The Stand Ins + Band in Albany, OR

SEEKING

ABOUT

I have 2 published CDs (as 2 Phun E) and a couple of dozen "nearly finished" songs recorded.
I need to recruit a band to play them live.
I have enough original material for a whole show, and enough half finished stuff for at least another entire set. Maybe 2 more.
I could use some lyric writing help if anyone is good at that.

Members Of Band

Mike DeRusha - So far...
I'm on facebo0k and tw1tter under (at symbol)Mike_DeRusha.

I've been playing since 1978. I play guitar, bass, drums, some keys, and I can usually get pleasant sounds out of any instrument within 10 minutes of picking it up. I also know my way around a recording studio and have self produced 2 CDs and an EP.
My goal is to become a producer / manager for local musicians and comedians so we can create a live show to tour around for money.

EQUIPMENT

I play a couple Epiphones and a Greg Bennett Bass.
I use a Peavey Keyboard amp for everything since it's a 3 channel PA on wheels.
I have a ZOOM 16 track and a ZOOM 4 track field recorder.
I cheat and use electronic drums because, apartment...
I also have everything to produce HD videos, DVDs, and CDs.
I have a small in-home recording studio. Digital multi-track, mics, stands, etc...
But it's in my apartment, so it's very limited due to neighbors not wanting a band playing in a 1-bedroom apartment.

The only things I don't have are people and a place to be loud.
