BAND OVERVIEW:
We are looking for our front person, ideally a seasoned vocalist who is also our lead guitarist. Otherwise, we are looking for a non-playing lead vocalist and a non-singing lead guitarist who might be able to do backup singing as well.

Our band members are all well-experienced, proficient in their performing and have been in the music world for many years. We get together to rehearse once a week at our rehearsing and recording studio, Linear Sound, ://.linearsound, which is located in Fredericksburg,VA. We are planning on completing our 3 track demo CD by the middle of November 2010 and our first 8 track album by the middle of December 2010.

We have been in development and rehearsing since early September 2010. We practice separately during the week on a designated practice list for that week so we can come prepared to seriously and intensively rehearse together for three to four hours in the recording studio doing track recordings to accelerate our song and performance development.

We expect to be doing our first gigs by the end of November 2010, and gig once a week on average on Fridays and/or Saturdays. Most of our gigs will be in the Northern and Central Virgina region with the occassional opportunity in Washington, DC, Maryland, Western Virginia and Southern Virginia. We are also in the process of making applications to a variety of summer music festivals to be held next year.
