Band to Join, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Steel guitar.ABOUT
I'm a 25 year old, female vocalist interested in forming/joining a rock band with roots in the blues and punk music. I like simple but hard-hitting, gritty music, and would be interested in gigging/touring if things clicked. I'm not interested in big egos, but people who have a lot of ideas with room for compromise. I'm definitely into song-writing, but I would be excited to join forces and write collaboratively. I've got some basic, self-taught knowledge on the guitar and piano/keys, but prefer to leave the instruments to the pros when I can. I'm committed to making something work with the right people and would be willing/able to focus solely on a musical career if things went that way...but it's important to me that the driving force behind my/our music is to create something distinctive that we enjoy--not to get rich and famous (which quite frankly destroys most really good bands). That's me in a nutshell!

June's Flight
June's Flight Year: 2012 Genre: Alternative
The lyrics to this song I wrote coming out of high school. Recently my friends and I (albeit drunkenly) recorded it in our living room-- its very sloppy and not really what I'd be into making with a full band, but we did it fast and dirty so-to-speak and I like that we were able to come up with something at all, so I kept it. And, it's the only recording I have that is on my computer. I'm just singing, and my friends were on drums (floor tom/snare) and electric guitar. Also...keep in mind I sound quite different against a full band---I'm not really the sort of female singer who has to sound pretty all the time.
