Heya, we have an established indie band (similar genre to Sam Roberts, Pumpkins, Radiohead, Elliot Smith) that plays 10-20 shows a year, and we're currently recording album #1 over winter 2008/09. What we need is a chick bass player to provide some visual dynamic on stage. Currently we are a four piece, all vocalists, rhythm guitar, bass, keys and drums. Our current bass guy would move to lead guitar when we find the right girl.

About you:
1. Be decent @ your instrument and possess your own bass rig (meaning you own, rent or borrow it yourself!)
2. If you sing, that's a plus. But the style of singing that would be a huge asset is a girl with a sweet voice, like Ingrid Michaelson or Metric... not throaty/low/funky/operatic.
3. Be 19-30 years old looking
4. Be available two nights a week from about 7.30-9.30, plus shows.


About us:
Assets include:
1. Lots of vehicles to haul shit around
2. A free venue to practice in 2x a week
3. All of us have jobs so we can finance things like road trips for shows
4. All the gear to put on a show in a small venue
5. We reinvest most show revenue back into the band to fund unpaid gigs, replacing band equipment, etc. But also the band pays for the occasional pizza.
6. We're good guys, you'll see.

If you're into this, email Brandon @ [email protected]. I'll take this ad down when we find someone, so if it's up and it's a long time since I posted it, we don't have anyone yet :) - Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:18pm Edited: Tue, 19 Aug 2008 12:20pm

Kaitie Sly has been honing her musical talents since the age of eight. One of the original students of the Lebeau-Petersen Productions music academy, she has the professional training required for a proper base to cover many musical genres.

Together with three other dedicated students, the young rock band, Scottish Fish was formed in 1996, where Kaitie covered the keyboards, flute and vocals for 6 years. It was gigging with this quartet that developed the performing abilities and stage leadership that she has today. Sly performed on the educational film: Kids Talk Diabetes, with the Scottish Fish, which won the Freddy Award in New York City in 2001.

In 2002, Kaitie was awarded the bass anchor position in the Vic High R&B Band. Under the tutorage of Eric Emde, she has learned about the hard work and dedication required to succeed in the music industry. Moreover, it was gigging with this band that allowed Miss Sly to sit in with the twelve piece showcase extravaganza, The Midnights.

Together with Aidan Knight, Kaitie helped formed the rock-pop band, Black Tie Social in 2003, where she played bass and sang back-up vocals. In 2005, Black Tie recorded an EP at Infinity Studios which helped them to play the Much Does Victoria gig in August, 2005, along-side bands like Kincaide, Kuba, Moka Only, and Current Swell.

Sly has had the privilege of sharing the stage with many great musical mentors namely Robbie King, April Gisleson, Steve Duban, Gene Hardy, Louise Rose, Anita Bonkowski, Connie Lebeau, Neils Petersen, Martha Reeves, The Swollen Members, Bill Johnson, Nick Blaskow, Rick May, Justin Hewitt, Paul Wainright, Ted Gowan, Al Hannigan, members of Jacksoul, KC Porter and many more.

In 2007, Kaitie created her own company, Steel Vibrations Inc. with which she does contract work in the music field, as well as in Visual Arts and Modelling.

Kaitie is currently implementing various projects with Steel Vibrations Inc. and playing with Mathew Christopher Davidson.
