SEEKING

ABOUT

Looking to join a band, that is serious about playing music and being in a band. This is a hobby for me, but I am very serious about my hobbies. I definatley am looking at local and regional gigs. I mainly prefer to play music generally between 1985-2000 and post 2000 bands that were heavily influenced by the 85-2000 era. I like punk and punk flavors (post punk, post hardcore, pop punk, emo, etc) "college radio", alternative, grundge, etc...

Would join an existing all original band if they are established, have a following, and gigs lined up. Otherwise, would love to play in a tribute band, or generic cover band focusing on an era.

I want to be around people that are serious about what they do.

I have a practice space in Harpers Ferry WV (close to Winchester Va, Frederick Md, and Leesburg Va) and prefer to practice there. Breaking down drums is time consuming and it takes 6-7 hours out of a day for a two hour practice somewhere else. See my influences below to get a sense of the type of music I want to play with a band.
