ABOUT

contact mercedesavenueofficial if interested

We are a local sacramento Post-Hardcore band. we started off Pop-Punk and through time, hard work and finding the right members the band evolved to what it is today. we have opened for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus (twice), 12 Stones, Secondhand Serenade, Incredible Me, Alesana, Like Moths to Flames, Get Scared, Jamies Elsewhere, Elitist, Palisades, Iwrestledabearonce, Emery, The Word Alive and (as of February 2015) we'll have opened for The Animal in Me and Jonny Craig. We've Played the "Rock The Boat Long Beach" 2015 Music Festival and we just finished our First EP "Never Look Back" which was recorded with Shane Gould of the Animal in Me (who guest vocals on one of our songs)

we have been through so much as a band. we've gained and lost members and while we have a strong core group, we are still looking for the last pieces to our puzzle. so, this is where you come in:

we are looking for 2 members; a drummer and a lead guitarist who can also help with song writing. Our band is made up of an interesting sound that needs 3 guitarists (2 dueling leads and a strong rhythm) and we are looking for a lead guitarist to strengthen our sound. as for drummers, we have all been in multiple bands so we know what we are looking for. we need someone who can grove and kick some serious double pedal ass.

***IF YOU CAN SING/SCREAM AND PLAY YOUR INSTRUMENT LET ME KNOW****
requirements:
age- we don't care how old you are. if you have the sound we are looking for, we're happy (however, just realize that we are a band of guys in their early 20s)
gender- guy or girl, we don't care. see reasoning above
transportation- you have to be able to get to and from practices and gigs
money- (calm down, you don't have to pay to be in the band) we have a space at the House of Hits rehearsal studio and we pay rent every month (split between 6 people makes it very cheap so its totally manageable). also, when it comes to recordings and new merch we all chip in an even share.
Gear- we don't expect you to have top of the line gear that's worth a couple thousand dollars (of course it would be nice, but lets be real hear). all we ask is that you have a professional set up.

so, if you want be in a band that's like a family and is close to breaking out of this scene, send me a message at mercedesavenueofficial
