The Cambrian Explosion is now actively looking for a lead singer.

We are a new project made up of the usual ex/current-members of many other bands.

All songs are still "work in progress" and samples are from a recent jam.
http://www.myspace.com/thecambrianexplosionbc

- All original
- All members 30+ yrs old (and under 40)
- Sylte is a mix between the soundscapes/mood of Tool (not demonstrated in the samples) and the straight up heavy rocking of COC (Wiseblood era)
- We are currently a 4 piece and have some vocals in the group but would prefer a full-time singer

We are not in a rush to find a singer so we will be looking for a very good fit only.

We will be auditioning Friday nights as needed.

We would like people trying out to rehearse to the sample songs posted then come sing to them in our rehearsal space.

As far as vocal styles go, we're open to pretty much anything and would like the potential singer to get as much out of the project as we all do.

We are not looking to be a full-time touring band. We all have jobs and plan on keeping them.

We do expect to do some travelling for shows that are worthwhile since playing live is what its all about.

We currently rehearse one night a week on Friday. So time committment is low.

Email or post here.

Hey there, I have to check with my fiance and see how she ells about me leaving her alone for a night first, but I think that I'm ready to come out and give it a try if you're still looking. I shoot you an e-mail later today or tomorrow and let you know for sure.

Hey. Did you all know that if you don't show up your audition doesn't count?

Man, you guys kick ass! There's a part of me that would love to come try out just because you are in fact, so kick ass, but the other part of me says "wait, you have 0 experience, these guys rock. figure it out." Maybe I'll try writting some lyrics to a song or two of yours and if you're still looking by then, I'll give it a shot. Would LOVE to sing I just need to grow the balls to step up and do it I think...

Either way you guys are tight, hope you find what you're looking for. I'll be at your next show either way if I can help it! - Sat, 3 May 2008 6:47pm

I wrote some stuff for Halo that I think fits pretty good, but I can't seem to write over the other two songs on your My Space.
I'd bring an Entombed kind of vocal to your stuff, but you may be looking more for a Mariah Carey thing, so I don't know if I should come down before the Caustic Thought show and have a go.
Your call.
I also heard last night you have a certain talented chef/vocalist trying out. If that works out, it'd be awesome. - Sat, 10 May 2008 12:55pm Edited: Sun, 11 May 2008 12:58pm
