ABOUT

Thank you, my name is Frank, a guitar player -lead singer-song writer with an over 15 years playing & studio background.

If you contact me using the e-mail system here please leave me another way to contact you other than here.

Started playing & studying music at an early age, & having switched instruments several times over the guitar & vocals fit me best. From a very musical family so music was always around, music is just something we do.

Pursued my musical studies, through several teachers & by myself, through all that could be found in the libraries as well as books & the internet. You can rely on my vast knowledge of music theory, history & psychology, it includes read-write & play off of sheet music as well as tablature & playing live in all kinds of venues and scenes.

Music to me is more than a hobby, my goal is to play with people that enjoy it as much as me, and want to do it full time.

Playing in bands over the years says to me that mutual respect is the better way to achieve a great playing tone, as well as becomes the better driver behind success.

To make it even simpler it is about having an approach to it of success or bust. As well as value all of the other player's skills & what they bring to the table.

Open try outs are for 2 female bass players at the least, as well as a drummer & another rhythm/lead guitar player, if they also sing it's a plus, if you don't sing so far why not give it a shot here, we'll work on it during practice and make it a part of the live act as soon as it's ready to be. Drummers & guitar players can be male or female & contact me only if you don't mind waiting until the right female bass players is found for this project.

My goal is to get a mostly metal project going that will go & play anywhere they will have us.

The band project is already going on the internet with me playing all of the instruments, so the need for players is to take the show live to the venues & the fans, the band's in the top 40 locally for metal bands at , the band already has & my space pages as well, just looking to bring in the rest of the players, it's a modern medieval theme within a metal soundtrack. With about 14 original songs not including covers.All songs have drums, bass & guitar parts already written. So you wouldn't have to write a thing to get started to go play live ASAP. Also looking to team up to write more songs.But if you don't like to write the bass, guitar or drum parts will be written as needed.

And open as far as metal-hard rock covers, if you can sing the song you want to do is a plus. My song catalog as far as covers also includes top 40 type music over 50 songs & willing to learn any cover as needed. But the focus or goal of the project is originals as well as getting gigs. Also my metal music catalog is pretty extensive, hours worth. Not all venues are open to original only acts so to keep the party going with gigs and getting the band's name out there having a nice set of bubble gum covers ready to go never hurts, this is Florida after all.

Only looking for female bass players in order to give the bass that unique female insight, as well as bring a sense of balance to the band.A sense of balance in the same vein as having all of the elements fire-water-wind-earth.Another reason is me having played or teamed up with female musicians in the past. This is not a grunge casual stage look type project. Get creative with your stage wear. Drummers don't have to be creative with their stage wear since they need to move a lot, wear what will make playing easy but still not looking casual, there's nothing casual about playing live!

18 & up only please, but if 17 & about to be 18 in a year contact me only with your parent's consent please.Also only looking for players for my band project so I'm not looking to join any bands, but will jam out for fun or team up to help with just the writing & recording with the right project mostly meaning nothing rap, country, in Spanish or religious please, anything pop, rock, acoustic, metal is ok, if it is for pay or not doesn't matter, all practice is good to me.

For my project- players other than female bass players please have over 2 years instrument knowledge & practice, all players please have your own ride & gear.

It is key to me that the music played live is music all band members like, as well as within the writing process of future songs my goal is to add in the favorite styles of any band members within the metal-hard rock genre that they would prefer to do or would like to do. The goal is to work with players that really enjoy this genre and all of the songs we're playing.
