Hi! We're Ari Voxx & The Sad Lads, an established band that has been recording and performing locally and regionally since 2021. Our sound is heavily inspired by the moods and vibes of 80s/90s new-wave and pop artists. The band is seeking a guitar player fluent in the styles of Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Stereolab, and Siouxsie & The Banshees. The music is heavy in effects (reverb, delay, and chorus galore); non-traditional forms of guitar styles and sounds are encouraged.
Some things we're looking for:
- Primarily seeking guitar, but keyboard skills and music production knowledge is a plus
- We gig locally often (1-4 times per month, depending on availability and opportunities), with plans to tour more regularly (1-2 weeks at a time for now)
- Ability to record quality tracks at home for regular projects is expected
- We rehearse 1-2 times a month in Chantilly VA, usually late evenings
- Writing and arranging capabilities are expected
- While you can put your own spin on our existing material, we expect you to learn a rough approximation of the previously recorded guitar parts
If the above applies to you and you are interested please send us an email and provide live and recorded examples of your playing. We'd like to be ready to start gigging again by Spring 2026.
We have music on all streaming platforms, and you can check us out on IG (@ari.voxx) or our site: www.AriVoxx.com
