Angry English teacher
looking to front local rock band. I’m
38, past my prime, and pissed about the state of the world--time to rock! Let’s see if you can keep up with me. No instruments or gear but I can write lyrics
and front a band (drama, dance, athletics, hardcore/mosh pit background). To boot I can hack a few chords out on a git,
play bass with instruction from a guitarist, keep a beat on a drumset, play
percussion, some sax, and have a solid sense of rhythm and an ear for
music. More than anything: give me a mic so I can connect us to and rile
up the crowd. Warning—I’m political and
I will climb on shit if it’s possible.
I come at making music
mostly from an improvisation/jam perspective—with a lot of punk attitude (Not
Green Day kids—more like Black Flag. . . look ‘em up and take a wisten.). I want to make original music (To see my
influences and current faves, respond to this ad and I’ll get you hooked up
with me on Facebook—there are too many to list.) with people who feel the
same. Let’s live in the moment and not
worry about being “serious musicians:”
pleasure before practice and profit I say!
That said I want to
play out and blow some peoples’ minds . . . that’s what it’s about right? Let’s put on a show—something that respects
our audience and their time, exists in the moment, is dangerous, honest, and
exciting. I’m hearing at least a couple
guitars, a big rhythm section sound, me going off over it all, and maybe even
some keys, extra percussion, and a horn or two.
Make it so some freak can dance to it already. I love punk, metal, hard rock, alt-country/
rock, funk, soul, R&B, and good ‘ol classic American and Brit rock ‘n roll
man—LOVE IT!
If you’re down hit me
up soon—I have about a month before my life starts getting progressively
complicated, and then insane, as school starts.
Let’s do this.
