Bass and drums wanted for indie jam rock Dad/Mom band recording fun

hewitt st, Los Angeles CA

Description

I'm a guitarist/singer/writer patiently looking for the right drummer and bassist for a casual band to record my eighth album, and maybe play an occasional local gig or make YouTube videos. The music is eclectic indie rock with offbeat, catchy, entertaining tunes. I also play drums and bass (see below) so I value your great chops. Drummers: I like tasty fills and solos and I purposely write in lots of different rhythms so you won't get bored. Bassists: I'll never ask you to just play root notes, and I prefer melodic lines. This is all just for fun, although you will definitely get published recordings out of it. For a good sample of the music style, search for my previous recordings under the name Octopolis. https://open.spotify.com/user/octopolist/playlist/6Rz30ZoNjBzLiMIeu6JKhQ?si=xq3alShKTditma8aVmp-Pw or Bandcamp: http://octopolis.bandcamp.com Or http://www.octopolis.org If you like the music, please send links/mp3s/video of your playing. I'm 48, with wife and kids and flexible day job (professor). I'm happy to have anyone who likes the music and can play, regardless of age/race/gender/etc, or whether or not you have kids. If you need to know that I don't have nine heads, here's videos of me noodling around the bass: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIVb4iz2GSU and on the drums: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q3o9gd81VI Rehearsals can be anywhere from central LA to points east. (I live in the Claremont/Pomona area.)
