 Still looking ... Chicago Band wants Any Musician guitarists seeking new band members I am a singer/ songwriter interested in finding a bass player, lead guitarist (possibly, current guitarist may stay in band), pianist, and drummer in the Chicago area. Other instruments may also be considered. I have approximately 20 original songs and am basically interested in finding musicians who can be creative and expand upon the songs to make them more complete. Personal creativity is essential and strongly encouraged. Skill level and musical theory knowledge isn't extremely important as is more capturing the emotions of the songs.
I am extremely easy to get along with and encourage advice, criticism and suggestions whenever possible. I am above average guitarist, usually playing acoustic, but I do enjoy electric guitar occasionally. I am not extremely knowledgable as far as improvisation goes, nor have I really put in much time learning to read music. The songs I have created thus far are mine for the moment, but I want to stress that once they are introduced into the band they become all of ours and have free reign to evolve and improve. Members of the band must be open to criticism, dedicated (i'm a college student so I use that word semi-losely), non-judgemental, and ready to have a good time. They should not dominate a practice (i've had bandmates that won't stop soloing throughout a whole practice. it's annoying and distracting), and not be restricted to the boundaries of one certain way of musical thinking. I am 21, so a preferred range of age is probably between 17 and 30 years of age.
Someone with knowledge in recording and the technical aspect of music would also be gladly welcomed, but is not even close to a must. Influences include Jets to Brazil, Death Cab for Cutie, Elliot Smith, Bright Eyes, Pete Yorn, Ben Kweller, Coldplay's "Parachutes" album, and Beck (more Sea Change-ish however) to name a very few. Short term goals include hoping to play shows around the Chicago area and record an album. Everything else relies on how well we gel and what the future holds.
I myself haven't played a live gig since I had a band in high school so I am extremely anxious to play in front of people again.
