Hi, I play in a band called Decorating. We're looking for a new lead guitarist.

Hi, I play in a band called Decorating. We're looking for a new lead guitarist.

We might not sound like these bands, but these bands are the general vibe:

The Breeders, early b-52s, Mudhoney, Devo, Kleenex, US Maple, Unrest, Osees, Pavement, The Spits, APTBS, Black Lips, Protomartyr, Lower Dens, Yves Tumor, Cindy Lee, Parking, Forty Feet Tall, Big Boys, Guiding Light, Being Dead, 70s punk, no wave, slacker rock/Flying Nun, 90s stuff, blah blah blah.

You:

  • should be into some of those things
  • are serious about music. Let's say... more than a hobby?
  • have your life together. You're reliable and communicate.
  • are a good guitar player. You know your instrument, but like making lo-fi, simple music.
  • can learn songs fast. You have the time and the commitment.
  • can sing/yelp. (Not required though.)

We:

  • are older. Late 30s-40s. 1 gay guy, 2 straight, with friendly, artsy/skate/punk backgrounds.
  • practice once a week, in south Austin.
  • are focused on playing out, having a fun live show. Eventually, we'll record something proper... maybe.

Note:

  • Not a hired gun situation. We want someone who wants to play with us. We have baked songs you'll have to learn, but hopefully you have ideas/songs for us to learn too.
  • This isn't a shredder role. Our sound isn't heavy, metal, thrashy, bluesy or solo-y. If your stoke is virtuoso playing, we're prob not it.
  • We're not trying to "make it." Unless by making it, you mean playing shows in town.

Here's our dumb little video where you can hear where we're headed.

Women and gay/queer folks strongly, strongly encouraged to reach out.

Thanks for reading. DM or email us! dddddecorating@gmail.com 🙃
