Rael's profile

Thumpermonkey Lives! are looking for a new bass player. We are based in London. In previous years we've veered from progressive rock, through sludgy , Melvin's style rock, and now are writing more orchestrated post-rock material with a prog edge. We have recently completed an album to be released in December, and are negotiating distribution with a small independent label. For a brand new song from our latest album, browse here. http://www.vimeo.com/6018209 We'll be looking for somebody to be: - creatively involved in new material, and happy to learn old stuff - to start gigging in early 2010, mainly in London and the surrounding area. - to be actively involved in promotion of new material You can download our previous two studio albums for free at: http://www.tootingbizarre.org/Thumpermonkey%20Lives! - (please note, link sometimes doesn't work - the exclaimation mark is part of the URL).

Some stuff about Rael:

Written, produced and played music in a range of styles, but have come to choose mainly band type formats of late - other genres I've written in include Modern and Romantic classical (mainly piano works) and Electronic / IDM.
Classically trained Pianist to Degree Level standard.
Experienced Drummer in 4 bands, including Metal, Grunge and more Mainstream Alternative.
Experienced Guitarist, Songwriter and Front Person in 2 Bands. I am a very tight rhythm player, but am less adept in the field of Steve Vai imitations.
Can play Bass (guitar) when required, for example when the Bassist gets food poisoning before the gig.
Very studio experienced, primarily in the major studios in and around London.
Audio Professional, with a lot of knowledge and Sound Recording ability, mainly working in Sound and Music Post Production for Film at present.
Seriously large number of recording contacts and opportunities.
