My friend (Zakk, 5-string electric bassist, 18) and I (vocalist, 17) are looking for a standup bassist and drummer between the ages of 17-25 for a experimental alt-rock band. The whole point is that we want to create a full band sound w/o the guitar. The hope is that the stand bassist can play with the bow and is looking for a new style. And we would like a drummer who can kick out the high-energy beats. We would like this to be a serious project that plays live and all. Our influences include: She Wants Revenge, Coheed and Cambria, Death From Above 1979, Smashing Pumpkins, Stabbing Westward, Violent Femmes, The Cure, and many more.

If your interested, either post here or e-mail me at [email protected]. - Mon, 13 Aug 2007 9:02pm Edited: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 7:02pm

i dono if the bowed bass sounds cool to me. What i think would be cool would be a bass doing all the guitar work, and then an organ/keyboard playing the low bassnotes instead of the doublebass.

We still need a drummer (high priority), and stand up bassist (possibly not required), and keyboardist (maybe more realistic, less priority than drums). The influences are just a short list of bands that inspire us, though there are many. We just don't want to be another DFA79 if we get more people involved. E-mail me [email protected] . We want to get this thing asap. - Tue, 28 Aug 2007 6:15pm
