I want to form a band with the listed criteria:

~Four members: Drums, Bass, Guitar, Keyboard
~All four members MUST Sing, strong vocals are VITAL!!!
~Diverse musical background
~Ability to hold the pocket down.
~Must be younger than 30
~Solid music skills, open mindedness
~Be creative, I want everyones writing to work together.

I am a 22 year old keyboardist who has played in countless bands, ranging from indie-rock, reggae,blues, punk, funk, cover bands (old school & new). I originally was classically trained until I discovered jazz in middle school. I just graduated college with a BS in Engineering, so I will be working full time, I cant tour.

I love the band I'm in now, but I am curious to see what other styles I could do. I want to join or form a 4 piece super-group. Ideally this band would have four members: Bass, Piano, Drums, Guitar. Absolutely everyone needs to have some vocal ability. I know plenty of musicians in the area who have are great singer/musicians but they are all so thick headed they want to form their SO&SO project, be the lead guy, share no glory. I want to form a group with 4 lead guys. Success will come so quickly you wont know what hit you (regardless of your musical genre)
