CJ LoDuca + Band in Los Angeles, CA

SEEKING

ABOUT

Hi, looking for drummer and organist (Vox, Farfisa, etc.) to complete band. Also open to other instruments but this is the minimum these songs require. Ability to sing back up and/or play other instruments a plug. I have songs ready: about a dozen for electric guitar and a dozen for acoustic guitar (all rock though acoustic songs have some mellow parts) I sing lead and play the guitar (rhythm and some lead) I need you to help bring these songs to life (Solid mid-tempo melodic rock songs with some room to jam out on in each song - nothing too tangential but tasteful psychedelic freakouts are healthy). Set will be dynamic in style and volume. You: Have sense of humor, drive, sh*t together, sufficient interpersonal skills, a decent level of human awareness, motivated to have a career playing in a band, motivated to use rock and roll to entertain and inspire.
