Mentally unstable bass player seeks like minded musicians to create the greatest party band in the history of the Universe.

Over the years I have played in classical ensembles, jazz bands, rock bands, punk bands, singer/songwriter backing groups, hip-hop groups, funk bands and punk bands.

I love making music in all genres but above all I love making music that gets a crowd fired up and dancing.

I'm hoping to meet different musicians from a range of backgrounds and styles and eventually I'd like to form a band that can make the people of San Diego dance like they have never danced before.

I have a day job and a fairly serious band already (more focused around songwriting than rocking parties which is why I'm looking to start side projects) so my time is limited but I'd love to practice or gig about once a week with some talented musicians with some good stage energy. If you're interested, you can reach me at j_traer "AT" yahoo "DOT" com.
