Ha, I got a decent drummer at work, but he strictly plays new boring metal. Not even classic old metal, he likes to play new wave classic boring metal.. Not Maiden, but the latest Dickinson single.


But at this point I would join anyone wanting to play, so we tried to set a band, me playing bass... but it's fucking impossible over here, there is not a single grown up japanese with spare time to play . Bands are only for teens and some university students.

a shoegaze/drone band with long solos, kind of like a more extreme version of Silversun Pickups with Beach Boys melodies, Ray Davies lyrics, and heavily processed John Cipollina/Neil Young leads.
an ambient/EDM project with one or more multi-instrumentalists that'd use sequencing, programmed stuff, and more delay lines than they have at PGS along with live Boards of Canada-esque processed guitars and such. i.e. a spacier version of the Campfire Headphase sound.
a psychedelic folk project with British influence rather than tired old Americana, something that'd be 50% Fairport, 25% acoustic Hawkwind, and 25% Gong.

an experimental alt rock/electronic band. The guitar sounds would alternate between fuzzed out and trippy ambient stuff. We'd have a synth guy using analog synths and modules to add cool sounds and textures...and fat basslines.

i'd also enjoy playing in a country-punk band a la the Mekons, who i adore.

I want to be in a 2 piece improv unit that doesn't face each other when they play, discuss ANY part of each performance before hand, and through exploration find a jam that works during each set and ride it through

I am trying to do this as a 3 piece now. It's fun, but it doesn't always seem to work for us. But I have always loved operating in a similar matter, I used to sing with a band that I never used to rehearse with, I just felt the groove of all the songs and spat out words over the top.

All of this. Yes, please.

I wanna be in a disco band... There I said it.
One where you have to wear white leather jackets with long fringes hanging off the sleeves, and do slash chords with chika rhythm and fuzzy solos... Sounds good, yeh?!

...

A friend of mine I jam with every so often who is usually a bassist hops onto drums and I play bass, and we don't look at each other or discuss anything and its SO rewarding in the end, getting into each of the movements and seeing where they go. Its sooo much fun too

Like a more distorted We Are Ghosts.
Yesssss.....YEEESSSSSS I WANT THISSSSS

I want to be in a death/doom metal band, slow thundering riffs and lots of guttural grunts and growls.
Like Oak, more or less.

japandriods/cloud nothings/smith street band style band. really loud noisy punkish stuff but with pop
a great drummer would always come in handy
people around me who appreciate pedalboards
post rocky band with lotso fuzz

A downtuned kraut band. Drone guitar or feedback throughout jams. I think it'd be sweet to have a stripped down drum kit (hi hat, snare, triggered kick, washy ride) and utilize shakers and tambourines. I hear something between mammals and can, but with a slant on the 60s pscyacdlic playfulness.
