SEEKING

Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Lead Guitar, Bass Guitar.

ABOUT

Our band is a loosely organized group and mostly for fun. We have a BLAST playing together and are maybe looking to add 1-2 new members, but only if the price is right. There are two of us currently, myself and my friend. I play guitar and he plays drums. We just jam out and have fun, nothing too serious. We're close friends and have known each other since HS. My skill level on guitar is avg. and I play rhythm guitar and some lead and bass, but nothing special. My friend on the other hand is quite the "Dave Grohl" if you will, playing drums very well, rhythm and lead guitar very well, and bass pretty decent. We play almost exclusively covers of our favorite songs and bands, and don't want to really play anything else that isn't listed below, but would be willing to try original content if it fit our style.

What we're looking for is specific people that are not looking for anything serious, have extremely similar taste in music to us, and are very easy going. Also, must be a stable personality, easy to get along with, reliable, we are definitely not going to put up with drug or alcohol users (no potheads either), would prefer someone who is financially stable and has all their own gear, and just wants to jam out and have fun! We don't want to "make it" or anything like that. We have good day jobs and our band is just for a good time, to blow some steam off, and just hang out. We play maybe 2-5 times a month right now, but would be wanting to play more if we find the right person/people to join our group.

We are looking for a bassist/guitarist that is versatile, plays bass pretty well, knows rhythm guitar, and some lead. Also would prefer this person to have both their own bass and guitar gear. Also, you must have gear that sounds like the bands we cover, we are pretty thorough about nailing the sound of the band we are playing in addition to playing it well. We're looking for someone who can "fill" in the missing spots of the songs we play, so most of the time to play bass, sometimes guitar, whatever the song requires. But for right now, I'd mostly say bass. And if we added a fourth member, then one person would be the full time bassist, the other guitar.

Let us know if you are interested and we'll set up a time to meet up somewhere and see what you're all about and if you'd be a good fit. Also, if you can sing, that is a huge plus, and male or female is fine either way.

Here is a list of current songs we play, but by no means a complete list of everything we would LIKE to play:
- Quite a few Black Keys
- Some real early Foo Fighters
- Almost anything by Nirvana
- We've been trying a few Radiohead tracks
- Been trying a few Cardigans tracks
- Some Vines
- A few Blur tracks
- Some RHCP's
- Some Darkness tracks
- Some Hives
- Some Iggy Pop + the Stooges
- A few Jet tracks
- A few Soundgarden tracks
- A few STP tracks
- White Stripes

What we want to add more of the following (including the above ) once we add this new 1-2 members:
- Radiohead (tons of radiohead!!!)
- Some more STP
- More Cardigans tracks
- More Darkness
- Some Weezer
- Maybe some Smashing Pumpkins
- Maybe a Van Halen song or two
- Maybe some Sonic Youth
- Early QOTSA for sure
- The Pixies
- The Breeders Last Splash stuff
- Oasis stuff
- And a few California punk tracks (Sum41, Blink 182, etc)
