hell yeah @ life. well, at least one [veryyy important] aspect of it.
still have no clue about future plans i.e.: if i'm going back to school, finding a new job that pays me more so i can hopefully move out asap, what am i doing in general, etc.
i'm learning how to be more open with my thoughts and feelings and blahblah and because of that, things are getting better i think. for instance, i've wanted to add a second guitarist/bass player to deer friends since last winter and i just now told marlon and he's down with it, if we can find the right person.
that being saiddd...if you're in the central jersey area [nyc, philly, whatever..as long as you can come to practice often] and would be interested in shreddin', or you know someone looked for a band, let me know!
requirements:
-must have sweet gear! i have a very loud rig and you'd need to be able to keep up with me and marlon. right now i'm using an orange ad30htc head with an avatar 2x12 cab and an ampeg v4 head [loud as shit] with a 4x12 mesa boogie cab. i doubt i would make my rig smaller if we got another guitarist, but i'm not sure! hate to sound like a dick, but a tube [guitar] amp is basically a must. unless you can impress me otherwise, it's a must! the more pedals, the better! a capo would probably be needed, seeing as probably 2/3 of our songs use one. if you had a baritone guitar [fender jaguar baritone custom ;) ] that'd be kinda perfect, actually.
-no drama, ever! i'm pretty sure in the almost 5 years i've known marlon, we've never been in a fight or anything. best buds till the end!
-transportation and ability to come to practice/shows. you don't have to be from super close, but as long as you can come to practices and shows and hang outs and stuff, then we're down! we're not just looking for a new member, but a new bud!
-super important; that you're able to play with us. we kind of have a "weird" style of writing music and so basically if you can write with us, that's most important. i don't want it to be a thing where i write a song and tell you to make up parts for it, that's not how we work.
-we're not straight edge, don't care if you are or aren't. preferably not, just because we're sick of elitist central jersey straight edge attitudes.
-want to actually play shows and practice and hopefully get our act together and tour this summer. we're not a casual band with once a month practices and we love to play together.
i don't know, just let me know if you have any leads!
