I don't want to be rude, but it seems like you guys haven't accepted anybody. If you weren't planning to accept keyboard players, singers, lyricists, violinists, or bass players,
What kind of people are you looking for?

We are mainly looking for a bass player and a drummer (I haven't seen a bass player be interested...) but are also interested in brass I believe (...?)

ok, I was just curious. Maybe you should put that in the first post so that people know what you're looking for.

It's been there this entire time.

i want to play tuba!!!!

It looks like you already have one or two bands you're in, and spreading your work across many places is a surefire way to drag them all down. Also, I think our brass search is mainly for trumpet players. Lastly, I don't think you've ever told us your musical interests, which we asked for. I'm sorry, but I don't think we need you either :S

@AgentRoop: well, finding the right person is hard :p veggie and I already play guitar, piano, and can sing. What would be the point of having 4 pianists, 3 guitars, and 5 singers in a band? seems a little silly, no? we have regretfully declined the assistance of all applicants because they just don't seem right. better to find a glove that fits than force an awkward glove onto your hand...

@veggie: yay :3

Thanks for the answer, I understand now. I wish your band good luck!

thank you my good sir c:

So uh what kind of tempo would this have? Would it be fast and upbeat, or slow?

I think it would be pretty fast but not too quick, but as far as I sing the lyrics they're a little droning and come in at the beginning of each new bar, and last until about mid-3rd measure of each bar. I've also started playing the power chords with the octave added to get a fuller sound on the strums.

(This tune is beginning to remind me of Searching For the Ghost by Heartless Bastards, not that that has to do with anything :p)

There are lyrics?? 

not written, but I was planning on including some. Basically I try to find some lyrics that fit, so basically I just sing * until I get a good match :p

Well yeah, I figured you'd include some.
Could you perhaps record a sort of demo/sketch of it so I can get a feel for the structure?

yessir, hopefully ill have it up sometime tomorrow

I'm auditioning as a mixer I guess (Mixing the tracks and adding effects) [I use Logic Express 9] {Example: Electrons Unite Preview} {{note about the example, i know it's mainly electronic, that's where I have a lot of experience, but I can also mix non-electronic music}}

and as a clarinet player, if you ever need one of those, but I don't have my clarinet with me, and won't for about a week, so I'll audition for that later

I could do some synthesizer work and sing. When I say synthesizer, I basically mean I can replicate not just synth sounds, but other untraditional rock instruments such as orchestra, brass instruments, and other rather obscure instruments. 

I would love to do something that would lean towards 80's New Wave/synthpop with the synthesizer sounds I have. 

Of course, you know I have experience with Scratch bands, having managed the Walruses, and I'm going to release a project really soon with my singing voice in it, so you can decide on whether or not my voice would fit in the band or not.

I'd also like to songwrite, too, and experiment with plenty of different genres such as progressive rock, 70's arena rock, the aforementioned 80's synthpop, alternative - even more untraditional genres such as ragtime, 20th century classical, jazz rock, etc.

I hope I'll be of good use in this band, and I'll be releasing the project with my vocals in it shortly. If you also need a project of me playing keyboard, I can post that, too.

@veggie: I don't think we'll need a mixer really, if it's just us two then it can't be too hard. :S

Yeah, that's what I thought. I was planning on just doing some noise removal, EQ, volume, and other things. 

I might be able to play trombone once I get back from my trip

I would love to hear it!

a trombonist would be cool.

are you working on other parts to the song? do you want me to start trying my hand at the lyrics?
