I wanna be in a _________ band goddammit!!!!!

[Achtane]

Mmm...
SHOOGAEZ that is more Swirlies or Joy Sores than sighing into eighteen reverbs.
Yeah, shoegaze where the bass isn't clean all the damn time.

[gruizmuller]

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.

Sounds awesome!

Been thinking about this a lot:

I'd like to be in a straight-up rock band with digressions into country licks and metal riffs, with no apologies given for those. Neil Young guitar toans and playing with the dynamics between really loud and really quiet in the same song. Proper song topics up for grabs are love, loss, and life. Fuzz, noise, and psych freakouts in songs. Two guitarists and a whole slew of other instruments. I'd especially like a violinist. And a drummer who really, really, can lay down a groove (and also has a van and a practice space..) And then I realized I've been listening to Wilco again..

[Josh Pelican]

I want to be in a band with Excane.

[Greenfuz]

doom metal meets nwobhm with darker, more black metal-esque manowar lyrics

bass power chords

squeely floyd rose divebomb solos

album covers with evil knights and skeletons and lamenting women

old 80s spikey guitars refinished in dark walnut stains

and somebody would rock a painted sg like claptons but it would have a wizard on it



but I can't play metal so one of you guys get on this

[Josh Pelican]

I'd be into that, only if everyone wore gauntlets with giant nails and multiple bullet belts.



Or robes.

YESSSSSSSS

[mathias]

that's so Raven.

[snipelfritz]

My ideal band would be a baroque dance punk ensemble called Danny Dangerous and the Dancefloor Disciples. Yes there would have to be 12 other people.

Otherwise I think it'd be fun to play in a rap group. Like as backing band.

[Greenfuz]

disco punk

[mathias]

While I'm on my laundry list of awesome thugs I want in a band: female singer that can really sing, and is interesting in live looping vocals (big Chelsea Wolfe inspiration here)

Also because I'm tired of hearing dudes sing.

This song always gets me jacked beyond belief.

[Gearmond]

i've come to accept my status as a non-bandmate-haver so i've decided that any musical project i do, is gonna be me as bandleader, unless i really hit it off and jive with someone's style.

but projects in the works/what i wanna do
(in the works) Bakemono: solo project. abstract beats that kinda stumble over themselves in clusters, long bits of 4th notes, then a quick flourish of a 32nd note beat or something with washes of guitar, synth, or melodica with a sorta Karate/Kinsellacore/Bossa Nova feel. geometric guitar melodies akin to Dustin Wong and Dirty Projectors solos, with vocaloid vocals courtesy of Megurine Luka

wanna do: jazz project working with the above tonal aesthetic of kinsellacore/bossa nova adding in contemporary stuff (claudia quintet/metheny-ish vibes) but with a strong emphasis on improvisation utilizing expanded electronic ephemera of modern instruments. guitar, bass, drummer/drum machine, woodwind, and maybe a vibes player. i'd like to use electronic extensions in a jazz context beyond just making noise, or chopping things up after the fact like most acts seem to do

wanna do: basically The Birthday Party, but more fucked up and with maybe two singers (one doing Nick Cave, the other growly scotch-voice boogie woodie stuff)

wanna do: experimental/noise rock/hip-hop group. think Dope Body + Eels' cover of Get Yr Freak On + Pere Ubu + Nicki Minaj's Stupid Ho and Roman in Moscow

wanna do: 21st century folk act using electronic instruments and acoustic guitar played through pedals (especially if i can find an acoustic with a trem system, that would own), beats, and electric trumpet, and singer(s). sorta what Bakemono would sound like, but maybe more rooted in folk music

i think that should be all. basically i wanna do new shit.

[Mudfuzz]

(especially if i can find an acoustic with a trem system, that would own)

Peavey made one in the 90's... I remember them kind'a raspberry colored

[Gearmond]

ooh, and they actually look pretty nice too. which is weird as hell for peavy.


also apparently brian adams has an acoustic with a bigsby or something on it
