SEEKING
Vocalist, Bass Guitar, Violin.ABOUT
This is a new project. All original material. We are not established yet and we are very much in the writing stages. Not all the pieces are there yet but the core is very solid and has incredible writing and technical skills.
What we have -
A solid drummer
An incredible guitar player and song writer
A smokin keyboard player and song writer (thats me)
A groovy rhythm guitar player
About seven songs in various stages of completion
Killer practice space, recording capable (actually we record all our practices)
Good attitudes (we like having fun but if your idea of rehearsal is getting wasted don't bother. We'll have to kick your ass and then the cops get involved... just save us the trouble)
What we need -
You, if you're a good bass player who is looking for some creative license and fun.
Lead Vocals
The plan is to round out the rhythm section, record some songs, then search for vocals. We have some high hopes. The written material is still evolving but is very cerebral. It's on the order of Tool, Alice in Chains, Joe Satriani (I know, one of these things is not like the other but if you can imagine their bastard child...).
About us -
We're all in our mid thirties (except for our Drummer, he's old (ok, he's 40)). We have lots of experience on our instruments and pro gear. Tim, drummer, and I are coming off a 4 year stint in a cover band. We realized that we had some pent up creativity that needed an outlet. We stumbled on a killer guitar player, Will, and started writing and haven’t looked back. Will and I have an excellent creative repoire and a strong theory background, Tim is always right there with a creative beat or two or 7. Jeff likes to hang out on rhythm guitar and rounds out our sound. The majority of the tunes right now are 4/4 but we are looking to experiment with off meter and have been experimenting with creative rhythms and chord changes. The music is slower and dark, lots of minor tonality and a few upbeat numbers as well. We don't have any expectations for the music right now. It just seems to happen.
What we want from you -
Rule #1: Don't be a dick! If you don't have any friends and your mom never calls you, you're a dick. We won't get along with you and we'll have to kick your ass (see above). Seriously though, personality matters a lot. It creates the environment that we create in.
Please have some gear. Something that sounds good and can cut through the other instruments if needed.
Have some experience. Nothing is worse than meeting a cool guy/gal who attracts wildebeest in heat when he/she plays. Again, the asskicking, blah, blah, blah.
Commit or don't. If you miss a practice, cool. We all have lives. But call ahead and don't make a habit out of it or, you guessed it...
So in conclusion, be awesome, and cool, and good on your instrument.
