Corporate professional looking for local Rock band mates in 20s,30s

Encinitas CA

Description

Hi musical people. I am a corporate professional with flexible day job, somewhat classically trained as a musician and also trained as Audio Engineer, however, I WANNA ROCK so lets get to it. Maybe you are a guitarist, drummer, bassist, or pianist-keyboardist looking for a rock band mate with the responsible qualities of a normal professional human being? Maybe you play an electric ORCHESTRAL instrument like electric violin or cello and want to play hard rock & metal gigs instead of yet another recital? Recently I have been the band leader and Vocalist for rock and hard rock covers in an amateur level band. Previously I was a lead guitarist in a local rock cover band where we rehearsed rock/hard rock/pop punk songs from bands like Stone Temple Pilots, Alice In Chains, Green Day, Metallica, RATM, Guns & Roses, Slash, Jack White, Audioslave, also many other old school 70s, 80s classic rock band songs, and as a band we played a few local events and charity gigs around town. Those band mates have moved on (with family life) so I am looking for new musicians to perform with. I am looking for band mates (guys/girls/others) who want weekly rehearsals of rock covers and play out where ever the opportunity might go (There is no money in this but you know that already!). Hopefully in the areas of Encinitas, Carlsbad, Vista, San Marcos, Oceanside, San Clemente. SD is too far of a weekly drive. I am looking to find some musicians who are passionate about playing songs to the best of their ability, DO THEIR HOMEWORK, and eager to grow as a unit. NOT looking to "hang out and drink beers". In fact I do NOT drink, do not smoke, do not vape, do not take drugs, and looking for similar musicians. In it for the love of music and learn songs like they agreed to do for the group. I hope the set list will include newer hard rock songs from our generation, not looking to rehash the same old 70s, 80s classic covers which everyone else plays. Newer hard rock, melodic metal, yeah lets go! I also Orchestrate and Arrange covers when needed into more interesting long-form song structures so they are not "yet another" note-for-note cover. I use a DAW to create practice tracks for the band and you should be prepared to record tracks for remote collaboration. Band mates MUST BE ABLE TO READ CHARTS AND DO THEIR HOMEWORK in order to do this. So if you are not disciplined enough to print & use a simple song chart then we are probably not a good musical fit. If you ever voted for Trump then you can go fuck yourself, you're not welcome in my band or in my audience.
