Loud + fun

Portland OR

Description

My name is Tim, I moved to Portland in February after living in Southern Oregon for the last nine years. I’m hoping to start or join a band. Particularly one that is loud + fun. I’m good to practice 2-4 times a month as long as it preplanned with some homework in-between. I am a dad so kindergarten stuff could come up from time to time. I am mostly a vocalist/lyricist, and that's what I love doing most. But I'm pretty good at jamming in a pinch on my microKorg my bass, or my guitar. I mostly play by ear, but if you give me some homework in advance to practice I'm pretty quick to catch on. I also love writing songs and have dozens of ideas backlogged. I have some of my past work at the following link, but it may be worth scrolling down to the Rent Money Big stuff (2001-2009). That's closest to my heart, but there is some solo stuff that I think you may find interesting along the way: http://athoughtbytim.com/hear.html I have a few demos that I recently recorded but I'm extremely eclectic so don't think this is all I'm capable of: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Pl9E_bYRz57tKFFNoz7Og2zbRCDLr9wV?usp=sharing I have lots of ideas for a band sound but the one I’m most excited about right now is a mix between the Liars & Fuzz. Maybe with double hollering vocals. I do have a demo ready for that sound: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12HMbll-PBIZQEIHsQ8f9dkvC-ygvF_Lg/view?usp=drivesdk My main loves are St Vincent, Iggy Pop, Sleater Kinney, Courtney Barnett, Ty Segall/Fuzz, Liars, My Bloody Valentine, CHVRCHES, Phantogram, Gang of Four, Botch, Masters of Reality, The Melvins, and Queens of the Stone Age, particularly the Dessert Sessions stuff but I'm not scared to throw on some Harry Stiles, Lizzo or RuPaul. Would love to meet and/or jam. I'm probably only available 3-4 nights per month as I have a 6-year-old and family at home. I reside in the Plesant Valley (SE Portland) area, but def excited to play some shows around Oregon when the time is right. No practice space atm but I do have one lead and a few connections I could ask if we need a space to practice. Cheers, -Tim
