SEEKING

ABOUT

Prefer collaborating on original compositions and seeking opportunities to perform what we come up with. Contact me at brendanmcisaac at google's email (get it?) if interested.

I have done the blues heavy/Grand Funk jam thing. Then the hair band 90s/Club Bene thing. Then the local grunge groove thing (rough cut original uploads and were all songs I composed).

My tastes run from ABBA to Zappa, Zep to Zero 7, Beasties to Brown, Beatles to Beck, Sly to Styx, Wings to Wonder, Alice Cooper to Paolo Conte and so on.

I would like to assemble or join up with a female vocalist in the downtempo/electronic/pop range - Morcheeba, Sia w/ Zero 7, Norah Jones w/ Dangermouse, Joni Mitchell, Goldfrapp, Bjork range as well as keyboards, guitars, drums. I usually prefer to start with a drummer and get a feel for each other and build from there but am open to any approach. I would be interested primarily in original compositions and working up to playing out places that fit the sound we create. Age doesn't matter - I am looking for originality, creativity, and fun.

I would also like to incorporate video/art into performance somehow...
