Guitarist/keyboardist looking to form dream pop band

Chicago IL

Description

Hello Craigslist. I’m a guitarist/keyboardist looking to start a new band. Dreamy with an emphasis on atmospheric synths and washed-out guitars. Occasional moments of driving fuzz and grittier dark wave stuff. I have some demos and snippets put together and although I have a solid idea of what I’m looking for, I’m all about collaboration and fleshing out the stuff that I’m not good at (rhythm section, vocals). The goal would be to write enough songs to play out, record, and do some limited touring. I have a full-time job and another band but I have the flexibility and motivation to make this a priority, especially if things really start to piece together. I have a practice space in the city that we can share with my other band. And I have a decent amount of gear to get things started (guitars, amps, hardware synth, MIDI controllers, laptop w/DAW, interface, mics, etc.). Some influences: Jay Som, Beach House, CHVRCHES, Porches, Alvvays, Melody’s Echo Chamber, Grapetooth, Let’s Eat Grandma, Black Marble, The Cure
