ABOUT

I play drums for an 80s goth/wave/post-punk cover project and we’re looking for a keyboard or synth player. Songs/artists range from Depeche Mode, Golden Earring, The Smiths, Echo & the Bunnymen, INXS, and much more. We rehearse about once a week in Thousand Oaks. Hit me up if you’re interested.
