Looking for Bandmates
Just looking to get back into playing with other folks again. Been spending most of my time on guitar, but also very comfortable as a bassist. Pre-covid, I played shows around the city and went on a handful of 1-2 DIY week tours to the midwest and south. Wish I kept track of all the shows, but I've probably performed somewhere in the 50-100 range.
Working on a record of singer-songwriter type material (wrote about the process here), but my most recent material (albeit from 2020) can be found below:
Influences
Anything in the indie-rock, alternative, post-punk, emo, singer-songwriter vein. Here's a list of my favorites (to name a few):
Death Cab for Cutie // The National // Modest Mouse // Radiohead // Wilco // Horse Jumper of Love // Land of Talk // Pinegrove // Alex G // Nick Drake // Silver Jews // Pavement // Slint // Grizzly Bear // Life Without Buildings // Interpol // Idaho // Duster // Portishead // American Analog Set // Ovlov // Stove // Heavy Vegetable // Pinback // Guided By Voices // Hop Along // Elliot Smith // Paul Simon // Big Thief // Dinosaur Jr. // Cloakroom
Audio
I graduated from the Sonic Arts Center at CCNY with a BFA in Audio Engineering and have lots of experience recording in studios, basements and live venues. Logic is my preferred DAW. Been recording a bit with the Zoom L12 to get out of the box a little.
Goals
Form a group that held weekly rehearsal, performed a local show every month, and record at least one or two songs. Willing to keep it rolling if it's feeling good and natural.
Also just down to jam on some covers.
