BandMix only allows for uploads of MP3's?? Check out my videos at Myspace/daveschachne or at Youtube/daveschachne, or just google Dave Schachne. Call me on (518) 542-3821. I'm an Award-Winning Songwriter, Band Leader with Vocals, Lead Guitar, Finger Style Acoustic Guitar, multi-instrumentalist. Former Metroland Critics' Choice for Best Local Guitarist/Best New Band (French Letter).
I'm a capable front man (unless I find someone sings & looks better). I love stage & studio.
Looking for a drummer who can play anything from "Midnight Rambler" (live Stones) to "Trenchtown Rock" (Marley) to "Hot Rod Lincoln" (ridin' the train) to upbeat Latin feels, like "Everybody's Everything" (Santana). I'm looking for a bass player who can play "Peg" (Steely Dan) or "Sneekin'Sally" (R. Palmer); a player who doesn't have to show off (but can); a player who loves locking with the kick; a bass player who covers the BOTTOM end ( . . . not a frustrated guitar slinger).
Seeking another capable guitar player, for rhythm and lead work, who's into my influences and likes my originals.
Seeking multi-keyboardist/organ/piano player. Seeking vocalists. Seeking percussionist.

Influences:

Originals & Covers influenced by: Blues & Boogie Rock, R & B, Pop, R & B, Soul, Reggae, 50's rock & rockabilly, 60's rock, 70's rock, 80's rock, new wave, new alternative, acoustic. Clapton, Johnny Winter, Santana, Robert Palmer, Robert Johnson, Derringer, Beatles/Stones, Little Feat, Police, U2, STP, Pretenders, Smiths, Cars, Steely Dan, Bowie, Mott, Floyde, Zepplin, Bad Co., et. al.
Playing originals & Covers with either a great beat a great melody, or ideally, both.

Equipment List:

I prefer acoustic drums to electronic drum kits, but I'm open to excellence. I prefer P-bass, but again open to any bass with full bottom end. The ability to follow/read chord charts & occassional notation will be a plus.
I currently (and generally) play Les Pauls through Fender amps. My main effects are overdrive & delay.
