SEEKING

ABOUT

I'm co-owner of the first and most successful pancake art company in the world. We have a reach of a around 1.5 million via our social channels and travel all over the world doing events.

How does relate to music?

Music is my passion, pancake art is my (really cool) job. A while back we did a small pancake art + music tour that went far better than we expected. And now we're going to do it again, only bigger and better. Our reach was maybe 10% of what it is now, so the kind of guarantees we can garner are quite a bit higher and everyone can get paid. $150-250 per musician a show, all depending on what kind of guarantees we manage to get.

It'll be myself, another pancake artist, an assistant/merch person and whomever is in the band. All original music, any covers are just because they're fun/interesting to play.

The originals we'd be playing are in the process of being mixed/mastered and will be released to all the places you would expect soon. I'll provide tabs/sheet music as well as individual tracks to help with learning the songs. I have a space and all the accoutrements for us to get together and rehearse as well. I'm not looking for carbon copies of the studio recordings, play what I play how you would play it, as long as it keeps the energy and vibes I'm happy.

I'm playing guitar and lead vocals. Looking for a drummer, guitarist, bassist, and possibly a keyboardist.

It's just going to be a handful of shows in January/February, a sort of trial balloon to see how it goes and if it's something we'll be able to do regularly. So, not asking folks to give up their lives for 2 weeks+ or anything. Just weekend warrior, 1-3 shows per run kind of stuff.

If it goes really well, maybe that metric will change, or maybe not... I really don't know how it'll all shake out, it's a bit of an experiment. But above all, it's gonna be fun.
