03-27-12 – Atlanta, GA>Birmingham, AL – We’re looking for a third player, somebody who plays upright bass (one of those goofy Dearmond things with the rubber strings would work, too, I suppose, assuming you can play it without getting creeped out), preferably, a girl who can sing some lonesome harmonies.

We practice after 8 on Sunday nights at a church (it’s after everybody clears out, so we have the place to ourselves, but I wanted to warn you in case churches are an issue for you). We’re not a “Christian band” (whatever that means); we’re just looking for somebody who’s reliable, barely to moderately talented, and who digs folk/old-time/bluegrass/etc, ala Nickel Creek, Vigilantes of Love, Woody Guthrie, Gillian Welch.

To let me know you’re not a spammer, when you reply, please include the answer to this question:
Fill in the blank in this lineage: Woody Guthrie->Bob Dylan->?????

There’s not one right answer, but there’s lots of wrong answers (example: G. Love). Bonus points for a coherent and compelling argument.

09-22-11 – Los Angeles, CA>San Diego, CA – Simply put, we need a singer. We have regular gigs at the Kibitz Room and at Suzy’s (Hermosa Beach) and need a new singer to join us. We’re playing covers of mostly 70s, 80s, 90s rock and need someone who can get those Steve Perry and Mike Reno high notes as well as those soulful Paul Rogers tones.
About us: We’ve been playing since February and have already gotten recurring gigs at the two above-mentioned venues. We have drums, bass, and guitar (all male). We all have regular jobs and don’t treat the band like it’s a full-time job. We don’t see the band as a gateway to stardom. We’re three guys who love playing good tunes at bars and we have a great time doing it…and we’re pretty good at it. We’re not playing to supplement our income, we’re not playing because we’re holding onto any kind of rock star dream. In the interest of full disclosure, our singer left because she had anxiety issues and wasn’t every comfortable with the music or performing live…not because of any weird personality conflicts or drama. We’re a very low-drama group. We’re playing ZZ Top, Journey, Bad Company, Loverboy, Stone Temple Pilots, Weezer, Black Crowes, Mellencamp, Bryan Adams, Cheap Trick, etc.
About you: You love to sing. You love to perform. Maybe you’ve been in a band, maybe you haven’t. Bonus points if you can play keyboard. You don’t “need” the band to supplement your income or won’t become concerned about gigging more than a few times a month because you need the money. You’re personable, funny, and easy to get along with. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: 1

08-08-11 – Seattle, WA>Portland, OR – Want to create a dream poppy trio and perform some songs I’ve written and write new ones. Think Beach House, Blonde Redhead, Elliott Smith, Beatles, Grandaddy. Want a synth/keys player and a drummer, preferably around my age.
Me: 27 yr old, play guitar/keys/sing. I write and record a lot of stuff. I want to get a trio going to play some of the things I’ve written, write new stuff, and play. I will post links to some of the songs I’d want to play at the end of this, but I don’t necessarily want this project to sound exactly like the recordings. I’d want to see how we can play these songs, and create more, with a three piece.
Need: Synth/keys player, bonus points for vocal ability. Knowledge of chord structure and a good ear are major plusses. You would be playing a lot of chordal/pad type stuff, and it would be awesome if you could handle bass duties as well with multiple synths or a split synth.
Need: Drummer- I don’t know much about drumming, but I know that I really love what the Blonde Redhead drummer does. If you could do stuff like that, it would be awesome, but mostly, you just have to want to play and practice.
Links to some of my music.
-amos/lonely-ones
-amos/uneditednite
There are more recordings at that site. Remember, I don’t necessarily want this project to sound like these recordings, but I’d like to play some of these songs, and they give you an idea of my writing style. Contact me if you are interested and you want to give it an honest shot. Hope to hear from you. — Submit Yourself To This Role Now: 1
