Looking for shoegaze/dream pop musicians

Columbia SC

Description

Greetings! I'm putting together a live band for my shoegaze/dream pop project and am looking for some musicians interested in gigging around town, maybe even getting into some of the surrounding bigger cities if it seems economically viable. I have a family and a job so I'm not looking to leave on a 6 week tour anytime soon, but I have certainly missed playing live since the pandemic and am hoping to get the ball rolling again. I have a 3 song EP released and an 8 song LP finished, but I'm hoping to play a few shows to build up to the release of the album. Ideally I'm looking for a bass player, drummer and extra guitar player but I'm open to playing bass if it fits the project best. I'm planning to play live only a handful of times a year and I don't want to rehearse this project to death; I'm looking for a practice 'as-needed' situation as opposed to a weekly rehearsal. Hopefully maybe 1-2 rehearsals before each show, maybe a few more for the first time out just to get everyone on the same page. You will have a ton of freedom with your parts as long as we capture the overall feel of the songs. The arrangements are pretty straight forward as far as chord progression and rhythm, the dynamics are what really makes the songs what they are. Obviously with an originals project there will probably not be a ton of cash being raked in but I promise to split whatever a pittance we generate fairly. We can rehearse in my garage in West Columbia which has a mediocre drum-set already here and the equipment to run in-ear monitors. If this seems like something you're interested in, e-mail me with your phone number and I'll shoot you a soundcloud link with the LP on it and we can talk from there!
