PLEASE READ ENTIRE AD BEFORE MESSAGING.
PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND IF YOU DON’T HAVE AUDIO SAMPLES OF YOUR PLAYING OR SINGING TO SEND ME BEFORE SCHEDULING AN AUDITION.
***SERIOUS INQUIRIES ONLY***
Looking to start or join a hard rock band for writing, performing, and recording (on a budget) original hard rock music. My main priority is artistic expression; writing and performing original music. We would also do limited, high quality covers to round out our set and keep the crowd entertained.
I have a drummer but we have been having a heck of a time finding a guitarist and vocalist. We are in our late 40s and looking for bandmates 30+
I play bass and contribute backing vocals. I mainly write on guitar.
I would like to find other folks with similar goals/ambitions, musical tastes, and availability, so please read the following and let me know if you think we match up well:
Goals:
I enjoy writing my own songs and contributing to writing and arranging others’ original compositions as well. I would place a high emphasis on other members contributing original ideas/songs as well.
I’d like to work toward eventually playing 1-2 gigs/month. Practices until then would ideally be 1x week.
We have some contacts in the industry and will be able to book gigs once the band is up and running.
Musical tastes:
Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, Big Wreck/Thornley, Clutch, Blind Melon, Audioslave/RATM, Pearl Jam, Black Sabbath, Guns ‘n’ Roses, Lenny Kravitz, Cinderella (later, blues rock material), I Mother Earth, early Arkells, Ben Harper, Corrosion of Conformity, Velvet Revolver, STP, Black Crowes, Gomez, QOTSA, Incubus, Monster Magnet, Queen, Reef, Radiohead, U2, Tool, White Zombie
Availability:
I am typically available all day/evening Friday-Sunday only, and maybe an occasional Thursday evening, as my work schedule permits.
I have a jam space with a modest PA at my place in midtown St. Catharines that we can use during my availability until about 8 or 9 PM. I’m able to meet later than that if we end up jamming elsewhere.
We are based in Niagara and would prefer same in potential bandmates. I don’t really want to travel outside Niagara for frequent practices.
Having your own equipment and reliable transportation would be helpful.
