Starting new band

Salem OR

Description

I want to start a new band, and I'm looking for other musicians who are interested in joining. I'm primarily a bass player, though I dabble with guitar or whatever other instruments are around. I'd like the band to have a collaborative writing process, with everyone involved bringing ideas to the table and putting them together in whatever way serves the song best. I live in Falls City, but have a car and can get to practice wherever we decide to put it. We could even use my garage if that's the best option. I work weekday afternoons, but have a pretty open schedule otherwise. As with most folks, my personal music taste is rather broad. The styles I'm most interested in playing would be: Something heavy and dark with punk and metal influences, in the vein of Trap Them, Neurosis, All Pigs Must Die, Loma Prieta, Mastodon, Converge, Every Time I Die, Xibalba, KEN Mode, etc. OR Something more melodic and accessible, but still with a punk undertone like Iron Chic, Hot Water Music, Coliseum, Gaslight Anthem, Foxing, Lawrence Arms, Pup, Against Me, The Menzingers, Drug Church, etc. OR Something else entirely, as long as its interesting and we are having a good time. We can do Warren Zevon covers, jazzy hip hop, Hildegard von Bingen chants over droning metal riffs, whatever. Shoot me an email if you're interested in being involved in the project. Tell me what instrument(s) you play, and what some of your influences are. Here are a couple of my old bands where I played bass and did backing vocals: https://madraallta.bandcamp.com/album/demo-2014 https://youtu.be/Y-iaUG8LUHM Final note: I don't have any interest in playing with people who are racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, or any of that shit. They generally don't make good art and are no fun to hang out with.
