I'll be posting this again at least once every 2-3 weeks so that it's up for people to see in case they missed it.
Okay
I am starting a band and I am looking for members. Anyone that lives in
the state of New York area, preferably near Ithaca or Cortland in the state of New York in the US. I've
been wanting to make one for a very long time now.
I'm
interested in playing many covers by other bands, but we won't be a
complete cover band, but I would like to start off with a few covers,
then make our own music, of course.
I myself, do vocals, but I'd
be willing to play bass as well, though I'd need lessons. I'd like to
be able to switch between vocalists, letting someone else take over
every once in a while to give them a chance, if any of the other
members are interested. I mainly do growling/screaming, but to give
the vocals a rest, I can do pretty much anything else.
I am looking for two guitarists (one rhythm, the other lead), a bassist, and a drummer.
