A sleazy southern mix of funky glam that rocks everyone's ass off in a horrific manner. It's time for a change, and this is what the change needs to be.
People are sick of the sh*t-trends we see today, and I completely understand why. Everyone's trying to go backwards with music, as if trying to erase the mess we got ourselves in when we gave Blink-182 a recording contract. But why be Wolfmother? Why stay stuck in 1976, when you can grab 1976, stick her in the backseat of your time travelin' T-Bird and take her for a ride through the 80s, 90s, today, and then fu*k her brains out at TOMORROW!
What in the fu*k am I talking about, you ask? I'm talking about taking the simple pleasures of life (sex, drugs, and rock n roll) and bringing them to life in a form of music that would make George Clinton, Anthony Keidis, Johnny Thunders, Ian Astbury, Nick Cave, and Ronnie Van Zandt seem like they all popped out from the same womb.
It's funky. It's fresh. It's loud. It's fast. But most of all, it's GOOD. That's what I want people to think of when they hear this band. And I want them to hear this band while they're getting a lap dance at the local titty bar or just kickin' back in some underground lounge.
If you've noticed, I haven't said much to truly describe the musical sound, because this is not like anything that's ever existed. I can't sit here and say this is AC/DC revisted, cause it's not at all.
I want the songs to sound like a mix between The Cult, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Sly & The Family Stone, New York Dolls, and The Rolling Stones. Basically a clusterfu*k of everything we love, thrown together to become a new beast.
But I also want this band to have an edge. Someone once told me that style is worth nothing if you don't have sh*t to say. This band needs to have a satyrical sense of horrific genius. I want to take the energy created, and add in lyrics ranging from the dark side of sex, drugs, death, serial killers, suicide, the American underbelly, and the hidden shadows of the modern world. Basically, a cynical horror film hidden within a mash-up of pure rockin' energy.
TO JOIN: Please, please please be serious. This is not some cover band, this is not some rip-off band. You must be smart, talented, and dedicated to putting a good product out there. You also need some style and stage presence, cause the show is very important as well. People do care about "the look," believe it or not, which is why I put emphasis on a band that has a good show as well. You gotta be willing to look like a fu*kin' sleazy, glam rock legend when you get up on stage, not just some kid in a t-shirt and a guitar. And if you want to front this band, you gotta double that up and be an energetic performer, too. Along with being a good, smart musician, you need to PERSONIFY ROCK N ROLL when you're out there.
Ages: 18-21 please. No younger, cause age brings maturity. And no older, cause I also want people that can relate with each other.
Note: This is not a metal band, so don't try to make it that. This is ROCK N ROLL. People's idea of metal these days is nothing but generic riffs and annoying cookie monster vocals. There's nothing enticing about 4 minutes of senseless noise (hardcore kids, this applies to you as well). This is also not an industrial band. So, sorry, but you're gonna have to put your Marilyn Manson wet dreams back where they came from and move on.
Anyways, it's hard for me to describe the idea I'm goin' for here. So if you still have any questions, feel free to message me, and I'll try to explain myself further. But if you think you fit the requirements and are ready to rock, come right the fu*k on in.
P.S: Sorry for coming off as so demanding, but if you expect the best, you need to HAVE the best. And that's what I want.

Members Of Band
Fill 'em in boys:
_______ (vocals)- The next Mick Jagger up there. A man with a soulful, yet dirty voice. Don't be another Eddie Vedder imitator, please. Be someone who can convey emotions through his singing.
_______ (lead guitar)- The most beautiful sounding blues guitarist you'll ever meet. A dude who can take a good song and make it LEGENDARY with his ability to tear people apart with his solos, and lead work.
_______ (rhythym guitar)- A riff-master. The kinda dude who can create sh*t that will stick with you for a lifetime without ever becoming old. Someone who doesn't resort to the same old tried generic riffs, but someone who can fuse everything this bands wants to create into something great.
_______ (bass)- A funky genius. The dude who will make everyone want to get up and dance with his funky, pulsating bass lines. Basically, what Flea creates for the Peppers, I want you to be able to create here!
Chris (drums)- The dude who holds it all together. While he isn't Keith Moon, he can hold down a rhythym as well as the next guy. He is the backbone of this band, and his heart-beat rhythym keeps the greatness of the others together.
Also, a pianist/keyboardist would be nice. Not an industrial synth player. But rather, someone who can bring beautiful paino melodies into the mix.
I'd also like a few unconventional rock instruments for certain songs. But we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
