5 Minute Wait is looking for a vocalist.

We aren't looking for any spacific vocal style. I mean the music, pretty much, is going to be defined by the style of vocals that are brought to the table. It's pretty diverse music if I do say so myself.

The questions we are asking are: Do you have anything that we could listen to? What kind of bands have you played with in the past? Do you have recording/live performance experience? Would you be able to jam 3 times a week and later in the evening? We tend to have practise on Thurs & Fri at around 10:00 - 12:00ish and Sundays at around 6:00ish. Oh yeah, how old are you? Not that it matters too much.

We've had a couple of screamo people come out, a couple of rockers and a hardcore punk dude as well. They all sounded good and seemed to fit the music. It just wasn't what they were looking for or it was bad timing... blah blah. You know the music scene.

We do have a P.A. set up at the jam spot. It's not the best P.A. or the nicest to look at, but it works. I think it's from the 1970's and it really looks it's age. :o) But it's served me well over the years so... Yeah, we have one.


Check out our sound and gimme a shout if your interested. http://www.5minutewait.com phone # 250-896-5824 & my name is Mat

Ciao fer now.

I agree that a vocalist does define a sound, but I'm wondering what would compliment the style in which you like to play? - Wed, 12 Jul 2006 10:43pm Edited: Wed, 12 Jul 2006 10:44pm

Maybe a hybrid of Daryl Palumbo, the guy from Clutch, Josh Homme from Queens of the Stone Age, and Matt Heafy from Trivium for a vocalist... That would be cool! :o)

All said and done, we are looking for someone that can sing well and also who can get all gravely when the time comes. Know what I mean?

Take a listen... http://www.5minutewait.com

...we're not hardcore metal by any means. We have metalish riffs but there's also funk and rock riffs mixed in as well so, I guess you could call us funk-metal er something...

Thanks

I will give Steve a call tonight. After listening to your tunes again I am very interested. You replied to my thread about a heavier band yesterday, this fits the bill pretty closely to what I want to do.

Hey, I gave your stuff a listen and would be interested in trying out for your spot. I've been singing for 14 years and am influenced by David Draiman, David Usher, Corey Taylor (Stone Sour more than Slipknot), Tom Waits and various classical singers. I was wondering what the best time of day to call was. you can e-mail me or post reply here as I check both regularly.

~Cheers.

P.S. In case it matters, I'm 28. - Thu, 20 Jul 2006 12:37pm

Hey Mat, I think I'm still one of the guys you're seriously looking at. Steve said he was gonna give me a call this week. Anyways, I've been continuing to write shit and I was just wondering what, If any, feelings you guys had about politics and political statement in your music? - Wed, 2 Aug 2006 11:53am
