Hey, I'm a 22 year-old guitarist/singer/songwriter. I'm looking to start jamming with people and eventually forming a band. I like mostly Alternative Rock. I'm looking for a drummer, bass player, guitarist, keyboardist. Anyone really. I'm not a huge heavy metal or present day punk music fan. I'd like to stick to writing and collaborating with people but I would be open to doing covers for fun. I have 7 or 8 songs written. Here are my major influences:

Nirvana
Radiohead
Neil Young


Here are some of the many bands I like: Aracade fire, Broken social scene, Buck 65, Boards of Canada, Pixies, Dinosaur Jr., Sonic Youth, The Beattles, Smashing Pumpkins, Neutral Milk Hotel, DJ Shadow, Sufjan Stevens, New Pronographers, Bjork, Red Hot Chilipeppers, Interpol, Miles Davis, My Bloody Valentine, Outkast, Alice in Chains, TV on the Radio, Talking Heads, Jimi Hendrix, Caribou, The Tragically Hip, Weezer...

I'd love to get in on this if I could. I play guitar, bass, drums, piano, mandolin. I'm pretty well rounded on all of them. Probably best at guitar/bass (6 years), but i have been focusing on drums for a year now (i started years ago, but never got into it). I share at least 3/4s of your influences. I may be going up to Cortes isl. on saturday/sunday. but there is also a chance i may not be leaving til monday. I can let you know if i'm available.

anyone have a space? i've got room for about 4-5 people in mine, with a low-end mic and basic recording stuff. basic. - Tue, 21 Aug 2007 8:19pm

hey guys! sorry i've been busy the past while trying to wrap up summer and get ready for school.

Steve - Ya i'd love to get together. i really digge dyour myspace song but i e-mailed you months ago and you never e-mailed me back.

John - Always up for a bass player/guitarist. plus it would be super sweet if you have/play drums and have a place to jam. it's expensive going to projamspace... plus i'm in talks with a drummer (though i haven't called in in a while) so we could maybe all get together soon

Also i think i'm going to do coffe house show downtown soon to try out some acoustic material i've been writing over the summer. I'd invite anyone to come if you want to see if you like my stuff. I'll let you know when and where soon

Yeah. My jam space could potentially be really awesome if we put any money into it. I just need a band to justify it first.. send me an email. school starts on the 5th for me. I think i'm free the day before that, and then most days in the late afternoon. We just have to stop jamming by 8pm, with the possibility of being later on a friday/saturday night. - Sat, 25 Aug 2007 4:26pm
