Hello! I am looking to start a band and am looking for like-minded people, both in music and in commitment.
I’m looking for weekly rehearsals, both to get good at playing together and to come up with new ideas. Could be something that sometimes needs some prep work between rehearsals. I’m looking to get to playing shows somewhat quickly, in that I would love to write some material somewhat quickly and start playing. I would like collaboration to be part of the songwriting. Very goal oriented stuff.
In terms of music, I love a lot of stuff, but would generally want to make somewhat energetic and physical feeling music. Of course, contrast, nuance, dynamics, all are important, but very generally speaking I like a physicality in the style and the sounds. I play a bit of everything in a “standard rock band”, so I’m more so open to whoever reaches out! Drums, bass, guitar, keys, synths, aux percussion, electronics, singers, whatever!
I will now just list a bunch of recognizable stuff I like in alphabetical order:
