We don't expect to be paid, however some compensation for travel and a meal is always nice. I would also suggest splitting the door at both gigs, so nobody gets stranded or burned. Maybe somewhere to sleep if it's a late night gig would be cool too. We would of course extend the same courtesy to you.
We look forward to making some new friends and making some people jump up in Indiana and Chicago.
This is what i'm looking for:
I'm trying to form a full band, so basically, bass, guitars, & vox. Maybe keys, if the music starts to call for it. I prefer that you know how to play the damn instruments...please? Reading and writing notation is really not a must...but it only makes sense if you can in order to communicate ideas better. (I can read so if theres some kind of tricky rythym/melody part it's just easier to look at the notation...if you can't read/write it's fine...i don't make a big deal of it, but it helps). Don't respond if you can't play or don't even know what a f***ing scale is. Everyone should still be learning in some way or another, but i want people with some degreee of musicianship already established.
Guitars- Melodic and harmonic (play off each other and sing, so to speak, with each other)
Bass- Know rythym. There should be a vibe between the drums and bass. Melodic and harmonic (you're a guitar too).
Vox- No sreamers/growlers. Screaming/growling is fine in it own rights and applications, but often its annoying. Need someone who's comfortble with his/her voice to sing melodies w/o being afraid to do so in front of strangers.
I don't want biasis towards any good musical form. I listen to anything that sounds good to my ear. Be open minded. Examples of what i like (what was on random on my ipod): The Mars Volta, Tool, Dream Theater, Pantera, Lamb of God, big band stuff (Buddy Rich, Louis Bellson etc...), Audioslave, Radiohead, Coldplay, Queens of the Stoneage, Green Day, Against Me...on and on i'll go. Examples of what i don't like: Rap...that's it. No rap.
Be within my general area. I have a pad to practice but i don't want someone and hour + out, because we would be mainly at my place to practice. I'm hoping that we can alternate practice spots too so a jam pad is a plus. Be available twice a week as well, after 5pm. I have a day job. Have some decent gear (last guy came w/ a 15watt...not loud enough).
ISO guitar and drum for 3 peice Calling for a drummer and a guitarist with vocals. I am looking to start a true 3 peice set up where everybody plays every body sings, and everybody writes.I am thinking of a mix and match with original and cover witch I am game to try most kind of music. I am open minded to try different things and I am located in NW Indiana. If interested please reply.
Some influences are Thrice, Tool, Rage Against the Machine, Soundgarden, Alice In Chains. All we ask is you are motivated, have good gear and fit in with what we're trying to do. This band is gonna kick ass, we're just one piece away from making that happen.
I'm looking for an actual ORIGINAL METAL BAND! Not metal core....not nu-metal! Some of the bands that have been an influence on me....Iron Maiden, Metallica, Nevermore, Dream Theater, Helloween, Savatage, In Flames, Iced Earth, Nightwish, After Forever, Flotsam and Jetsam, Cradle of Filth, Testament, Dimmu Borgir, Epica, Symphony X, Dark Tranquility and I could really go on and on until I get carpal tunnel typing and you get a migraine from reading.
I'm located in NW Indiana, and it'd be nice to find something around here or the southern Chicago area.
I am even open to the possibility of working with a female singer.
Also, I'm OK with a handful of covers, but not a full time cover band. I'm also OK if you drink or party it up a bit, as long as you're aware that there's a time and a place for it, and it's not in the middle of practice or before a show.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in....drop me a line.
About us: We are a very technical ‘harmonic metal’ style band. Basically we like to rock as hard as we can while still keeping a clear melody. (Sort of like Children of Bodom with less screaming and a more melodic singing)
Aerial Attack is a High school band looking to make some cool music and meet some cool people along the way. If this is for you... read on.
Requirements: You must be able to drum… duh… and you need your own set.
Hopefully you can drum in a metal style: lots of bass pedal, tons of fills, maybe some tempo changes… … … cowbell???…
We’re going to aim to practice once a week or so. Once we’re ready, we’ll get as many gigs as we can (Moderate commitment level)
Audition: We can arrange a meeting probably at wherever the drum set is. If you have a recording, audio, video, or both, we could take a look at that.
Contact the number at the bottom for more info. Ask for Hunter.
