ARE YOU AN EXPERIENCED DRUMMER? - COVERS/ORIGINALS We are a guitarist/singer & bassist, each with over 20 years playing experience. Serious about doing music, but have an easy going/fun disposition. We play laid back rock, with subtle funk, jazz & progressive influences. Interesting tunes, good arrangements & improvised elements.
The repertoire has already been performed, so there won't be much rehearsing. We don't expect you to quit your day job tomorrow, just as long as you can show up knowing your parts & sound good right away. Currently we do 70% covers, but have lots of completed, marketable, original songs. We'll be playing bars between Montreal & Ottawa on most weekends, participating in radio contests & putting out CD's ASAP.
We are open to adding a dynamic/outgoing female singer, once we're out gigging regularly.
If you want to "just jam for fun & have a good time", then this is not the band for you.
FREE rehearsal room near the Ontrio/Quebec border, basic drum kit provided
(no cymbals/high-hats/stands).
YOU MUST:
Speak English fluently. Be responsible & punctual. Be a happy/ballanced person. Be able to play it like the recording. Be solid & punchy, without being a head-banger. Be disciplined enough to learn your parts by yourself. Have a good sense of meter & play with subtlety & dynamics. Be serious & *available* to play every weekend (longterm) with our band. Be willing to commit to *OUR BAND ONLY* (not involved with other bands) Be a: non-smoker, drug free & sober. BONUS POINTS:
Send us a webpage link where we can hear you play. Preferably have your own car. Harmony vocals an asset. If you have a hot sister : )
WE WILL *ONLY* CONTACT YOU, IF YOU TELL US:
Specific songs that you used to play (20 or more) Specific bands/bars (when & where) you used to play. Musician & musical influences (specific artists). Specific bands/songs/genres that you *dislike*. Your day job, location, family situation. Your long term goals. BONUS POINTS:
Mention your favorite: Movies, TV shows & authors, your full date of birth.
We lean more to the cerebral side of things (ie: not sports or partying) & are also interested in all of that "esoteric/new-age" stuff. So it would help if you were on the same wave length to.
If all of this sounds a little too fussy for you, or doesn't seem worth the effort, then you may be missing the point of us asking all these questions. We are just saving time by being as specific as possible & are *definitly* worth it... Are you?
