Drummer & Bassist looking for 2 Guitarist Project + Band in Hialeah, FL

SEEKING

ABOUT

We are focused and experienced musicians, some of our past projects include local South Florida acts, Upheaval and Exit Earth. We want to create a band that everyone in it can enjoy, watch grow, and be happy with the final product. We are open ideas; we want you to bring yours. We are looking for a solid foundation, we like the very creative riff machine styled guitar player (awesome lead guitars are a plus) again, keeping 2 guitarists in mind, one or the other, or both (\m/) can play leads. We will be looking for guitarists who are not afraid to experiment, think outside the box, and are skilled enough to work on arrangements and glue it all together.

We are looking to form a metal project which will involve a progressive style of metal. Keeping 2 guitarists in mind, this will include a fusion of various styles as well as different time signatures, odd timing, heavy riffs, melodic tunes, and massively dirty groves. When it comes to tuning, different songs will have different tunings, we are open to all sorts of tunings. We are not trying to reinvent the wheel but definitely want to bring a fresh new sound.

Things obviously expected are experienced, driven, and focused musicians. Each musician will also be expected to have transportation, be able to practice 2 to 3 times a week, play shows 2-3 times per month, not have any issues with future plans for touring, have a solid means of income (as the band will equally share expenses), have good live pro gear, stage presence, and have good people skills and interaction with crowds. Most importantly, please do not waste our time as we will not waste yours, we are in it for the long haul. Of course we do it for the love of music, to have a lot of fun, and to build great friendships working as a well oiled machine. All of these characteristics are expected to show in the music we create.

We have a practice space/studio, great connections, and opportunities for bookings, which once joining this project, all of this will be shared with its members. We have experience with the ins and outs that takes place with managing a band. We will each have a certain jobs to do in the band, no one rides for free.
