The Dawn Chose Orion + Band in Aurora, CO

SEEKING

ABOUT

The Dawn Chose Orion are looking for some new bandmates and/or fill-ins for touring and local shows!

TDCO used to play a lot of shows (plus 3 tours) from 2011-2016 but went on hiatus from 2017 until our recent "comeback show" this year. Long story short, my partner has been extremely sick since 2014 and had made it hard to commit to being an active band. However, her health is improving, we recently headlined at the Roxy Theatre on 12/8/23, and we have a new album almost completely recorded! Now, we're looking to get back to playing more shows and most importantly... to get back to touring again! That's maybe our biggest thing we're looking for is people who want to play shows and/or go on tour! Currently, we're a 2 piece with myself singing/songwriting/producing/guitar/bass and our drummer/producer, Justin. We're looking for a bassist, 1-2 guitarists, and/or maybe even a keyboardist/DJ. At the moment, we currently have my rhythm guitars, bass, and all the EDM/Hip Hop stuff on backing tracks. We would love to have more band members to create a fuller live sound, help out with touring/driving far, an online presence (Tik Tok especially), and selling Denver ticket presales.

Our newer stuff is still our signature "Prog Metal/EDM" sound but modernized with trap/hip hop, djent, and other newer underground EDM genres. Our older stuff was thrashier, more "shreddy", and had a lot more screaming/growling. However, we're toning down a lot of that stuff to be more groove oriented, melodic, and catchy. Also, myself being Asian and Pacific Islander mixed... I've been throwing in a lot of modern and traditional Asian influences into the mix as well!

Also, we're a futuristic concept band. So, our "story", lyrics, and artwork is all sci-fi and anime/manga influenced.

We currently practice in my basement in Aurora on Tuesday and Friday in the evenings. We have a full PA system w/ mixing board, backing track Zoom R16, drum kit with the kick triggered, and my Shure microphone for my vocals. We also have t-shirts, business cards, stickers, pins, and koozies for merch.

I have both guitar tabs and bass tabs to help speed up the "getting back to playing live" process. lol You might need a free app called TuxGuitar to use it but it might work on Guitar Pro as well. Just lemme know what you need to help you learn the songs.
