Boston "neo Jam Band" Mondo Gecko is looking for a new bass player.
Our most audible influences include: Phish, Grateful Dead, Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, Disco Biscuits, moe. , String Cheese Incident, and Umphrey's McGee. There are of course lots more, but if you dig those bands you'll probably love playing with MG!
- Here’s what we are looking for:
- An great bass player that’s able to keep great time, groove hard, and seriously improvise with other musicians
- Vocals are a big plus (backing or lead)
- Songwriting and composition skills are also a big plus.
- Career oriented – someone who is willing to make a serious investment of time and energy for long term success… no hired guns or people in a ton of different projects
- A cool, down to earth team player.
- Music education, understanding of theory, and ability to read are all a plus.
- Ideally between 21 (so we can play bars) and ~30 years old
- Love of jamming, good times, and great people.
- Understanding of the “jam” and festival scene, as well as an appreciation and understanding for the bands that have come before us.
- Synth/keys bass on the side could be cool.
Here are some things about us:
- We play shows all around New England and New York.
- Several headlining festival dates confirmed for 2010.
- We have the coolest fans on the planet (can you say Gecko costumes, capes, and glasses?)
- We are working on our debut album.
- We regularly play shows with acts such as The Breakfast, The Brew, U-Melt, and Strange Design.
- We’ve played at venues such as Harpers Ferry, Middle East, Stone Church, and Showcase Live.
- We’ve got a great tour van.
- We plan on playing 4-10 shows a month and like to practice at least 2-3 times a week.
- We want to tour the WORLD!
If you or someone you know is interested, send an email with a little info about yourself and a sound clip or link of you playing (solo or with another band) to
