I'm a 21 y/o guitarist/bassist/drummer with a decent jam space in my garage with some basic recording stuff. I play piano, mandolin and mandola/banjo as well. I'd like to start a band with anyone interested in any combination of these bands: Colourbook, Broken Social Scene, The Constantines, Fugazi, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, The Kinks, Destroyer, Pavement, The Velvet Underground, Boris, Sublime. To name a few. I'm not committed to any of these in particular, and i just want to make some heavy grooves and a wall of instruments. I am envisioning as many members as we can compose for. I just want to rock out and have fun with as many different combinations of instruments we can find. Lots of fun, creative, experimental, but committed to creating a party orchestra to get people moving. - Mon, 13 Aug 2007 11:57pm Edited: Tue, 14 Aug 2007 12:08am

Right on. I saw your other post steve. I really like some of the bands you listed. Tool being one of my favorites.

I'm going to guess i'm about an advanced amateur at the guitar (acoustic or electric), bass, drums. So i thought it would be cool to have a band with some other well-rounded musicians, switch around and see what different sounds come from different combinations. I don't have a ride cymbal yet (looking around for a good deal right now) so it would be cool to have some other percussion stuff around.

I'm pretty much free anytime this week if anyone wants to jam. We try to jam before 8 pm so the neighbors don't phone the cops on us, but thats only happened once in the past at 10pm on a tuesday night. fair enough i said. - Tue, 21 Aug 2007 2:52pm

Hey. Sunday at 12 then? Sounds good to me. I have contacted a drummer / keys player i know who may be interested as well, and may just come by to listen in. If you email me, i'll give you my phone # and address.

I'm looking forward to it. I just dropped $400 on a new guitar to celebrate. yeeahh - Sat, 25 Aug 2007 4:21pm
