[NYC / Manhattan] Classic/Indie Rock Jam Band Seeking Bassist
We are a cover band based in Manhattan and already have two guitarist/singers, a keyboardist/singer, and a drummer. I am one of the guitarists and singers. All of us have played in bands before (this is my 5th) so we are pretty experienced players. We are all 23-25 year old males and based in Manhattan.
This band started out as Grateful Dead jam sessions so we want to cover a lot of Grateful Dead material. But we also will be covering Steely Dan, The Backseat Lovers, Wilco, The Allman Brothers, ELO, and more. Kind of a mix of classic rock and indie rock with a lot of improvisation.
For background on me specifically, I am classically trained in singing and have played guitar for about 10 years. In college I played in a post-punk/post-hardcore band and a Midwest emo/indie rock band. I currently play in another indie rock band with a lot of math rock influences.
My favorite bands in include Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Sunny Day Real Estate, Sonic Youth, Deftones, Pavement, Converge, Television and Fugazi (but this band will probably not go into that musical territory)
If you are a talented bassist who loves to improvise and is willing to practice about once every two weeks on weekends (not a huge time commitment) we would love to jam with you. If you can rip some jazz that’s a plus. Comment or DM if you are interested!
