nihtingael + Musician in Rock Hill, SC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm David Frick--I'm looking to network with musicians in general, as I have a few projects in mind that I want to start over the next few years as options become available, and I'm open to other possibilities as well.

Bubblegum Nihilists
- Live band and performance group (currently 4 synth players doing twitch streams but we have plans for much more) - ambient cinematic/drone score music + jazz + musical theatre/rock opera + steampunk/cabaret + genre-mashing electronic elements (industrial, drum&bass, EDM). We're on the lookout for multi-instrumentalists, singers, keyboardists, artists, performers/puppeteers, or anyone interested in participating in some nerdy sci-fi theater and light shows. There are a lot of things we want to do in the future so who knows what possibilities exist.

Some other things I can imagine creating in the next few years if I meet the right people:

- Electronic/rock studio project, in the realm of kidneytheives, The Birthday Massacre, Collide. It would be cool to find a female vocalist but I'm open to other possibilities. There is potential for overlap with the above project.
(Other influences: Hundreds, Metric, Chvrches, Puscifer, Imogen Heap, she, BT, Celldweller, Chelsea Wolfe, Garbage)

- Pure percussion ensemble with the heart of a local rock/punk band.

- Small A Capella/barbershop group to fill the relatively untapped edge of a capella and do Halloween Scaroling--covers of less conventional songs (Tool, Avenged Sevenfold, spooky/dark Halloween songs, etc)

- Alternative progressive rock/punk band, with influences like Karnivool, Deftones, Chevelle, Dredg, The Dillinger Escape Plan, but maybe a little less tight (more organic / noisy / raw).
