Christian Guitarist Looking To Form NON Christian Band

Los Angeles CA

Description

Hey, I am a long time guitar player and song writer. Looking to see if there are any crazy people out there who want to start a fun, loud, and creatively adventurous band. I don't have any big agenda for what the end result will be, but since I am a guitar player, I would hope that there are some guitar parts in the final product... Haha... Seriously though, what I bring to the table is that I come up with interesting progressions and riffs that tend to be the springboard for the rest of the band to add their parts to. I tend to work best with a singer / lyricist that can help me create a roadmap for the songs. Think Page / Plant, Edge / Bono... that sort of relationship. My influences are extremely broad, so I could give you a list as long as your arm of the artists and bands that have inspired me, but in the end, what draws me to any artist is just great songs. Everything from ABBA to Queens Of The Stone Age and all points in between. And I am willing to take on new horizons as I am inspired by the influences of the other members of the band... Again... as long as we all want to write great songs, then we are on the same page. That has to be the ultimate agenda of the band. So onto the whole Christian thing... I have a strong faith life, but consider myself "Post Church". I am not evangelist at all and really don't care that the other members of the band share my faith. So why did I even mention it here? It just gets down to lifestyle, to be honest. I don't think I want to be teaming up with people that are heavy into drugs, or into overtly sexualized content (which seems to be so prevalent these days). Anyone who has ever been in a band knows that you become like a family... almost married in a way... That's what the creative process does when you write music together... You bond in a very awesome and special way. So I wouldn't be comfortable "bonding" with people that don't at a minimum respect my faith life. If you are at all intrigued by this post, then please reach out and we can talk about it.
