SEEKING
Band to Join.ABOUT
Rhythm guitarist and trained vocalist. I also dabble in bass, keyboards, drums, but not to any impressive extent, and my equipment is limited in those areas. I do have a large selection of original songs, but haven't written any new ones in a while, and in all honesty there's only a handful of more recent ones that I'm not totally sick of. However, I'm always open to writing/collaborating on new stuff, or playing someone else's music. I do love playing covers, but generally frown on the idea of a covers-only band.

Influences
Neutral Milk Hotel, The Mountain Goats, The Microphones, Weezer (pre-green album), The Moldy Peaches, Sublime, NOFX, Pavement, Beck, so many more but you get the idea. Also a bunch of hip hop stuff that generally doesn't apply to the music I usually play, but it's there.
EQUIPMENT
My pride and joy is my Fender Jaguar, complete with a tiny crappy amp. I also have a nice acoustic. It's a Vantek, nobody I know has ever heard of them. It has no pick-up as well. Electric bass not in very good condition, but passable. I also have a decent keyboard (by Radio Shack standards) and various other odds and ends, tambourine harmonica etc.
MUSIC
-
Prayers
Prayers Year: 2012 Genre: Alternative
NOT CHRISTIAN ROCK. Sorry. This is an original song that was first called "My Soul to Take", but I changed it after some crap horror movie stole that title from me. All instruments and singing done by me and also my magical musical laptop.

Apple Blossom (White Stripes cover)
Apple Blossom (White Stripes cover) Year: 2012 Genre: Cover/Tribute
All instruments and singing done by me. Not simultaneously though. That would be nutty, right?
-
Dream the Sky
Dream the Sky Year: 2012 Genre: Acoustic
Original song. All instruments and singing done by me. This is pretty mellow in comparison to what I usually write, but I'm flexible like that. :)
-
Sucks to Be You (Prozzäk cover)
Sucks to Be You (Prozzäk cover) Year: 2012 Genre: Cover/Tribute
You remember this one, don't you? All instruments and singing done by me, except the ones I programmed by computer magicalness. Fun ditty.

Yes as in No
Yes as in No Year: 2012 Genre: Acoustic
Original song. Epic lyrical craziness, if I say so myself. This is the straight-up acoustic version, which a few people have told me they prefer to the more grungy version I made later. Ask me about the grungy version, I'll send you a copy. :D
