Do you know anyone who once stood near/used the phrase/drew you a nice picture of a drum kit?

WARNING! This individual may have been a drummer! If you are still in touch with them, please arrange to meet them, hold a pistol in their mouth and force them to send an email detailing their influences and availability to josephcritchley@hotmail.co.uk

Thankyou for your cooperation in this matter.

Hi Joseph,

What type of music do you want to play. I got plenty of experience, like all sorts of music and would like to start a band. Playing originals is my aim, so let me know what you want to do.

Cheers,

BB

Heyyy!

At the moment I'm listening to YOB, Real Estate, The Caretaker, Rustie, ELOQ, Ford & Lopatin, Dead Rider, True Widows, Planes Mistaken For Stars, JR Ewing, Hawk Eyes, The Mars Volta, Wild Beasts, Refused, Black Breath, Trap Them, Beecher, The Books, Son Lux, Skeletonwitch, Trent Reznor/Atticus Ross, Holy Fuck, Death From Above 1979, Lightning Bolt and Shining.

Some of my favourite artists are Cave In, Refused, Deftones, Hawk Eyes, JR Ewing, Three Trapped Tigers/Evil Ex, Burial, Deaf Center, Svarte Greiner, Ben Folds, Everything Everything, Weezer, Glassjaw and Mastodon.

I'm interested in doing something raw and natural sounding. Tidal Arms, Warship, JR Ewing. I'm leaning towards the idea of something heavy in a fuzzy, doomy, crusty, sludgy sort of way too, Entombed, Black Breath, Trap Them, Struck By Lightning, although I am not to keen on achieving a massively polished or 'classic' metal sound a la Skeletonwitch. There have been a lot of ace post-White Stripes two-pieces in the last 5-10 years. I'm up for trying something intense and stripped down in that area. Death From Above, Lightning Bolt, That Fucking Tank, Pneu, Black Cobra... Kong, Zu.. I'm open to anything so long as it is forward thinking and fits in somehow with what's going on in the here and now. I'd expect any band to sound like a sum of it's parts to begin with and I'm well aware that the sort of drummer I find will dictate things to a certain degree. I'd like to be part of a project which didn't give too much away and came across as sort of distant or detached, a bit dangerous basically. I want to think about all of that stuff.

Let me know if any of that makes sense to you. ( :

Hi J,

Sounds very interestting. I have to admit that I don't know a lot of Bands you have mentioned, but I can see your intention.

I would also like to start something of the beaten track to say the least.

Maybe we can play this fairly easy and get together for a jam and see how things go.

I'm usualy available every evenening, so maybe we can sort something out for next week?

Cheers,

Bernie

That sounds brilliant chief. I'll PM you my details. Don't worry about not having heard of this or that band. All you need know is that I can play OK and I want to do a cool band and have a laugh. ( : J
