Updated: Jam Band Looking for Drummer

Portland OR

Description

***Since I'm very sick and tired of people being flaky, PLEASE do not reach out until you've read this entire ad. If you don't hear back from me, that's because I'll know you didn't read it, as well as, like I once heard someone say: "Do not blame me when you didn't read."*** Hello there! On behalf of my bandmates, I'm posting this ad in search of our drummer/multi-percussionist, who's preferably between the ages of 21 and early-thirties, as well as loves to go wild onstage when it comes to stage presence, dancing, aesthetics [outfits, jewelry, etc.] -- all that awesome-sauce stuff!! :) Personally, I've been fully vaccinated and am itching to start a jam band with some fun-loving folks, even with physical distancing going on, unfortunately. [that's just our wacky world today] :( Also personally, I admit that even though I've sung live in the past, have a very good ear, and can write a song in under 10 minutes, I still don't know a whole lot about recording and music theory yet. That's been tough for me to wrap my head around. But that's why we don't care what your level of experience is as long as you're serious about music but also want to have tons of laughs and fun. Speaking of being serious, though, please don't reach out if you: 1. Are flaky when it comes to communication, commitment, networking, and staying on top of emails and messages. 2. Want us to call or text you [I know that might be an unorthodox request but I honestly find it an obnoxious one. Email is my preferred correspondence.]. 3. Want to confine yourself to one or two genres. 4. Feel like you need to get drunk and/or high before performing. We promise we don't care if you do that offstage though ;) ~ ~ We would love to jam with you. Although we share a common interest in genres such as boogie rock, dance rock, pop rock, soft rock, soul, and smooth jazz, we are open to any suggestions you have for genres and songs. Speaking of songs, until more live music opens back up, we really think it'd be good for us all to work on these covers as we've all agreed upon, just so we can form an idea of what our sound as a band would eventually be: Radiohead's "Creep," Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah," Sir Elton John's "Tiny Dancer," and Nothing But Thieves's "Impossible." I really really am sorry to be rude but please don’t reach out to us just to say you want us all to just work on original stuff instead of covers to start. Keep holding up strong during all these wacky times, fellas. And we look forward to rockin'!! :)
