Matthew Lee here from the band Lancaster formerly located out of Niceville, FL. I've relocated the band to Orlando. and I'm searching for a Bassist, Lead Guitarist, and Drummer with the time and dedication to be on the road full time.
Before I tell you about the band here is the video we filmed mid tour last year.

I would like to be able to get the band up and running full force by the end of October and be ready to start touring by the end of November. most songs have already written so to start off i'm looking for people to come in learn the songs and improve on them with each persons own style and abilities. I don't want to recreate what was done I want to improve upon it
Lancaster has been around for over 2 years now.
Originally called "These Words are Water" the band started as a solo project in 2004 by Duane Mays In Memphis TN. in 2005 Duane Relocated to Niceville FL and began searching for members to form a band. During this time I was in Atlanta touring as the bassist with the speed/pop-metal band "Vis Vires". at end of 2005 I moved back to Niceville and met up with my old friend Duane. right as this time the drummer for These Words are Water called it quits and I promptly became a member of the band. taking a position as co-songwriter and drummer.
through the end of 06' many songs were written, and recorded, and lots of shows were played.
in 07' is where the band really started to take shape. we started off the year with 15 shows and then hopped in the studio with Kevin Woerner(the gutarist from toothandnail records band 238) then hit the road with regional touring. got picked up by 4 radio stations 2 local and 2 regional. performed several live on air interviews and acoustic sets. mid 2007 I had been helping write alot more songs. and we decided to change the band name to "Lancaster" to go along with a newer more energetic sound. and the changes in members throughout. two small tours later we ended up on the road with The Action Design from California(former members of Tsunami Bomb)
2007 was over and we started negotiations with several record labels and touring agencies. we also aquired sponsorships from rotosound guitar strings, Spector bass guitars, Shine drums, and two t-shirt companies. at this time Duane made the decision to leave the band and pursue normal life he left the band in my hands. a few weeks later with some new members we were back on the road. This time with Dignan(TX) and All Get Out(SC). we returned from tour and our members decided to go back to school and their jobs. which brings me here. I'm tired of Niceville and ready to find some musicians with the same dedication i have to being on the road.
so here's what I'm looking for
Lead Guitarist, Drummer, and Bassist, and possibly a female vocalist/keyboardist
Must have pro touring gear
Must have tour/studio experience
Ability to sing is a major plus
Must have excellent stage presence ***
a place to practice can be a major plus as well.
also I am not a spotlight hog, and am willing to share the frontman position.
