ABOUT

So here's the deal I'm a bassist looking to start up an all out straight up heavy rock band well arranged riff rooted type project .

Looking for musicians ages ranging from 19 to early 30's (Gender not important at all ). In fact I'd like for there to be at least one strong female talent in the band . I myself personally have been in few bands so far that have worked out pretty well but nothing yet that I feel like is entirely music I wanna play .

I'm sick of watching these talentless uncoordinated brat bands here going on tour and constantly getting shows they don't rightfully deserve but somehow attracting a cult following. If you're like me and sick of being broke and sitting around with the tools, equipment , band connections and ability to make the music you want maybe we're on the same page. No more weekend warrior bullsh*t. I'm ready for the war . I'm ready to make this as serious as it can be . Looking for people that feel the same way and have that same fire.

Fact of the matter is the absolute most pain in the ass part of starting a band is finding people that are on the same page as you and can as a group flow in the same direction. Then all you gotta worry about is egos , maturity levels and if you can stand being in the same room with the people you play with.

I'm just trying to do simplistic yet catchy riffs based songs , solid on tone, off beat yet relatable lyrics and subject matters. Innovative techniques and songs . Amazing loud precise drumming with lots of fills , all with the foundation of arrangement to hold it together.

As a bassist I'm not a follow the guitarist type. I'm as innovative as possible while knowing when to pull back. I'm actually a stand alone bassist in alot of ways because of my use of chords, overdrive and alternate tunings.

Oh and also If you can't appreciate these bands we wouldn't work well together:

Queens of the Stone Age
Nirvana
Deep Purple
Dinosaur Jr.
