We're a newly forming band, very much at that embryonic stage, seeking a drummer. The music is of the melodic, guitar-based pop ilk. Influences include the Go-Betweens, the Smiths, Television, Love, Nick Drake, Felt, Pale Fountains, the Sound, Echo & the Bunnymen, Replacements, XTC, early REM, John Cale, the Buzzcocks, to name a few. Ideally, we'd like someone capable of both hard-hitting skin-bashing and subtlety/restraint. Although there is an emphasis on melodies, hooks, etc, there still needs to be a certain energy that comes across, especially live. That said, we're also not above a little Big Star's "Third" or Nick Drake type moodiness when the song warrants it.
We'd like to do shows and record and do all those things that fully functioning bands generally do, so we'll need someone who can commit to rehearsing every week.
We've got some new songs that we're currently hashing out, which can be used as a starting point. Some of these tunes are more fully developed than others.
If any of this sounds even remotely interesting, please drop us a line!
Also, although we're in the east bay, please don't hesitate to contact us if you're in SF. We're willing to be flexible with logistics.

Re: Bay Area Melodic Pop Band seeks Drummer
We need a bassist too, by the way. Someone who plays for the song, and doesn't fight it.
