Hey! Well, I've listed my favourite four bands in my profile: Cardiacs, Van Der Graaf Generator, The Fall and Ulver (roughly in that order); I want to form a band that sounds like none of them.

What I *do* want to sound like is a fearsomely intelligent, noisy (but not always), audience-engaging art-rock outfit with a sense of humour and the desire to challenge both itself and everyone it comes into contact with.

The whole project will focus on song narrative and expressive performance. It will be savage, tender and above all fun.

I play a bit of bass but my predominant role in the band will be as one of the vocalists. I would like there to be more than one vocalist.

Any instrumentalist may apply. It's not about how well you can play, it's about your attitude. You've GOT to be the kind of person who thinks that music is enjoyed best in a state of madcap delirium.

Not that we won't write awesome tunes. Tunes are great. They're there to be grappled with.

Reply here if you don't think I'm out of my mind...
