Description
I'm a guitarist, singer and songwriter in East Hollywood looking to form a band
Employed, have transportation, vaccinated
Stylistically the band I'm hoping to form could be categorized broadly as Indie Rock with a lot of influences from 60s and 70s Country, Soul, Pop and Rock as well as a fair amount of 80s, 90s, Alternative, Punk, Shoegaze influence
Short version, I'm just trying to play fun, upbeat, relatively hard hitting Rock with a twang and a willingness to explore
I'm hoping to find creative and inspired people not necessarily professional musicians
No previous band experience is necessary
The priority right now is for a drummer
Have guitars pretty much covered, have keys/strings and possibly trumpet but another keys player is more appealing to me than another guitarist
Other instrumentalists would be cool too, so bring your mandolin, dobro, lap steel, pedal steel, saxophone, whatever you have, I'm interested
Really want to hit it hard with a jam once a week at least in the new year
Here is a list of influences
Bruce Springsteen, Minutemen, Dennis Wilson(70s Beach Boys too), Tom Petty, Starflyer 59, Gram Parsons, Joni Mitchell, Lucero, Husker Du(Sugar, Bob Mould solo stuff), Dan Andriano(of Alkaline Trio), John Prine, Teenage Fanclub, Neil Young, The Gaslight Anthem(Brian Fallon's solo stuff too), Wipers, Jawbreaker(but maybe more like Jets to Brazil), Lucinda Williams, Bear vs Shark, Jesus and Mary Chain, Elvis Costello(the first few records produced by Nick Lowe), Radioactivity(and The Marked Men), Galaxie 500(and Luna), Nick Drake, Warren Zevon, Merle Haggard, Buck Owens, Yo La Tengo
