looking for musicians/awesome people/fun
Hi there.
How are you?
We're two people looking for multi-instrumentalists to join our new London band/project thing.
If you are the kind of person that wants to be creative/have fun/try something new.
If you can play guitar/bass/strings/keyboard/brass/any combination thereof and have a singing voice you're not afraid to share with others.
If you like working collaboratively - can communication respectfully and have a laugh while doing so.
Then we want you.
Non-professionals actively encouraged. We're looking for confidence/willingness/open mindedness over proficiency/hard-nosed professionalism.
Strong opinions welcome and encouraged. Strong commitment needed. Doing it for love. etc.
Things that we think are cool include (non-exclusive list)
(as hard as it is to write a list of things without coming across as po-faced)
Radiohead. The Chemical Brothers. Nirvana. Timbaland. Bon Iver. Six By Seven. Murcof. Girls Aloud. Godspeed You Black Emperor. Autechre. Beth Orton. Elbow. Maccabes. Florence and the Machine. Beyonce. Animal Collective. Linkin Park. The Beatles. Longpigs. Pink. Bloc Party. Arcade Fire. Friendly Fire. Arctic Monkeys.

What we want to do: a fun/new/weird combination of folk/rock/dance telling a universal tale of truth loss and honesty. With jumping around/audience participation/children's stories and good times. Not so much four guys standing on stage looking glum playing music we've heard a million times already.
There's probably no money in this.
We already have some songs worked out. But we welcome all input.
If you want to get involved please get in touch and we'll meet up for a drink.
