Post punk shot in the dark

Athens TX

Description

I am 36 and play a few instruments. I have been in bands and want to start a post punk band now. I can show you former bands I have been in and current demos I am working on to give an idea of what I want to do. I prefer to play guitar in this project and just don't know too many people who are available to play in a band and also like this type of music. Everyone is doing other stuff it seems. Dark, sometimes fast and aggressive, sometimes moody and slow. Whatever is needed to make the song good. I have been doing this for a while and I am confident with the right people this could be a really cool project because I have done it before. I am not trying to blow up or get huge. I want to start by recording a good EP and see what happens. Maybe play some shows and see where it leads. I would want the members of this group within 10 years of my age but if younger, old enough to get into bars legally and play shows. I dont care what your gender or preference is. Be a decent person and serious enough to get this done and we will be happy. Please know how to play your instrument well enough for the style of music we are attempting but, you don't have to be a shredder. In fact, I would prefer not to play with people who are interested in show boating. Drummer needs to be dynamic and able to keep time, not Buddy Rich. I am not into hard drugs but am not a prude about other stuff. I am not down with hard stuff though. Some of my favorite bands in the last 5 years have been protomartyr, preoccupations and deeper. Older stuff I dig is varied between minor threat and Christian death and I am also into other kinds of music. I have access to a home studio that would do most of what is needed to make a good EP. I have synths and sampler equipment too for ambient type moments in songs or whatever. I am just finishing a full length, long distance synth pop album with a friend and need to get back to some intense music. Text me if you are sure this sounds cool. Please be able to at least provide a recording or vid of you playing so we don't get in an awkward situation. Happy hunting - T
