Howdy! I (m28) am moving to LA for work in September and am anxious about finding my way into the local scene there. I’ve only ever existed in the Mid-West DIY scene, so I’m hoping to connect with people in LA to play with, check out some shows, and maybe start a project.
Currently the drummer in Emo band LaterGator based in Indianapolis. Before then, I was on drums for Illinois-based Pop Punk band Jumping Ship. As you can tell, I usually end up on drums, but I also play Guitar, Bass, and sing (by Emo’s standards.) Typically been the predominant lyricist in my bands as well. References found below!
Obviously down to drum, but would be into being on whatever if you are/have a drummer already. Would be into anything Emo/alt/indie/pop rock/indie pop/mathy/etc.
I like more music than I dislike, but here are some artists I’ve been listening to a lot lately: Oso Oso, Rosie Tucker, Antarctigo Vespucci, Cheekface (LA’s own!), Cheem, All Get Out, boygenius, Winona Fighter, Gaslight Anthem, Fireworks, The Format, Arm’s Length, Prince Daddy & the Hyena, Bad Books, Laura Stevenson, Bleachers, Carly Rae Jepsen
