GP User Info... | Hey, I am looking to put together a new ska band in Victoria this fall. This is a very open project, if you are interested in playing funk/blues/ska/reggae/punk then this project could be for you. Looking for: Bassist, Brass, Drummer, Guitarist, and possibly lead vocalist. Lyric and songwriting skills are a big plus, and desire to commit to practice and advancing the band are crucial. This project will involve building a band from the ground up. I would like to start meeting musicians in the next two - three weeks, ideally we would be ready to play a show before Christmas. If you are interested please e-mail me at: [email protected] or [email protected] Looking forward to hearing from you, and creating some skank-worthy tunes! Cheers - Wed, 5 Aug 2009 6:21pm Edited: Thu, 6 Aug 2009 10:27pm | ||
