Our current bassist is going to continue playing with us until we find a replacement (recording, current shows). He's in school and doesn't think he will be able to continue with us if we tour in the future, ect.

Just a few requirements we ask:
-must own equipment, good enough for live shows.
-a positive/serious attitude (we're all a bunch of goofballs, but we're serious when we have to be)
-flexible schedule (lots of shows, weeknights, weekends)
-we'd prefer someone who doesn't play with a pick, but it's not a must if are really proficient with one.

We currently practice in North Woodstock, NH...we have a member who drives from Berwick, ME and Somerville, MA. So car pooling from these locations is a possibility. We will be relocating in southern NH area sometime this fall so the travel will only be temporary.

please contact us if you are interested:

or call tom @ 603.781.0993

thanks.

everyone needs fucking bass players, we got one though woohoo

umm isn't spaldin' looking for a band.

Tom, see if zak (ex goratory) is interested. He's up in NH now.

Being in Porphyria would be sick. Butttt Im workin with my hetero- life mate singer, and we're real close to getting our band back together actually. Sorry I cant help.

pooplike!! good luck tom!

I would fuckin try out if I didn't live in Needham... You guys are amazing.

I mapquested needham to North Woodstock and got 2 and a half hours. How far of a drive is it for the Somerville guy?

bump

Best of luck to ya! Somebody fucking try out, I know there are good bassists out there!

hey tom wanna fight?

Geez Tom maybe you guys should change your name now.
:p

i'd do it... but my schedule isnt really too great... also i think you live too far away. but yeah... i will let you know whats up in the immediate future... my scheduler should be changing around soon.

I play a mean bass*, I'll try out!





*I don't, infact I'm really bad, but I do use my fingers and can head bang seriously none stop for 3 hours

I caught you a delicious bass.

we called him yesterday, he actually hurt his wrist at al's. Though, if we're still looking for someone this fall he might be able to do it.

yeah, like I said though, the travel to woodstock will only be temporary until dane (drummer) relocates further south. Or until we get a practice space down here.

it's 93 north to exit 32, if you go faster than the speed limit it should be below 2 hours from somerville.

It sucks that so many guitarists take offense to being asked to play bass....otherwise there would be so much more bass talent out there.

I would have no probs playin bass in a band, but Porph would be outta the question, distance wise, and schedule wise.
But, idle guitarists that can actually play, consider this!

i got a nasty picture of the bone sticking out of his hand. that was a fun night.

Yeah that was sick..... He made a fist for me and the bone popped right out!

Josh_hates_you said:

why don't you quit the drums AND the guitar and learn bass?

Terence said:

maybe they should just steal your bassplayer...

maybe they should

DEATH2ALL said:

nasty!

THAT'S IT, WE'RE STEALING STAPLES!

I hardly play my drums. like 20 minutes a week. I no longer have a guitar available here to play. I actually had a bass before I had a drum set. I owed someone money and gave them the bass.

My vote goes towards stealing staples. Porphyria rules.

Since I live in North Woodstock, down the street from Dane, and can hear Porphyria practice from my house, I'd say somebody better get in on this shit, I see these guys practice a lot, and they are fucking going somewhere quick, so who cares about the drive, its worth it.

*bumpage* because Porphyria pwns!

if I wasn't playing guitar for Shroud, I'd seriously consider trying out. I hope you guys find someone soon!

KOK's right, Guitarists shouldn't EVER take offence to playing bass, it's a completely different animal, you're no longer a guitarist, you're part of the rhythm section, which is IMO just as important then talented guitarists and a killer vocalist.

How many bands can you name that would be soooooooo much better if they had a great bassist?

Good luck with the search Tom, I'll keep my ears open for anyone that would be worthy for Porphyria

PWNAG3!!!

scratch my interest... i suck now...no more endurance or speed, for the time being. god i cant believe how bad i fucked myself :(

*bump for the boyband Porphyria!*

j/k

someone better try out soon!

I'd be interested in playing only I have no transportation!

If your still looking when you move a bit closer south. You can contact me. blehtallica@hotmail.com
4 years of experience, transportation, dedicated, and I have a very nice Ampeg fullstack.

Ahh, that sucks guys. Were you not so far away and I not wrapped up with shit with Hatred, I'd try out. Sucks you're losing him though, he's a pretty good bassist.

Dan isn't going to fill in for much longer, so we really need to get on this bassist situation. BSV is interested in trying out, is anyone else?

I wish you guys were in the RI sticks instead of the NH ones. Those tracks from the radio show are killer.

destroyyoualot is a really good bass player.

Why, thank you, sir. That's right neighborly of ya.

destroyyoualot said:

no shit, I wish we didn't currently practice in such a retarded location as it's really intimidating to people. That should only be a temporary issue until we get a location further south.

i suck now so i dont think i could handle it... well... i could actually...but it would hurt.
