About

Violetbuckle at hotmail dot com.
Seeking talented, intense, creative, mentally agile musicians to form a
Rock/ Punk/ Funk/ Glam/ Psychedelic/ Electronic/ Deathrock band.

I would very much like to work with serious, accomplished, alchemical musicians who have a sense of artistic style and a knack for kicking ass! Let's transform base metal into gold!
If you are intelligent, odd or bizarre, consider yourself an artist, and have stage presence please do not hesitate to reply.

I am looking to become a member of or start a unique project with varied influences. I am looking for musicians who have an overwhelming NEED to create or express something powerful!
I have been singing for 15 yrs sans band, have a wide vocal range (Soprano II, Alto I & II, Tenor I & II, Baritone),
can sing softly, delicately, sweetly, or hard, powerful, and passionate.
I was a ballet/jazz dancer for ten years and played roller derby for a few... hence I am very physical, posses presence, and have an expressive face and eyes.
All ages and backgrounds are welcome...
Seeking:
keyboardist who can play a little Ray Manzarek as well as New Order.
Guitarist/Bassist who can play psychedelic, punk, garage/grunge,metal...not a fan of noodling or jam band styles.
Percussionist who can operate a drum machine as well as sting on a kit the way you would a naughty lover.
Talented Ballsy Female/Male vocalists with control over tone,volume, and pitch. Would love another sultry female to match me...a la Ladytron.
Also welcome, horn section, violinist, cellist and others.

Please leave your drama and monkey games at the door..I'm not interested in flinging poo..I want to do something insanely unique and have no time in my schedule for others who have nothing better to do than whine or weave webs of deceit and ass-hattery.

Sorry, Please do NOT reply if you are of the blindly dogmatic persuasion..the subject matter I hope to tackle will not amuse the easily offended.
