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 🙃
