About

I have just moved from Ohio and dont know too many people out here. I'm looking for a band who needs a guitarist, bass player or drummer, or other musicians who are looking to start a serious band,or even not so serious.Or join an established band looking for a missing peice. I have my own band " Tigers of the Sunderbans" (it's just me and stuff I wrote). I have a song recorded but it's real low fi. If your an established band Ill play whatev, but If looking to start a band Im not into the whole," we wanna sound like them" scanario? Where's the art in that? I write and have alot of material that needs polishing but is very workable, but Im not married to it or anything. Im down to collab and start playing shows right away. If you think your pretty badass at playing,and you dont have a super huge ego, then message me. Or even if you have a huge ego, as long as you can back it up with playing. Or even if your humble and just think your ok, but would like to jam out, thats cool too. Id even be down to do some hip hop electronica. I love it all. Wherever the wind blows. contact billy4thekid@ yahoo. Also if you messaged me and I didn't respond I haven't logged into this account in a year probably as of 4-30-2013. I just got my own practice space in Humboldt and was busy with some other things for a wee bit.

Influences

I like everything that dont suck. I love punk and grew up on it. I like all music from hardcore punk to girly love songs. To name some of my influences: Robert Johnson, Skip James, , The Doors, Hendrix, Jonny Cash, Zepplin, I love At the drive in, Mars volta, Bob Dylan, Sublime, The smiths, Refused, Operation Ivy, Rancid, Jeff Buckley, Elliot Smith, New Pornographers, The faint, Of Montreal, Nirvana, Unseen, Social D, modest mouse, the killers, Black Dahlia murders, Beck, Murder City Devils,misifts Bright eyes,The ramones, CLash, Transplants, Vampire Weekend, Delta Spirit, Fleet foxes, I love David Bowie, Neutral Milk Hotel, bjork, ,etc... I also love hip hop. M.I.A. is weird and cool, but one of my favorite artists of all time is Mos Def. I hate most rap though. Hip hop and rap are different. I love ug hip hop too like grouch and jedi mind tricks .And I like alot of classical music, as out of place as it may sound. I fu*king hate pop RAP, and pop in general. fall out boy and high school teenie bopper crap blows. If you like them you have been brainwashed and need a lobotomy. Im also getting into old reggae like toots and maytals and desmond dekker.
