We're a band called Drivetown. Check us out at www.myspace.com/drivetown

We're in search of a bassist - we're all in our early twenties, so someone a little, er, 'younger' might make sense, but we're open to most things - so why not the age of a bassist?

In all seriousness, we've just released our first single and it is beginning to make a bit of headway. We're currently recording an album and have enough contacts and clout to ensure it gets a full commercial release. You'll be dealing with three technically proficient young men, so the ability to play your instrument in a technical, showy fashion is preferable (that just means you gotta be good at it).

What we want is someone willing to pour their blood, sweat and tears into music for the next little while and see where it takes them. We can offer long nights, crap pay, interesting conversations and a whole heap of fun.

Hey, just looking for some fellow guitarists/bass players/drummers to jam with and i suppose eventually start a band. I'm an intermediate guitarist of 2.5 years so no need to be experienced cos im not. Only over 18 please, playing blues/rock etc, jamming to improve skills and start up a band later on

The Graveyard Whistlers are currently looking for a female backing vocalist who can play keyboard or guitar. Material is all original.
Style is a mix of folk, alt, indie. Influences like Radiohead, Damien Rice, Jeff Buckley, Dylan, Amanda Palmer, Bloc Party, The National, The Killers, Ryan Adams and many more. Age between 25 -35 is ideal, but not necessary.

Broken Season is mainly an originals band who has recently had a major rejig and is now a four piece featuring members from brutally frank and Soulsion.

In order to relaunch the band and MAKE SOME MONEY we are heading up HEAVY ROCK HEAVEN - please go to www.heavyrockheaven.co.nz to checkout.

We are looking for a committed bass player - by this we mean a reliable person with their own high standard gear, who is able to practise twice a week and gig most weekends (including out of town work). We have our own practise room in Penrose.

Original work will be involved as well - we have an album of material and further time booked at york st.

Please email me at tony@brokenseason.co.nz or call me on 0277599336 for a chat. This is urgent as we have dates booked for NOV and DEC and need our replacement ready to go ASAP!!

Heya!

This is a google video of freebording down a street in Napier a few years ago (2005):

Quite an awesome video clip IMHO, but what is the music track used, and who is the band?

Hope someone knows

- looking forward to a reply

I was listening to an old recording of Channel Z from February 2005, and they played this very catchy song. Sounds a lot like the Beatles influence, later power pop like the Smithereens. Male vocals and the lyrics as best I have them:

baby, you’ve got me shaking in my boots yeah
baby , you’ve got me quaking in my boots yeah
girl, oh girl, it’s alright
baby my hearts shakin like an earthquake
baby,my heart is shakin’ like an earthquake
ooh girl oh girl, it’s alright, oh oh oh oh oh oh

I’m in a state im in a panic yeah
my heart is ?? soul and its scaring me to death
I feel the ground beneath me moving
getting stronger yeah
getting stronger yeah

baby doint you know that I want you
baby don’t you know that I need you
girl, oh girl
it aint right
baby why cant you say that you love me
baby why cant you say that you love me
oh girl, oh girl its alright
its alright
its alright
it’s alright

Any ideas? I'm guessing it's a NZ band. Google hasn't given me anything nor have my song ID apps.

Back in about 99 there was a band in NZ that had a song playing on the radio which was a cover to Poison by Bardot (the aussie popstars band, like true bliss). It was a rock/heavy metal cover. Does anyone know who this band was?

Thanks
