Vocalist(capable of some guitar work, but wanting to focus on writing and vocals) looking to join or put together a band. Stylistically, think Butthole Surfers, John Zorn's Naked City, Lambrini Girls, Dreamwell, Idles, mewithoutYou, at the drive-in, Jimi Hendrix, Protomartyr, Boredoms, Jayne County, '68, etc... Nasty riffs, heavy and interesting instrumentation. You get the idea.
My vocal style is shouty, staccato, melodic, and influenced by folks like Gibby Haynes, Fred Schneider, Aaron Weiss, Patti Smith, Marissa Paternoster, etc.
My writing consists of themes ranging from religious trauma to abuse/recovery to queer joy to love & triumph. Biblical and literary imagery, poetic license, and internal rhymes. I don't do much in the way of on-the-nose and literal lyrics. I will write or rewrite lyrics to fit particular musical parts, as the muse descends and dictates. Open to other band members writing lyrics as well as critiquing my own and suggesting changes.
I want to practice with the goal of writing and solidifying songs and playing those songs at shows.
Every person involved must be lgbtq+ affirming and interested in lifting up trans voices. This is non-negotiable.
