Starting Rock Band

Malden MA

Description

Hey, I'm a guitarist and looking to start a rock band with people in their 20's/30's. Over the past few years I've tried to start something up with many different musicians that were into similar artists as me. I think what might work better is finding musicians that have a passion for making music the same way I do. So the sound for this band is to be determined, but I don't want it to be hard rock nor soft rock and I want it to be modern sounding. Some of my influences are: The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, David Bowie, Radiohead, The Libertines, Wilco, Blur, Mac Demarco, Alvvays. I recently read Jeff Tweedy of Wilco's book "How to Write One Song". Some excerpts that stuck out are: "I believe most of us only spend time doing the things that we truly want to do. So if you're doing something with your free time other than writing a song, it's because you really don't want to write a song." "Now let's discuss the truth behind what hard, persistent work and a determined outlook can do you for you. There are those among us who lose their nerve when things become difficult. Let's face this head on. Ample excuses will always be available when you're talking yourself out of making any work of art...Giving up becomes a habit. And the delayed gratification that comes from a song finished with some hardship is going to teach you more about writing songs than this entire book will ever be able to impart." If those resonated with you and you aim to spend most of your free time making music then hit me up! But please, write something that shows you read through the ad, give some background, share samples of your playing/singing, etc.
