ABOUT

this HOLY rodeo! is a working band that performs in the tri-state area. we are currently in need of another guitarist (multi-instrumentalists very much encouraged) to fill out our show. solid chops are a must!

we are looking for a dedicated NYC (we practice in williamsburg) musician around our age (20-25) with experience performing, reliable gear, dedication and work ethic (we rehearse once a week, and do business zoom calls once a week, on top of outside work we do to manage ourselves), and creativity! music theory knowledge and wide music taste are very helpful!

the audition process is simple - inquire and we will send you the material you need to learn. then, we have you come by at a rehearsal, hang out, and play with us!

about us: we are an art-punk group with interactive performance art shows. our shows are very theatrical and fun and involve lots of experiments with the audience (and we change structure every night!), and our music is both chaotic but tightly structured and focused deeply on musicianship.

we have been reviewed by several blogs, are planning a national summer tour, are currently working on our EP, have a dedicated rehearsal space in Williamsburg and are diligently working to make this a full-time effort. not particularly good at describing our music, so listen to us on streaming services and check out our music video on our be to get a better idea!

about compensation - we are less than a year old so money is not consistent, but have an agreement already written up ensuring payment once enough money is coming in. feel free to ask questions!
