Brookline MA

Description

Hi, My name is Myles and I released a one-man rock album as Super Powered Yaks in March. I have songs for LP2 in the works but I'd like to test the waters first and see if any local musicians want to join the project so I can play out locally before I commit to playing/recording everything myself again for another full length. It was really exhausting! The first album is called Swell Up Sweetly if you'd like to check it out: https://superpoweredyaks.bandcamp.com/releases its also streaming everywhere. The music vid for the lead single is here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zr7P6OBXL4Y I would be on rhythm guitar and singing lead, so I am looking for the following: Drummer Lead Guitar/Synth (pref. w/ vox) Bass Guitar (pref w/ vox) Other influences are Stereolab, Oingo Boingo, of Montreal, Beck, Cranberries, STP, Marcy Playground, Blur, Tears for Fears, My Bloody Valentine, Car Seat Headrest, Kero Kero Bonito, and The Beatles. Some of those come through in my writing more than others, but those are my favs! I guess the through-line is eclectic, sometimes tricky and sometimes hard rock that never looses a pop sensibility. With a full release already out and slowly picking up traction, I'm looking for players who are happy to fit into the established sound and vision, but I'm also interested in what others have to bring to the table, especially when it comes to working on new material! If interested please reach out and I'll send anything I can to help earn one of my songs (prob Maybe Vanilla) and we'll find the time to try it out in person (I have plenty of basement room with a kit) Thanks! -Myles
