HongKongSugar + Musician in Pittsboro, NC

SEEKING

ABOUT

I have been in bands since I was 18 (from a Rush cover band, blues, loungy, rock, goth and to the likes of cabaret clubs in Chicago). The last band I was in was in Chicago...I was the lead singer and we played at some really cool venues. Have produced CD's, have a home studio and have played professional gigs for over 10 years. I am now looking for someone (lead instrument) that would like to play out, make a cd and potentially do some out of town shows. I like to travel. I would love to do something experimental...with some soul, renegade lyrics, some soundscape integrated (I am a fan of collecting sounds), weird, lovely and poetic with an occasional scream or howl (a must). I love the hardened, emotional, crazy, magical, boring, and unpredictable process and labor of writing original music, and would love to find someone that craves this as well.
