SEEKING
Background Singer, Piano, Keyboard.ABOUT
Here's the deal man, Let's keep this relatively simple. We're a rock band based out of Brooklyn. My name is Justin, I write the songs. Tim, who has been playing bass for several years and Paulo who is a hard hitting, energetic, kick ass drummer make up the band . We all came together from different bands and have finally found the chemistry together that is so hard to find. We have a rehearsal/recording studio space in Greenpoint, a van to tour in, shows booked, and are gearing up for recording our debut E.P. We're sort of a combination of the songwriting of The Beatles, the raw energetic songwriting and punk attitude of Nirvana, mixed in with the melodic, harmonies of the Beach Boys. ( We're just about playing great songs with hooks that rock). Honestly we're holding our own, no question as a 3 piece but to complete our vision, We're currently looking for an all around player in the sense that they can play keyboards/ handle ALOT of backup vocals(high harmonies is a must), and maybe a little ryhthm/acoustic guitar. But mainly Keyboards and Backup Vocals!! I write with 3 part harmonies in mind(sometimes) which you'll hear on my space. If you're looking to be one of the songwriters your in the wrong band. We need someone who is open minded and willing to and has the musicians instinct of knowing when to play and when to hold back. Also, this needs to be your life. Sacrifice,dues, dedication, and doing whatever it takes is the only rule. We're either writing, recording, rehearsing, playing out in clubs, or thinking of the next tour. We've made this the most important thing in our lives and expect the same from anyone who joins the band. Dont get me wrong, we're not uptight, but we know when it's time to take care of business.
Please go to /admiralhalsey to check out our acoustic demos and one finished tune I recorded with my long time producer Pete Thornton in orlando..... If you dig the music please contact me via e mail ASAP. We'd like to get anyone that is interested into the rehearsal studio pretty quick so we can work on some songs and see how we vibe together. We're not looking for hired guns, we want dudes who are in New York to put everything they have into playing music and being successful at it. The monthly Rehearsal Studio is located in Greenpoint right off the G train at Nassau Ave. It's super easy to find. We've allotted 5 days a week for 4-6 hrs for our practice schedule.(pending shows, recording etc...)Not too mention the owner of the studio is a very dear friend of ours and the coolest dude you'll ever meet.
So needless to say as long as you ve got your gear, love music, and are ready to be in a kick ass rock band, we've got everything we need to make it happen. Everyone in the band is laid back , cool, and has a very high work ethic. No BS, or ego sh*t involved on our end.Music is our lifE, but we can't rest until the band is complete.(or i cant anyways!!)
Thanks for checking out the add and we hope to hear from you soon. If you have anything to send us such as tunes you've played /sang on please leave it in the e mail along with a contact number.
