Description

WHO WE ARE: Hello there. At the moment we are mainly a basic rhythm section (guitar, bass and drums). We have 8-9 original songs learned. I am the main songwriter and arranger and at present. Other songwriters and arrangers are welcome, provided what they develop in this group is complimentary to my own developments. Collaboration is also welcome, but as a songwriter I will naturally be protective of the space where I can develop my ideas. From what I can see now, much of what we are doing now is primarily a mix of post punk and new wave type ideas ( Devo, The Clash, Talking Heads, Elvis Costello, Blondie, Gang Of Four, Siouxsie & The Banshees ) mixed up with R&B and funk/soul/disco ( Sly Stone, CHIC, Earth Wind & Fire, Prince, Erykah Badu,... The sound is kind of a retro late 70s early 80s type of sound. We tend to work out blends of sound as opposed to overreliance on power chords. Anyone heavily influenced by pop punk would probably not be satisfied here. We have a space with amps and what not, LGBTQ friendly, 420 friendly WHO YOU ARE: You are a conscientious and competent musician.
