened for Richard Lloyd of Television, and played the Northside Festival (see bio for other interesting stuff.)
