I play the guitar and I'm looking to put a group together that would be somekind of Envy/Sigur Ros/Isis kind of a thing but heavy on the Envy.
Mainly I hope to sound somewhat like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZGG5q_F088Y

I'd be potentially down for playing bass in something like this. If you get some more people together and are looking for a bass player, drop me a line. Also, I can do backup vocals, etc, have all my own gear, yadda yadda yadda - Mon, 10 Mar 2008 9:37pm Edited: Mon, 10 Mar 2008 9:42pm

funny, I'm in an envy-like band that's doing our first jam on sunday. I'm glad you know what screamo is, haha. are you into City of Caterpillar? another screamo band with slow post-rock-ish leanings. I have a drummer and bassist together, with the bassist planning on doing vocals (nick gibas of hierophant). I'm doing guitar as it stands but maybe could switch to exclusively bass, or dual guitars, or something. you should shoot me an email if you're interested and let me know how old you are, what kind of gear you have, some other bands you're into, that sort of thing. I'm 20, I think Gibas is like 22 or something, and the drummer is 17 I think. We're hoping to range between the Envy style and fash harshness in the form of Orchid, maybe just a bit angrier and more climactic than Envy. I was hoping on getting some songs written and solid quickly so I can record some songs for a school project. I'd also have to talk to the other guys since I don't know how they feel about expanding the band. but it's not fully settled anyway. you got me excited with this post. - Fri, 14 Mar 2008 1:40am

thanks for the email dude. for anyone else interested, this dude John is a keen guy who is really into starting a band. I'm going to back out of this whole thread and stick with what I've got going. Dax and Tambo are cool guys and you guys should find a drummer and start jamming! dax, are you ever thinking of drumming again for a band? - Mon, 17 Mar 2008 4:45am
