HUDDERSFIELD thrashers Evile have confirmed they will carry on as a band following the sudden death of their bass player Mike Alexander last month.

Mike, 32, fell ill just days into the band’s month-long European tour in Sweden. He was rushed to hospital but could not be saved.

The band are now looking for a new bassist in time for their tours next year.

Applicants must be experienced, friendly and able to commit 100% to the band.

They will be expected to be available for extensive global touring from January 2010 onwards, be a resident of the UK (preferably close to Huddersfield, but not necessary) and have touring/performing experience.

To apply email the following to bass@evile.co.uk

Full name, age, location, a link to a video of you playing the bass (eg: Youtube), a few pictures of yourself (on and off stage), details of playing and gigging experiences, and detail why you want to join the band.

Deadline: December 8
