ABOUT

Check out our sound samples at ./dustymodestos.

We are seeking a Guitarist/Keyboardist who can also program electronically (sound fx, samples, beats/loops) with software such as Reason, Garage Band, Logic, etc... We are a Jazz-inflected Rock Band whose sound incorporates elements of Dream Pop, Trip Hop, Electronica, Dub/Reggae, and A.M. Gold. We pay a lot of attention to dynamics and nuance…and we groove.

Band has recorded an EP (2010) and is currently recording new material for an LP to be released in early 2013.

We are looking for someone who's committed to becoming a permanent member of an L.A.-based band with a unique sound poised to take its studio activities to the live stage in and around L.A. You don’t need to be a full-time musician—you do need to have a passion to be part of a great band.

Minimum commitment is 2 rehearsals a week, plus recording and playing out locally.
As a permanent member of the band, you will share any revenue we bring in. Currently, the gig is a non-paying one, until this revenue comes in. Hopefully, you’ll complete the band and help us take it to the next level!
