Musicians wanted for original post-punk/alt band
Need musicians for original post-punk/alt-indie band. Unlike many original projects, I have songs and the older ones are audience-tested. You can hear them on www.snarkjuice.com and there are more that haven't hit the website yet. Some are post-punk; some are alt-indie; some are just weird. We played the NYC/NJ original scene back in the day -- CBGB, Maxwell, Dirt Club etc. Then we all went our separate ways and got day jobs and families. Now, I (singer, songwriter, guitarist) am looking to reform with a new crew. Goal is to have fun, jam, make some recordings, take social media by storm, and play out if we can (though the original scene is not what it used to be). And have some fun.

Not interested in doing covers. Nothing wrong with this but I am interested in originals.

Not interested in being in a band that sucks. Gotta be willing to put in the time to work on the songs and get them tight. But hopefully it will be fun and won't feel like work. : )

You don't need to be a super-virtuoso (I am not one), but please bring some basic musicianship and experience, like being able to count the occasional odd measure or transpose keys or play scales that have more than 5 notes. It's all about playing as an ensemble -- guitarists whose amps go to 11 or drummers who are the reincarnation of Keith Moon may not be a good fit. If you have any recordings of you playing, it is helpful.

We need the works -- another guitar, a bass, drums. A keyboard would be way cool. Also need someone to sing harmonies -- could be one of the instrumentalists or a stand-alone singer. Guitarist would be some rhythm and some lead, depending on what fits with a song. I can play leads but I do not want to play every one -- it is more interesting for the musicians and the audience if this is shared.

For some reason, people want to know how old you are. Dunno why -- its all about the music. But I am 61.

No drugs. No excessive alcohol. No egos. No prima donnas.
