ABOUT

Hello! We are an LA-based indie rock band looking for a keyboardist who can sing (guitar playing a huge plus, horn playing also a plus) and who’s ready to hit the road with us! We have two albums out, 7 national tours under our belt, a manager, a lawyer, a publicist and a fairly good sense of humor. Our style is similar to “Death Cab For Cutie,” “The Police,” “Jimmy Eat World,” “Foo Fighters,” etc. We’re looking for someone in their 20's who is really passionate about music and ready to work hard. This is our career and life. No drugs. Between the age of 21-29. Preferably you would have really good hair (that one's negotiable). Go to ./thehanks to hear our songs and shoot a message to jenniferatnmanagement with "New Member" in the subject line if you’re interested. Thanks!
