Band to Join.

ABOUT

Drummer looking to start new band. Not looking to speed into anything. I'd like to find singer, 2 guitarists and bassist. I don't want to limit the goals to anything small or big. For now, I think finding the right chemistry is most important. No egos, partiers or sex addicts. Looking to get serious about some music. Start with some covers, hopefully write and record a few originals and gig.

I'm not a writer or singer so can't help there. I think I'm good at putting great beats to great melodies. I hope to be involved with powerful music. Substance, meaning and heart are what I'm looking to be a part of. No bubble gum tunes or screaming. Hope to find a great singer. Maybe a combination of Aaron Lewis and Brandon Boyd? Back up vocals would be a huge plus as well.

As for genre, it's always hard to fit exactly within a specific category. I love dirty sounding bands. Maybe a Buckcherry with Chevelle growl. Something that gets the heart pounding and palms sweaty.

Check out "Shine" by Sevendust. That's a real good vision of type of music I'd like to be involved with.

Looks are totally unimportant. This isn't 1985 anymore. What is tremendously important is stage presence. I want to be able to put on a phenomenal show live. If you just stand there, that's just not gonna fit. I feel my style of live playing is a red-headed step child combo version of Tommy Lee and Morgan Rose. I'm not looking to get technical like Morgan but just put on one helluva show.

As for what I can bring to a band....I've networked my ass off over the past year. I've made some really nice contacts and if the right group of folks can get together, I'm ready to use them. I don't want to divulge now what or who these contacts are but if I feel we have a good vibe, I'll let you know before things get too far. Anyone taking a chance on me should understand what I can offer to the group.

So that's about it. Again, I'm not looking to start jamming right away, just start making contacts. I don't want to waste anyone's time nor have mine wasted. I own my own business so time is precious. But because I make my own schedule, that can help accommodate practices, recording and gigging.

I'm not into drugs, I drink responsibly and am in a committed relationship of 14+ years.
