40-somethings seek drummer

West Linn OR

Description

Two 40-something musicians seek a drummer to join our band. Us: two gentlemen into garage rock, and indie rock and roll from all generations (50s, 60s, 70s, 80s… you get the idea). Garage rock but with other influences. Simple riffs, catchy hooks, upbeat, but innovative. One of us plays guitar. One of us is primarily a bassist but also plays keys and guitar. We have around a dozen songs roughed out. We have day jobs and not looking to “make it”. But operating a quality band is important to us. You: a drummer, skilled, talented, contributory, participatory, committed and fun. Also prefer you to be keeping your shit together in life (as well as any of us can these days). Together: we rehearse most Thursday evenings at (an evolving) home studio in West Linn (free, clean, temperature controlled and secure). We’ll add more time to prep for a show or to record as necessary but right now we try to be consistent but limited. We’re into writing and recording and recording as part of the writing process. And pretty much being a DIY autonomous unit as much as possible. We’d love you to bring and share ideas and participate in the band in ways beyond just keeping time. We hope to start playing some shows in the coming months, by summer for sure. Write back. Tell us about yourself, influences, gear, what you’re into. Send samples and a pic and anything else that’s important to you to share relative to being in a band.
