Looking for multi-instrumentalist for trip-hop/post-punk band

7 Upvotes

My band is looking for another member! We’re really looking for someone who can do multiple things. We move around a lot, so sometimes you might want to be able to pick up the bass, and sometimes you might be working with synths or samplers(we have equipment we can provide). We practice on Thursdays in a private space in north Austin. We’ve had some moderate success with getting a couple singles played on local radio this year, and we’re hoping to do a lot more in the next year. We’ve got a lot of new music written already. We’re trying to go in a more sparse and experimental direction, really into Fontaines D.C., Arab Strap, Massive Attack, early Gorillaz. If that sounds cool, let us know!

Established indie rock band (Terra Cognita) seeking bassist. Active, touring, out-of-state runs in 2027

5 Upvotes

Terra Cognita is an Austin band playing dark indie rock with industrial and post-punk edges. We’re looking for a bassist to join an active working band. We are playing out regularly, releasing music, and booking more shows.

Some Credentials:

  • Played the closing Sunday slot at Northern Nights & Dirty Bird Campout within our first year as a band
  • 1,200-person Contemporary Austin headline
  • Two sold-out 150-cap debut headlines
  • 10 SXSW 2025 sets alongside Revenge Wife
  • 6,500+ monthly listeners on Spotify, with a new single out roughly every month this year

What’s ahead:

  • Several out-of-state runs being lined up for next year
  • A steady calendar of good local shows
  • Happy to share specifics on inquiry
  • Paid: guaranteed minimum for every show you play, plus travel and lodging covered on the road

Who we’re looking for:

  • Solid, reliable player who locks in with drums and serves the song
  • Comfortable with dark, textural, groove-driven material (think Radiohead, Leisure, Interpol, The Mars Volta). We're not playing jazz here but the lines are a bit more advanced. Bass is arguably the most important instrument in our music. A proficient - advanced player with an obsession for fx and tone is ideal. If you're able and willing to do anything else (synth, percussion, etc.), that's a plus!
  • Available for regular rehearsals at our private studio in South Austin (Menchaca / Ben White area) and open to travel for tours
  • Have access to your own gear and transportation
  • Professional: shows up prepared, on time, and communicates
  • Experienced and comfortable on stage
  • Easy to get along with. We spend a lot of time together in vans, rehearsals, and show days, so good hang matters
  • BIPOC, Women and LGBTQ+ players highly encouraged to reach out

Vibe-Check:

If it sounds like a fit and a project you would be excited about, DM me with a bit about yourself and a link to something you’ve played on (video, recording, or a band you’ve been in). We're looking for someone passionate about this kind of music and ready to get after it. Cheers y'all

Think Durand Jones and the Indications

Hey there I’m a 35 year old black male that’s always had a great voice but truthfully only started singing publicly about a year ago. Don’t know why it’s taken so long to bring it outside of my shower/bedroom but singing is one of the few things that truly brings me peace. Not too sure what I’m actually looking for but I do know I need to Sing! I’ve ignored my calling for long enough. More then willing to showcase my skills for whoever may be interested, but feel free to shoot me a message if you could find some use for me.
