ABOUT

I'm mostly a guitarist, though I can make passable noises on a variety of instruments. More than anything, I'd love to jam, especially with a 2nd guitarist. Someone who is willing to play 1 of the 2 parts on Slayer's "South of Heaven" (or, swap out for Interpol, At the Drive In, Fugazi, Smashing Pumpkins, whatever). I've played out in a band situation some in the past (in GR, Detroit, Lansing, Alma), but I'd like to have a larger musical circle. As far as genre preferences... I guess "Something that would've been played on college radio in the '90s" is a fairly good shorthand, though I'm OK with most genres we'd broadly call "Rock". What I'm NOT looking for is: Blues, Gospel, Modern Country, Southern Rock.

I'm benjaminterry, and can be reached with a Google address.

Influences

There is what I like, then what I tend to sound like. This is kind of a hard section to fill out. Let me go with: At the Drive In, Jimi Hendrix, Fugazi, Swervedriver, Prong. That covers some bases. My favorite guitarists (not that I necessarily sound like them): Vernon Reid (Living Colour), Kaki King, Agata (Melt Banana), Marnie Stern, Jimi Hendrix, Eddie Van Halen, Dimebag Darrell. My favorite bassist is Matt Freeman (Rancid).

EQUIPMENT

Umm... too much. 2 powered Mackie PA speakers. A variety of mics. A bunch of guitars (though I tend to play my Gibson SG the most), a Schecter Bass, some keyboards, a set of drums, a bunch of stomp boxes, Fender HotRod Deluxe amp of some sort, my old high school coronet... silly "First Act" accordion from Meijer, etc. You know, the usual stuff.
