ABOUT

Hey, thanks for checking us out. Chiliocosm plays a unique blend of pop punk with more alternative influences. We have songs that range from funky and chill to circle pit ragers. We love creating both material outside and inside the box.

Some notable appearances have been:
Opening for Sublime With Rome - Aug 2019
WInner of the Grizfest Battle of the Bands 2016
Opening slot at Grizfest Music Festival for Pop Evil and Simple Plan
Headlining Alternative Waves Fest 2019
Featured Artist on Soundstage Spotlight presented by Eastlink TV
Wrote and Recorded the official soundtrack for the upcoming Telus Documentary "Small Town Strength"

We are looking for a new bassist and guitar player to fill up our lineup so we can play local shows, festivals, and get opening slots for national acts as they roll through Calgary. We have a full length LP releasing over 2021. After its release we will start working on LP 2.

We have a free membership so we can't send messages on here unless you send one first.

OUR OFFICIAL AD:

We are a Calgary original alternative rock band with a lot to offer. We've had commercial radio and television exposure (100.3 The Bear FM), independent radio and print media (Hardbeat Mag, PeaceFM Chet TV, Eastlink TV) exposure, and have made numerous festival appearances, including playing the main stage at the Alternative Waves and opening for Grizfest Festival. Our debut LP is being released this fall, and we have a small range of merchandise (shirts, stickers) to complement our CD's that we sell at shows. In the past 2 years, we've been invited to share the stage with Sublime With Rome, The Wild!, Hey Ocean!, and Nicolas Rage!

Our goal is to continue to develop a local following through live performances - clubs, showcases, and festivals, etc. ( about 1-2x per month) - and media exposure, and to work towards placing our material in film and television. Our material is heavy guitar and vocal driven that is unapologetically melodic and accessible. We would like to begin work on a second album in the Fall of 2021. For more information on us, please visit https://www.facebook.com/Chiliocosm/ and https://www.gram.com/chiliogram/

As our new bassist/guitarist, you MUST be able to offer the following:

-proficient guitar skills - but not a virtuoso (we're a punk rock based band, not Dream Theatre!)

-easy to get along with (we're all laid back)

-have good communication skills

-no ego - you play to suit the SONG first, not to showboat yourself as a prima donna

-willingness to share your existing ideas towards the creative process towards new material

-be able to support the band with simple backing vocals (one of the things that separates a mediocre basement band from a pro band is backing vocals!)

-your own transportation

-commit to practicing once a week (and knowing your parts!)

-attend practices and gigs in a clean state of mind. (sure, we'll have a beer or two at practices/gigs, but will not tolerate alcohol/substance abuse getting in the way of performance or demeanor)

In the spirit of no egos, if you want to share lead guitar duties and/or lead vocal duties, and are capable of doing so, that is fine with all of us.

As our new bassist/guitarist you would IDEALLY:

-be willing and able to play some lead guitar

-be mature - not necessarily in years, but in personal and musical presentation

-have a knowledge of the industry and a sense that there is a reason that the word 'business' appears in the phrase 'music business.'

If you are interested and suitable, please contact chiliocosm01 or call 587-297-4169 and ask for Chris. We look forward to hearing from you.
