Vans Warped Tour BOTB

Well it's that time again.... Time to help vote for us to be on this year's Vans Warped Tour in Scranton, PA on July 21st!! Now this year it is a little bit different in how it works. Instead of just logging on 1 time per day and hitting a "VOTE" button, this year the rules are all different. The "VOTE" button has been removed. So here is how you can help us out... Click on the link below to take you to our Battle of the Bands page. That little bit right there helps us out. Now, take some time to look at our photos...listen to our mp3s...or watch some of our YouTube videos we have posted there. That all accounts for "Votes" per say. And while you are there you can click the link to take you to our Facebook or even our ReverbNation page. Just spending some time on our Battle Page and doing little things like that will help us out BIG TIME!!!! So I want to thank everyone in advance that will hopefully help us out and get us on this show!! -Mike Deprived http://www.battleofthebands.com/u/Deprived

Had an absolute blast playing at Mojo 13!!! Would hate to see it fall just as so many of the bars and music venues have done in this area over the past few years. Please, either help to donate or at the very least, spread the word. Share this on your Facebook wall, on Twitter, or any other social media outlet you may use!! ‪#‎13Reborn‬ http://igg.me/at/mojo13/x

LOOKING FOR A NEW DRUMMER!!

We are looking for a dedicated drummer to once again complete the line-up of our band...Deprived.

Our current drummer has decided after a year and a half with the band, to pursue a different genre of music .

We are an established band. We have our connections for bookings across the Lehigh Valley and Philly area. Being able to help book a show is a bonus but not necessary as we have been doing it ourselves for the course the band has existed! I (Mike) also am the webmaster for the ALL the band's websites. I run them all and keep them all as updated as I possible can. Once you join you will also take control of the band's Facebook Page. We are completely committed to this band!

Looking for musicians 21+. Have 2 albums worth of material. And just because you're coming into an established band, we consider you a whole part of the band and will never make u feel any lesser. Any input is always accepted here!!!

Drummer must be able to do double bass. The drumming isn't crazy fast, in your face metal beats, but some of our songs just sound so much better with double beats in parts.

Must have reliable transportation. Practice 1 day a week. I always book shows around work schedules if need be. But if we can manage to find out about shows in advance, possible switching up work schedules for shows. We try to play out at least 1-2 times per month!!!

And drummer having back-up vocal abilities in a HUGE bonus, but again, not necessary!!!

We currently have a practice space we pay by the hour, but if you know somewhere we can practice cheaper or for free, that would be a bonus as well.

We enjoy playing shows and being on stage and just writing music with a bunch of good friends. We take the band seriously but also love having fun with it, or we don't feel it's worth even doing. We just want to get a drummer again and get back up on that stage and play live.

Please, if interested, hit me up!!! My name is Mike.

You can check out some tunes on our ReverbNation page...

This Could Be It...

Long time no update!!

Let me just say that we found a bassist. And now we are auditioning a drummer hopefully in the next 2 weeks. I (Mike) sat down with this guy and he seems like he's gonna make an AWESOME fit in this band! Hopefully all goes well and we get this train rolling again!! Once I get the official word that he's in, we will let you all know who it is!!!! So keep on checking back and start letting everyone you know about this band because hopefully VERY SOON we will be out playing shows again and tearing up the stage with these new guys!!!!!!

The auditions have begun...

Hello all,

Mike here. I am currently in the middle of auditioning a few drummers and a bassist. Hopefully very soon, this band will once again be complete and ready to rock that stage again!!!

Keep posted on all things Deprived!!!
