Extremely fun and cool poppy math rock band seeks 2nd guitar or bass

Berkeley CA

Description

Hello Craigslist! My name is Farley and I play with a band called Feefawfum. We are playing weird, mathy rock music inspired by bands like Deerhoof and Black midi and stuff like that. We are currently a trio of guitar, bass, and drums, but we are looking to add a second guitarist to the band. That could mean that either 1). you join and play guitar or 2). you join and play bass and our current bassist switches to guitar. He's good at it! We're pretty open—we're mostly just looking for someone who is fun to be around, likes the music, and wants to be involved with the project. After we vibe it out a bit we can compare notes on our life goals playing niche rock music. We have some videos up on our YouTube page of recent performances. This will give you an idea of what we sound like! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLYo0fycECmonYMJnOMHBcQ/videos You can also find us on Instagram, which is where we're most socially active: https://www.instagram.com/feefawfumband/ There is an upcoming album that we've finished recording that features a second guitar in most of the songs. My ideal situation would be starting with learning these parts, modifying them as suits your playing style, and then writing new material together as a band. If you like the style from the videos I will send you some recordings from the album to work through and we can try things out! I can also tab/transcribe things for you if that's helpful, and we could just meet up to go over it by ear. Everybody learns differently! Probably pertinent: we rehearse in San Francisco, currently on Mondays. Generally aiming to play within the Bay Area 1-2 times a month and are starting to work up to taking the music on the road. Huge plusses: * You can improvise. * You can sing (or screech, or whatever) * I mean, A tripple double plus, can you harmonize? * You like both poppy and weird/experimental stuff, such that perhaps you both would sing along to "Since U Been Gone" and know who Derek Bailey is * You are not a terribly self-serious person If this sounds interesting please shoot me an email and tell me a bit about yourself. Please also send links to some things that you've played on if have that available. Also feel free to ask me questions! Byeeee!
