Left Brain is an Established Experimental Prog Metal Band that is seeking hard working, versatile singer!!! We’ve played 70+ shows, recorded 2 albums, won 2 music awards and have a large fan base established.

Must be hard working in all creative and physical aspects of being apart of a band. We need a leader that takes the initiative. We are looking for a confident singer to front this band and deliver a solid performance in the studio and on stage. Remember, we are looking for a good balance of singing and screaming. Can you bring it?
**We Are an Equal Opportunity Employer - Ladies Don't Be Afraid To Audition**
Left Brain is currently recording and writing a new album. Think of this as a new project. We are not playing any of our older material because we feel it doesn’t represent us as a band today. So our focus is the new material going forward. We are requiring you to be apart of this writing process so we will want you to write “thinking mans†lyrics and melodies to our pre-existing songs. There are no lyrics for this new material so the table is open. This will be a collaborative effort so feedback and input is very imperative. We practice 3 days a week after 7:00PM on Tuesday’s, Thursday’s and Sunday’s at Bleeding Ear Drum Rehearsal Space. (Indian School and Moon).

Download the 2 Sample Tracks off our myspace page. If you are having technical issues then let us know and we will give you the URL’s to download the tracks. Sing to the tracks! Use your imagination!

Website: leftbrainband.comOur music is a thought process that sometimes delves into the darker aspects of society which are important, yet often ignored. We strive to portray the different dimensions of a story or idea through music to ultimately describe an emotional and intellectual state of being.
