SUSPYRE SEEKING REPLACEMENT.....

MEGALOUD · January 25th, 2008, 09:24 PM

SUSPYRE is seeking a talented and committed drummer to complete the band's permanent band lineup. Their current drummer Jeff Willet has left the band due to schedule conflicts and unforeseen circumstances.

Applicants MUST possess the following:

1. A demonstrated ability to play with impeccable timing and accuracy.
3. Confidence in themselves but also a willingness to be a team player.
4. Proficiency in playing double bass and songs with odd time signatures.
5. Residency in the United States (NJ/PA/NY residency is preferred).

6. At least 21 years old.
7. A familiarity with the SUSPYRE catalog.
8. A flexible work schedule, since should you land the gig you will be asked to do extensive gigging with the band and weekend recording sessions.

Applicants should submit the following:

1. A recording (on CD audio or DVD video) of yourself playing these 2 Suspyre songs, “April in the Fall” and “Last of the Survivors”. They must be raw live recordings. If you need sheet music or a click track of the songs, please send us an email requesting it. Do not send us clips of songs previously recorded in other bands.

2. A photo of yourself and links to your myspace or web site.
3. A brief biography outlining your experience and gear setup.
4. Contact address, e-mail address, and phone number should we wish to audition you further.

Please send your bio and demo materials in video or audio format to:

Jill Hughes

Suspyre’s Manager
721 Coleman Street

Easton, PA 18042 USA

* Please note that demos will not be returned.

If you have further questions, e-mail Suspyre’s manager Jill Hughes at usaprogmusic@gmail.com

SUSPYRE has recently been invited to play at PROGPOWER EUROPE in October 2008. A small European tour is in the works. They will also be playing at NIKSTOCK in upstate New York in June, and at various local venues throughout the year. They are currently in the studio recording their 3rd album.

I really hope someone can step up and fill in the slot. This is one great band and there for a good chance for someone to be part of something great.

still looking for a permanent drummer ... they have a drummer they use for live shows for now, but they are looking for somebody with double bass drumming capabilities at 170-180

They are open to a broader age range now but at least 18 years old. I will be announcing a very awesome guest drummer for the CD Release party and ProgPower Europe show soon.
