Setting up a new band. Two of us so far, singer and bass player. May have a drummer sorted.

Seeking a melodic guitarist with the endgame of doing music full time. Ideas and imagination essential; bonus if you can write.

Rough demos at https://soundcloud.com/venetiangothic - Just me (singer) playing on them. My songs are different, don't quite know what I'm aiming for so I've uploaded a selection. They aren't very melodic... that's why I'm looking for someone else to come up with guitar parts.

Usually I would prefer to begin acoustically then beef up / tinker with / demo the songs as a band, but I've uploaded a couple of more developed ideas for this ad. Everything can be changed. Always writing more.

Let's do something new: original, upbeat, lo-fi but accessible
