ABOUT

Cedar Rapids/Iowa City area alternative/indie rock band Arias looking for a dedicated bassist to play our songs with us. We are an all originals band with about an album's worth of finished songs and countless other song ideas. Our current lineup is vocalist/guitarist, and drummer. Songwriting is handled by me (vocals/guitar), and we are looking for a bassist who is passionate about their instrument and can play to our songs. We are both age 20, and are looking for someone within the same age range (17-26 or so). Mainly looking for someone within the Cedar Rapids/Iowa City areas. Band practices will be at least once a week, held in Cedar Rapids. We hope to start gigging soon, and we plan on doing so fairly frequently. Our genres include Indie/alternative rock, Shoegaze, Post-rock, Psychedelic Rock, Post-punk, Dream Pop, and Experimental. Some of our influences include Radiohead, The Smiths, My Bloody Valentine, The Verve, Pink Floyd, Sigur Ros, Muse, Slowdive, Oasis, The Beatles, The Smashing Pumpkins, Ride, Pixies, among others. If interested, please contact me (Erik) via email or text.
