I wrote to this band that i wanted to join, they're based out of Silverlake (in East LA for those of you not from here) and i offered them my services as a guitar/synth player, and they finally wrote back to me today and said they wanted me to sing back-up (which i'm not doing) and play synth and play this electronic drum pad thing with them this summer! i wrote back and said i was totally down to do all that and asked again if i could play electric guitar. they're called Letting Up Despite Great Faults and i know that sounds like a terrible emo band but it's not that at all and they're right up my alley so i'm kind of excited...
you can listen to them here if you're interested
