15.10.09 - FG looking for new guitar-player and synthist!

Want to play guitar or synth in Frail Grounds?
Due to job-related circumstances unable to work around, we have sadly decided to part with our guitarplayer Gøran Hoff Mikkelsen, and therefore we are now looking for a new guitarplayer. We are grateful for his contribution the year he has been with us, and wish him the best!

So, if you are interested in playing guitar or synth in Frail Grounds, please take contact ASAP for a talk and audition! Its very positive if you also can do backing vocals! We are currently writing and rehearsing material for our debut-album, and entering studio next year, so we want to be ready for concerts when the album is released.
