Looking to form a rad rock band
Description
I'm a singer songwriter in my 20s looking to start a rock band in the Kingston area. I'm heavily influenced by artists spanning many genres and many eras. The eclectic repertoire of bands like the Beatles, the majesty of Queen, the theatrics of Meat Loaf, the soul of Huey Lewis, the balls of AC/DC, the harmonies of the Beach Boys… I could go on with this bit, but I'll spare you. I'll just list off some other people I love…
Oingo Boingo
The Police
Elvis Costello
Barenaked Ladies (w/ Page)
The Lemon Twigs
Squeeze
Mac DeMarco
Rush
David Bowie
Phil Collins / Genesis
Sam Cooke
The Who
Green Day
Billy Joel
Nirvana
Cheap Trick
Elton John
Blues Traveler
60s Girl Pop
So many more…
As a writer I like to incorporate different styles such as funk, soul, theatre, latin, etc… into songs that have a rock core. I like to have rock be the starting point but I also allow a fairly wide scope in terms of style and influence. Very much in line with artists like the Beatles, Queen, and Elvis Costello. I like variety. Not afraid to experiment with any genre. Serving the song is paramount.
I'm eager to meet some like-minded musicians who are ambitious and willing to go all in if the opportunity arises. That being said, I'm okay with folks who may be interested in collaborating in a more casual way. At the end of the day, developing meaningful connections in the Kingston area is my goal.
On the band front…
I have a rehearsal space with a drum kit and PA. I have some amps. The jamspaxe is acoustically treated allowing for better sound in the room and less sound outside. Great for recording. We have flexibility.
Ideally we'd have a consistent weekly rehearsal with an ultimate goal of writing, recording, and performing live. Also down to mess around with some covers.
Need…
Lead guitar
Rhythm guitar
Bass
Drums
Keys
Brass (I wish)
Vocal ability not required but desired.
Let's make some music.
