ABOUT

Currently playing in an original band and not looking to change that, but I'm itching to join a side project to create an energetic alternative cover band with some talented local players.
Looking to play melodic type tracks, not typical bar tunes either, and interested in taking covers that may or may not necessarily be well known and changing it to something more creative (if it works).
Looking for musicians of all genders with their own equipment and some live playing experience. Age is of no real concern, but the music genre should speak for itself, and your commitment to practice and jam would be an asset as well.
If you can visualize playing the following two tracks live then we have something in common.
Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IC6-hR4YLpE)
Sometime Around Midnite by The Airborne Toxic Event (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wSMuyI6XPv8)
Redondo Beach - Patti Smith (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mO7VXHKafwU)
Above all else, this is not MY band, everyone has equal say and responsibility to make this project a success and get out and play live.
Thinking the band make up should be:
- Drummer/Percussionist
- 2 guitarists that are willing to trade off rhythm and leads on both acoustic and electric
- Keyboardist/midi/programmable expert
- Vocalist should also be able to play one of the above instruments and be able to harmonize
- I play bass and can and will trade off on vocals
