Synthwave/Synthpop/80s pop/80s rock

Columbus OH

Description

I'm a guitar player and a big fan of 80s music including everything from the hair bands to the synth pop and new wave genres. I was thinking with the popularity of groups like The 1975, Heim and synthwave artists like the The Midnight, it would be really awesome to put together a similar type of project. It would be ideal to find another guitar player, keyboardist, vocalist, and drummer, but I'm open to any configuration even if we're just a duo or trio. A few of my own influences are Dokken, Ratt, Whitesnake, The Outfield, Rush, Eddie Money, Scandal/Patty Smyth, Van Halen, Survivor, A Flock of Seagulls, Tears for Fears, The Midnight, Mitch Murder, Miami Nights 1984, FM-84, Kristine, Fire Tiger, Go West, Huey Lewis and the News, Strangeways, Richard Marx, Mark/Marcie Free, FM, and many more! I have all of my own gear and my own home recording set up, but would be open to going to a professional studio if this became more serious. But in the short term I'm happy to meet up/jam/get to know each other and see where things go from there. I already compose and record my own music and you can hear what I've done on my soundcloud. soundcloud.com/jekt-1 If interested please reach out via email and we can exchange phone numbers afterwards. I've invited too many robocallers in the past from craigslist by giving out my phone number.
