late 70s-80s alternative rock

San Diego CA

Description

I'm looking to join—or to start—a band that plays guitar-based alternative rock from the late 70s through the 80s. I'm a 52-year-old bassist with tons of experience and good gear. I also have experience singing lead and fronting an original band, so I can handle some vocal duties but hope to share them with other band members. I'm new to San Diego. I've got a few things going musically, but I would really like to be part of a WORKING band that plays post-punk, power pop, New Wave, No Wave, college alternative, etc. Just putting this out there. Interested singers, drummers, guitarists, even keyboardists, please let me hear from you! I'm thinking of playing songs by such artists as: R.E.M. The Smiths The Clash Elvis Costello Talking Heads The Cure Television Gang Of Four The Church Echo and the Bunnymen The Jam XTC Psychedelic Furs The Replacements to name only a few. And maybe include some more mainstream artists who are "alternative adjacent"—The Police, Blondie, Duran Duran, Bowie, Pretenders, etc.
