Rhythm driven experimental rock band looking for its Adrian Belew

Chicago IL

Description

Very rhythm driven noise-rock/weird rock band seeking a second guitarist to complete line-up. The band's sound touches on a lot of of elements and influences, it would be a lengthy list but here's a few: Beefheart, James Chance and The Contortions, Daughters, Yowie, Guerrilla Toss, Talking Heads' I Zimbra and Born Under Punches, industrial music, 80's downtown NYC stuff, some of the guitar playing in Gorguts' Obscura, the interlocking vibes on King Crimson's Discipline, etc etc. We need someone able to learn already existing parts for songs already written for 2 guitars and once that's accomplished, we can start playing shows, going into a studio and working on new material together as a unit. We can definitely help out with tabs and isolated instrumental files during the learning phase if necessary. Someone comfortable using effects like pitch shifters and reverb and delay would probably be good, as well as someone who is adept at using a whammy bar to alter and gradually curve pitches while playing parts [at times essentially cradling the whammy bar throughout sections]. We have a rehearsal space and well-recorded demos to share with anyone interested but please send samples or links to your previous bands or projects for us to hear first. Thank you.
