poppies9@aol.com Richmond Rock Gods Wanted! Serious band forming that will primarily aim to marry the seemingly conflicted concepts of harmony and dissonance. The usual suspects will be needed; bass, drums (that's me), gitbox, vox, keys, and weirdo-thought-to-be-moribund instruments. Influences, as I am expected to announce, are diverse. Faves include Ryan Adams, Miles Davis, Mogwai, Tortoise, Modest Mouse, Tears for Fears, that Britney Spears song "toxic" and so on. Discipline and Creativity are valued above talent, but you shouldn't suck. I've been playing drums 12 years. I don't suck. Rehearsals will occur as frequently as possible. 3-5 times a week sounds appropriate. Be prepared to tour. No job, school, or significant other should pose an obstacle to the band's success. Everyone is invited; however, it should be noted, that I often clash with pretentious trust fund scenesters who care more for proselytizing than for the composition of quality music. I am nothing in the biz. I have a few contacts. Contact Luke when you are ready. 703-727-2184

And at their core, they are hard-charging electric-guitar songs with a great raw energy. In all honesty Brian’s wish is to be a musician, and to make a living playing and recording his music.

cavaskater@comcast.net Hey... Our band, Twelve Step Revenge, is in need of a drummer. Our founding drummer, Jim, left the band on good terms a little while back. We have a kick-ass stand in (Jim from Channel 43... thanks, man) for the time being, but we really need a more permanent arrangement. We are into (but certainly not limited to) the Descendents, Alkaline Trio, Avail, Bad Religion, Hot Water Music, et cetera... you know what we're talking about. We're not like alot of other bands that are around right now... not metal, nu metal, hardcore, crust, emo, ska, or pop (although some of our songs are a little poppy). Mostly just punk rock. We have a nice indoor practice space with neighbors that don't complain, a PA, good equipment, a bunch of songs, and some shows already lined up. In fact, come out and see us play with Motion Picture Demise, Skyline, and Every New Beginning on 12/23 at Alley Katz! Sure to be a good show. Also, check out our website @ www.twelvesteprevenge.com . You can hear some of our first round of songs on there as well as read a little more about us. Thanks.

befuddleddrummer@yahoo.com Howdy, my name is Ken. I am a thirty something drummer seeking inspiration in a seemingly mediocre world. Does that sound terrible? I have been playing over 20 years. I have played a little southern rock/ rap/ blues/ ska/ rock/ metal/ funk/ etc just dabbling with different folks. I will admit while my timing is very good most of my playing has been improvisational so I have a tendency be a little jam oriented. I am not trying to be like anyone else in my playing. And so I have no desire to play anyone else’s music except perhaps in tribute. My style is rock/ funk/ jazz fusion something or other. Kind of Tool meets the Police. Like a lot of cymbal work. Love playing with time: both inside a standard format or out. I guess I am looking for any musician who is inner directed, passionate, and seeks the thing for the thing itself. I am totally a feel drummer so for it to work best for me I gots to feel it. Tend to like it a little darker u know minors and such. No death metal, preferably something that defies a label would be sweet Stuff I listen to Tool Soundgarden (badmotorfinger rocks) Smashing pumpkins C.O.C Disillusioned Liquid tension Steely Dan Infectious Grooves Dead Can Dance In any case I am located in good old Va. Bitch and I am receptive to jamming and have a spot to do so if u r interested and have a unique voice I’d love to hear from u

penupdesigns@yahoo.com Is your band caught in the red tape of "pre-press" and "camera ready art?" Need some new merchandise, posters, stickers or promo items professionally designed at a price that's actually affordable? My name is Brad and I am a freelance graphic artist of 4 years who has been playing in bands for the last 8 years.
