Zen Conspiracy is a Longmont-based band that writes, records, and performs original music. Our music tips toward the heavier side but remains grounded in reggae melodies. Our style is influenced by 90's Thrash, Death Metal, and Reggae.

Our bass guitarist has recently chosen to leave the band due to directional differences. This means were in the market for a new one. We’re open minded about music influences, but desire a backbone drive that seats well with our overall sound – a well-controlled rhythm and melody capable of sustained beauty and violence. Ideally a bassist that is well disciplined in the art of Reggae & Metal styles. Our sound is pretty unique as it blends the two genres. From a backbone perspective a finger playing 4-6 string bassist that can bring and drive a reggae groove would blend in very nicely. A candidate must be able to contribute to our music writing and be able to jive with our bands direction and vision. Our current bass player is willing to assist in acclimating in a new member for a seamless transition of our recorded material.

Being able to cover the 3 songs on this profile is a huge plus but not required pre-requisite.
Requirements are few, but those that exist are important. Available to rehearse 2-3 times per week (evenings around 6pm and/or weekends), available to play live shows twice monthly. Financial stability and maturity (i.e. you don’t need a ride, gas money or someone to bail you out of jail). You’re a team player willing and able to contribute to something that is bigger than the sum of its parts. Old enough to drink and smart enough to do it responsibly (this doesn’t mean you have to drink). We’re an amateur band with a professional attitude and work ethic so we need you to be the same.

We prefer you have your own instrument but gear is not an issue.
