Keys and drums needed for dark, atmospheric original project

Kansas City MO

Description

Hello! I'm a singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist operating under the band name House Of Transgressor. Earlier this year I recorded & released an album of songs, and I'm in the process of recording my second album now. I'm looking for musicians who would like to play this music live with me- specifically one or two keyboardists and a drummer. The music is dark, with a goth-y edge to it (although I wouldn't call it a "goth band")... and the next album will probably be even more anti-social than the first. It's been described as "Sexy, futuristic, haunting, beautiful, apocalyptic" by Todd Fink of The Faint, and "a bluesy collection of keyboard-driven gothic tracks that haunt like a stroll down a dark, rain-soaked New Orleans alley in a weird ‘80s horror movie." As far as writing & recording is concerned, I want to keep this basically a 'solo project' and do everything myself on the albums, so this situation will only work for people who are happy just PLAYING the music without needing to contribute to the songwriting. That being said, in a band setting I'm not a micro-managing dictator- I just have very specific ideas about how the songs should be written. As for the qualities I'm looking for- the only thing I really care about is if you love the music and want to play it with me. I also don't like dealing with backwards thinking or closed-minded people, so if you're prone to any of the common 'isms' this isn't for you. As far as influences go- late 70's Berlin period Bowie and Iggy, Roxy Music, Suicide, Joy Division, Bauhaus, D.A.F., The Birthday Party/early Nick Cave solo, later period Swans, later period Einstürzende Neubauten...there are many more, but that's a start. It's easier to understand if you just listen to the album: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0VDH6U914l99ryJlssTVdA?si=UZAPnYwVRda-I_pvHJc7fg If you like what you hear, please do get in touch.
