Green The Sounds + Musician in Coconut Grove, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

When asked what floats my boat in life, I invariably respond with something about being immersed in the Magic of the Creative Process; be it the visual, written or auditory(music, noise, the drone of my own voice, etc).Growing up as THE ADD Poster Child, I got one of those free-associative brains; gimme' ANYTHING and I'll MAKE SOMETHING interesting and/OR WICKEDLY FUNNY out of it. I realized a long time ago that there are infinite ways to not make sense and nonsense makes sense to me. That's not to say that I exist in some incomprehensible alternative universe by myself and enjoy confusing people. Just the opposite rather; I'm pretty good at coming up with fun interesting ideas by synthesis. But nothing beats melding them with those of other talented people who have what I lack. I've been in a number of bands before with of what I deemed various degrees of success. But it’s been a while. Now it’s PUT OUT or SHUT-UP TIME. I have about forty songs at various stages(including some GREAT DEMOS,for your listening pleasure).So,I'm looking for Person or Persons to Collaborate with (age, gender and looks not of import)for composing and performing Original Sounds and Happenings(and assassinate the occasional cover).And in the process, get the attention of the likes of the New Times and beyond within six months-(I like a lot of attention and am not afraid to make a fool of myself in front of a crowd) . Please Be Competent, Considerate, have a Healthy Sense of Humor and a Above All, Be A TEAM PLAYER.

OR

If all that self-indulgent Gobbledygook confuses and bewilders you, there’s PLAN B: Play covers, ala “Me First and the Gimme Gimmes” and let the originals seep-in and develop on their own. But the stuff about being a competant non-jerk still goes. And for the time being at least, we'll keep to the KISS ethos(not the band, I never cared much for)-KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID.Hey, if John Cale can evoke it, so can I.
