SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist - Tenor, Lead Guitar, Drums, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano, Background Singer, Vocalist - Alto, Upright bass.ABOUT
This song has always stuck with me since I first heard it, along with most of Moz's stuff.
This track is meant to convey a sense for my range and tone, *not* the type of music I aim to play live.
>> WHO I AM:
Singer/songwriter seeking musical collaborators for rock/funk/jazz fusion project. I've fronted cover bands, but it's time to evolve and perform original music... I have 30+ songs already written, and a method for turning out new ones quickly, just need the right collaborator.
>> WHAT I WANT:
Have fun and play shows.
** Looking for a primary collaboration partner to build our sound/vision and then fill out the band. You are a multi-instrumentalist who appreciates well-crafted lyrics. **
Let's pack the dancefloor sweaty, everyone having a blast with our funky, danceable music that belies lyrical content with an edge. Think: Chili Peppers and Say Anything meet Vampire Weekend and mix it up in an alley.
Current vision includes guitar, bass, percussion, sax, keys, and possibly a horn.
>> WHAT THAT WOULD LOOK LIKE:
We get together 2-3 times/week and write/rehearse. We play a show or two per month, even if only open mics, early on...
Influences related to the vision for a band include:
RHCP, DM, Vampire Weekend, Glass Animals
