We're looking for a Bassist for a well established band called Josh Barsell and The Sleepers. We are actively playing shows on a monthly basis and have a full length record out on iTunes. We will be recording an EP with new material in the next few months as well.
The album and the live show have received a lot of amazing response so were looking to move forward very quickly.
Please read the following below and if you're interested, send us your link or a picture, a band resume( your influences, links to previous bands etc...), and links to music that you have done, that would fit this band. PLEASE include all this information in your email. We are not looking for a hired gun, but rather someone who sees the potential in this band and wants to help move it forward.
WHAT WERE LOOKING FOR:
* Must have gear and transportation to and from practice and shows.
* Have experience playing in bands and doing live shows.

Josh Barsell and The Sleepers is a Silverlake based band consisting of ex-members of many successful
bands (Strike anywhere, Dirty Little Secret, and WarTapes). Still a remarkably young
band, The Sleepers are the brainchild of Josh Barsell, former front man for the now disseminated
Transit. When word of mouth surfaced that Barsell's new project was debuting at Club Moscow in
mid November The Sleepers had 300 people in attendance with a line around the block. Since then
they have played several exclusive events at Bardot, CineSpace, Harvard and Stone and Hemingways. Josh Barsell and The
Sleepers have recently signed a publishing deal with Desert Drive Publishing, a subdivision of Poison Tree, that will have
their songs shopped to appear in many movies, TV shows, and commercials.
Barsell grew up in Boston on a steady diet of the Charlatan's, the Verve, Fleetwood Mac, Ian Brown, and T-
Rex. He began writing songs and got his first band together at 21, after giving up a touring schedule as
a drum and bass DJ. His most recent solo effort, "What's the Plan" was recorded at Sunset Sound, by
Jason Mott (Beck, Rilo Kiley, Metallica.) "What's The Plan" has been praised by such esteemed talent as
Beck, Danny Harrison, and Trent Reznor, and is available on iTunes, Rhapsody, Emusic, Napster.
Their sound is a heartfelt and occasionally cacophonous reimagining of fuzzy guitar driven British rock in
the 90's. On record Josh Barsell and The Sleepers will remind you that lush evocative pop craft is not a
thing of the past, and live they will grab you by the ears and shake you awake. The Sleepers guarantee a
polished, energetic performance, and built in following.
"I really dig their sound and vibe, the recording came out great!" - Beck
". . .Sounds like Oasis if Noel Gallagher wasn't dead. He is dead. Isn't he?"- Zero Selon, Vice Magazine
"They're an amazing band and I wouldn't be surprised if they get signed right away!"- BoJesse ( BJC Events )
Some of our influences include: Oasis, The Verve, The Beatles, Fleetwood Mac, Cardingans, The Charletons, Ian Brown and many British 90's bands that are classic or contemporary.
