Today the band launched their search to replace Carpenter. They’ve uploaded two instrumental tracks online for those interested in trying out for the vacant spot (download them here). They’re asking interested applicants to complete a vocal demo for at least one track, but preferably both, then post it on YouTube and send them the link.
Here are some additional details:
Send the link via email to thecontortionistsingersearch@gmail.com along with any other pertinent info. Other criteria needed are:
-Must be local to Indianapolis area or willing/able to travel/relocate.

“We aren’t just looking for someone that can show off their skills as a musician,” says guitarist Cameron Maynard. “The band needs someone special that personally favors the traveling, and it should be in this person’s best interest to truly enjoy performing and working creatively day in and day out.”
