After an aborted attempt to start a Grunge cover band, and the lesson learned with it, I will try again.
Please read carefully, the ad will be as detailed as I can be.
Me - Bass player that can do backing vocals.
Influenced by Duff McKagan, Jeff Ament, Billy Gould, Mike Starr, Tony Levin, Dug Pinnick, etc..
I want to start a cover band of late '80s, early to mid '90s indie rock/grunge and, why not, add some QOTSA/desert sessions to the mix.
The twist is avoiding if possible the greatest hits of the time and focussing on side projects, lesser-known bands or curve balls of that era.
To give you an idea.
I am thinking Jane's Addiction, Kings X (together or solo proj.), Mother Love Bone, Army of Anyone, Walking Papers (Duff version), Them Crooked Vultures, Loaded, Incubus (some approachable ones in their catalogue), Screaming Trees, Mad Season, Malfunkshun, Green River, AiC, Mudhoney (some of theirs, not all), Fugazi, Skunk Anansie, Audioslave, etc..
We can throw in some hit there and then to keep the audience interested, but mostly B sides that can still sound fresh today to someone who never heard them.
Who am I looking for?
First and foremost someone that knows at least some of the bands I mentioned, just to be sure that we are on the same page
Vocalist - Front person
I don't care your gender, if you can get at least close to Layne Staley (Alice in Chains) and/or Skin (Skunk Anansie) you are the person I have in mind.
If not but you're still interested, let's have a chat and see what we can do.
Lead Guitar
Ideally someone inspired by Ty Tabor, Jerry Cantrell, etc..
Again, not a cast in stone prerequisite, but it helps if you are.
Drummer.
Matt Cameron was your teenage drum hero? We need to talk. If you liked Barrett Martin or Dave Abbruzzese is fine too!
Bonus member
If you play both keyboard and guitar it's intriguing, let's have a chat.
I don't discriminate and I don't have prerequisites based on age, gender, political views, hair colour, ethnicity, etc..
I am not in a rush and this is a long term project that just wants to be pleasure to play together live these songs.
Unless differently specified, the ad is always valid and I will repost it monthly.
Anything else, please ask.
