SEEKING
Band to Join, Vocalist, Rhythm Guitar, Bass Guitar, Drums, Trumpet, Saxophone, Keyboard, Piano.ABOUT
Looking for other accomplished musicians to play with. First for fun, then possibly play out locally.
DISCLAIMER: (Snob Alert?)
I am mostly interested in pursuing "progressive" classic R&B, Rock & Funk music - NOT the all to common repertoire of the typical "classic rock" band. I don't mean to offend any lovers of that particular genre - it's just I have already ran that course for many years, and now love playing more advanced music. This does NOT mean I wouldn't love to play Mustang Sally now & then.
So, here are some just some examples of who's music I would consider to be progressive:
Steely Dan
Deep Purple
Cream/Traffic
Beatles
ZZ Top
Talking Heads
David Bowie
British Wave
Any Motown (Aretha, Stevie, JB, etc)
The Rascals
The Police
Toto
Yes
Devo
Journey
The Cars
Bay Area Funk; Tower, Cold Blood, Ballinjack, etc.
