Hometown: Los Angeles, CA willing to relocate
Age: 23 years old
Previous Band: L.A.O. (www.myspace.com/LAO, www.purevolume.com/LAO)
Looking for: A band that works hard and is going places. I am not interested in playing music as a hobby or something to do to pass time. I love writing, playing, and performing more than anything in the world. I want to tour, promote, constantly grow, and succeed. I am looking for serious, focused band mates who are dedicated to their band and not drugs.
Experience: I have been playing guitar for nine years. Recorded many songs and projects....one album, one demo, and one cover song at the professional/semi-professional live. I am competent in the studio, but could use more experience. I have played over 600 live shows across the entire United States. Touring on and off for almost three years. Experience with writing and playing both as a primary song writer, group song writing, and no writing. In addition to musical experience, my time on the road has brought me unmeasurable amounts of knowledge and I can definitely handle time on the road, cramped living quarters, discomfort, etc. without a problem. I have also booked every tour I have ever been on, and have many contacts, friends, allies, nationwide.
Style/influences: Mainly just rock. I feel competent in most styles of rock music, with my strengths being in styles with an underground edge and pop structures. My main guitar playing influences are Kurt Cobain, Jade Puget, Chris Shifflet/Dave Grohl, Omar Rodriguez/Jim Ward (At the Drive-In), David Knudson (Botch/Minus The Bear), and many, many more. I listen to a very wide range of music and try to draw influences from all over. I can play pop rock, emo, punk, hardcore, indie, post-hardcore, screamo, alternative, etc. etc. Not really interested in playing metal.
Equipment: Completely road ready. Gibson USA Explorer, ESP EC-300, Rickenbacker solid body (something weird I picked up for those lighter tones). Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier (early 90s model...best dual rect I've ever heard). 4x12 Mesa Boogie Jumbo Cab. Line 6 DL-4 Delay Module, MXR Phaser, Boss NS-2 Noise Supressor, Boss T-1 Tuner.
Other: I feel like I have a very positive attitude and bring not only experience but drive to a band. I am very hardworking and down with a teamwork ethic. I am very comfortable playing in front of any size crowd, and am a very passionate performer. I can learn quickly, and play both rhythm and lead interchangeably. Egos are not my thing, nor do I bring one to the table.
You can hear me playing guitar on every track on the bands myspace and purevolume.com. I play all guitar parts in the track "Fold Into Sleep" and mostly the lead tracks on all other tracks, as well as rhythms.
Please contact me via e-mail, instant messenger, or phone if you think we would be interested in working together.
