I'm seeking musicians in the Austin area with the same musical interests as mine, and the focus, drive, and dedication to really go somewhere with our music. I will primarily play guitar, write music, and do backup vocals so I'm looking for a drummer, bassist, and singer/guitarist. Check out my songs and the music I like to see if you're interested in working together.
Lots of stuff, but I love Green Day , The Living End , Led Zeppelin, Unwritten Law , Rancid , Queen, Brand New , Fenix*TX ... oh yeah, can't forget Stevie Ray Vaughan... also Blink-182 , Sublime, Zebrahead , Pennywise , Fall Out Boy , The Clash, The Ramones, The Sex Pistols, The Beatles, The Who, The Kinks, The Stones, The Beach Boys, Counting Crows, Dropkick Murphys , MxPx , Eve 6 , John Mayer , Bob Marley, The Black Crowes, The Offspring , My Chemical Romance, 311 , Mozart, Sum 41 , All-American Rejects , The Darkness, Weezer, Coheed and Cambria , Bowling for Soup , Taking Back Sunday , Save Ferris... I go for punk-flavored high energy stuff usually, but I also like funk, motown, 50s-60s 'doo-wop' oldies, rockabilly, blues, reggae and listen to just about everything else. Things you probably won't find in my CD player: jazz, 80's hair-band music, ska, really cheesy country, screamo.
Garden State, Out Cold, Office Space, O Brother Where Art Thou, Almost Famous, Lord of the Rings, Just Friends, BASEketball, Fallen, The Last Samurai, Jay and Silent Bob movies (Kevin Smith), The Seventh Seal, Go, The Girl Next Door, IA2, Garage Days
Scrubs, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, South Park, The Simpsons, Futurama, Family Guy... I like my truth stupid and funny. But I like stuff like the History Channel and the Learning Channel too (those are crack to my learning addiction). American Chopper, Man vs Wild, Survivorman... The Riches
Tolkien, Alexandre Dumas, Melville, Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett (Going Postal), Robin Hobb (Farseer trilogy), Jacqueline Carey (Kushiel's Legacy trilogy), European history (A Distant Mirror by Barbara Tuchman, for example), Medieval Swordsmanship by John Clements, Freedom of the Hills, Touching the Void by Joe Simpson, good ol' Lonely Planet...
Hmm... Let's just call this 'people I admire and who've made a difference in my life': Green Day, The Living End, Led Zeppelin, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Rancid, doctors, nurses, EMTs, and last but not least, my Mom and Dad. Some other people I admire: George Mallory
