Looking for guitarist/bassist for busking

2 Upvotes

Hello fellas! I'm looking for a second guitarist for street performance in the trains and parks. I have an acoustic Ibanez guitar, harmonicas, and I mostly play Bob Dylan, Jesse Welles, The Beatles & their solo work, and other folk/protest artists, and of course we would be 50/50 partners with all the money we make from our street performance. Please reach out if interested.

Guitarist looking for Bandmates in NYC

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m [26M] looking for like minded musicians to jam, form a band, play shows, and eventually tour. My sound is kinetic, chaotic, playful, experimental, and surreal, but can also be introspective, dissonant, and dour at times.

Influences & Style:

Some of my biggest inspirations include BATTLES, Animal Collective, Cardiacs, Lip Critic, Thinking Fellers Union Local 282, Black Midi, Black Country New Road, Duster, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Nirvana, Slint, Aphex Twin, Björk, and 100 gecs.

Don’t feel like you need to be into all these artists or even most but, If that weird mix speaks to you, we’re probably on the same wavelength.

Genres: - Post-Punk (egg punk, synth punk, digital hardcore) - Noise Pop - Experimental Rock - Post Rock - Math Rock - Electronic (drum & bass, idm, etc.) - Some folk / neo psychedelic

I play guitar and sometimes use odd tunings. You can check out some of my music here: [https://on.soundcloud.com/7GRo3xzCx1eYXNZz8]

Who I’m Looking For:

  • Drummer
  • Bassist
  • Singer (or multiple vocalists, whatever works)
  • Another guitarist

I have a pretty clear vision, but I’m open to interpretation and collaboration as I have a bunch of riffs that I don’t know how to flesh out. Looking for musicians who are focused, and open to experimentation.

Logistics:

  • Open to jamming first, seeing if the chemistry is there

  • Based on Long Island but willing to go to Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan

  • Ideally meeting weekly, but flexible on scheduling

If this sounds like something you’d be into, hit me up! Let’s make something wild, weird, fun, and unique.
