We are a Ferndale-based band in search of a lead singer. Male or female. We have guitar, drum and bass taken care of. If you can add guitar, or, preferably keys/organ, even better. We have about an EP's worth of ideas, but are waiting for the right frontperson to flesh them out. Some influences we have that will probably play a part in the sound of this band are: The Animals, Pink Floyd (Piper through Wish You Were Here), Dick Dale, King Kahn and the Shrines, Thee Oh Sees, Tame Impala, Conspiracy of Owls, The Seeds, The Beatles, The Gories, Frank Zappa, Bohemian Vendetta, The Zombies, bands on Nuggets-type compilations
All that being said, we don't have a specific sound in mind. Whatever comes out is the direction we'll go. We are all really into gear, vintage and new. We build and modify our own guitars and pedals too. We like vintage fuzz, psychedelic delay, lots of reverb.
We've all played a lot of shows between Detroit, Hamtramck, and Ferndale, including some with national acts, toured, basically know how to be a band. We're willing to give anyone a shot, but you definitely have to be comfortable with/capable of performing, writing original material, expressing ideas in a band setting, etc. Also, we all have adult jobs, but some reasonable goals for this band are playing good shows, pressing vinyl, getting songs licensed. We usually practice 1 day a week, and all work 9-5 schedules. If everyone feels like, and is able to practice more, we will.
