LISTEN TO PRACTICE RECORDINGS HERE: http://martianhorses.com/music As our band evolves, we expect our music to become more rich and complex. Parts are therefore fixed and pre-arranged, and incorporate the ideas of all our members. The ideal members are sight readers, however practice and good memory trumps all. Professional attitude and skill level is a must for your enjoyment as well as ours.



STRINGS: Seeking cello/viola



BRASS: Seeking specifically bass or tenor instruments; e.g. tuba euphonium, trombone, french horn.



If you play an instrument that is not listed or are unsure if your instrument would fit into our arrangements, feel free to contact us! We are currently working on our first EP. If you are curious about the band's direction and are interested in joining the band, we'll play it for you.
