Drummer wanted for offbeat indie rock

La Verne CA

Description

We are a looking for a drummer for a casual band: record and jam, play occasional gigs, and maybe make a YouTube video or two. If interested, send links to your playing. We are working on a new album of ten written songs that I will promote on my Instagram (23,000 followers @tectonic_city) The music is eclectic indie rock with offbeat, catchy, entertaining tunes. You could say it's 90s-influenced Zappa-tinged college indie rock, with a touch of jam and a touch of roots, plus funny lyrics. The band name is Octopolis and you can find us on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Music, Bandcamp, or at octopolis.org. For a good sample of the music style, check out the Spotify playlist "Octopolis: Hits" https://open.spotify.com/user/octopolist/playlist/6Rz30ZoNjBzLiMIeu6JKhQ?si=xq3alShKTditma8aVmp-Pw or YouTube playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaxhY3mKa13Q4DiKP8oVHFE0nwYKIlLHN or Bandcamp: http://octopolis.bandcamp.com Rehearsals in Covina and Pasadena.
