ABOUT

i play in a band/collective currently called LEANING sh*tHOUSE. we desire a drummer who can play agressively, mellow, and extremely free-formed.

we already have vocals, 3 guitarists who can switch up on bass, and a circuit bending multi-instrumentalist guru. our ages range from 22 to 31 and we take sarcasm very seriously.

we are an ambitious all-original band and i assure that no one in this city is doing quite what we are doing. basement rehearsal space is in the Meridian-Kessler/South Broadripple area. we record every session. we have a local independant label interested in us. we also have show contacts on the eastern seaboard & here in the mid-west. all we need is a 5th member percussionist.

Q - WHAT DO WE SOUND LIKE?

A - THINK PROTO POST-INDIE MIXED W/ ART-PUNK MIXED W/ 20th CENTURY AVANT GARDE.

but don't take it from us, this is how a local musician celeberty has described us:

"Man, you guys are crazy! You're like The Velvet Underground... on skip."

- Jethro Easyfields

Influences

droning, dirty shoegazing, twirling feedback, light/loud/light/loud, alternate tunnings, sound exploration, a primitive mindset, and a sense of melody is my foundation.

EQUIPMENT

i have good equipment. some of it is vintage. some of it is self-made. some of it was found in thrift shops across America.

trust me, we have plenty to create with & record with.

CALENDAR

Past Events

cincinatti, ohio @ bogart's. only 15 dollars and a drive through hum drum indiana - ask your mom for gas money. if you don't know this band you are simply not in-the-know.

expecting a red wine hangover and/or drug overdose. the leash will be cut. location not yet determined - could be indy, chicago, cincinatti or at a highway rest stop between any two major midwest cities. wherever it is, my mark will definetly be left with some sort of bodily fluid and a lot of disgusted faces. yeah. 24 and there's so much more...

22 yrs of non-stop recording/touring and better than ever. playing @ the music mill. july 25, 8pm. this inspiring time will cost you 30 bones.
