Gigging Band Needs Bass Player - Must Be Into Indie Rock!

Fields & Forests is an indie rock band based in Northern Virginia. We have recently recorded a full-length album and plan to release it once we find a new bass player (the last guy moved away) who is up-to-speed on our established songs and ready to play live. We're even more excited to write new material with this new member when the time comes.

Our sound is currently influenced by shoegaze, alt-country and a touch of the psychedelic. Older bands/musicians we like include everything from Brian Wilson, The Velvet Underground, Pink Floyd, The Smiths, Pavement, REM, Radiohead, Songs: Ohia, Wilco, The Silver Jews, Deftones, Sparklehorse, Elliott Smith, Bill Callahan and tons more. Also into a lot current stuff like Wednesday, MJ Lenderman, Cameron Winter, Geese, This is Lorelei, Caroline, etc. PLEASE ONLY INQUIRE IF YOUR TASTE OVERLAP!

We're mostly middle-aged dudes but super inclusive and very open to anyone of any age or gender. We're also pretty much leftists in terms of our politics, want to engage a bit more in that space when possible (benefit shows, etc) so it's important that at a minimum you're left-of-center.

We practice a couple of times a month in either Sterling or Ashburn (but if you have a space that's a reasonable drive, happy to consider). Our goal is to gig monthly in the DMV, which we had been doing consistently before this hiatus. You can check out a few of our songs on our Bandcamp page by searching Fields & Forests. We're also on Instagram, where you can find some videos. Also, happy to email you other tracks.

If you think you'd be a good fit - please reach out!
